G5       G5    G5   G5 G5 C5 
Carmen, Carmen, Car-m -e-n  
 
(verse 1) 
  C5 
Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking  
                              G5 
Tonight Carmen's coming back home  
 
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom  
  G5                          C5         
Tonight Carmen's coming back home  
 
Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here  
       C5               F5  
Is trembling as never before  
                              C5 
My feelings I can't hide, resistance has all died  
     G5 
My pride will rush outside  
                G5                C5 
The moment she walks through the door  
 
(verse 2) 

The lips that have kissed her, that's loved her and missed her  

Are lips that have cursed her at night  

In anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went  

From darkness till dawn's golden light  

I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking  

The body I'm waiting to touch  

I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating  

While anticipating  

The woman I've wanted so much  
 
(verse 3) 
       C5 
I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours  
                                  G5 
I've put brand new sheets on the bed  
 
I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling, remembering  
     G5                      C5 
The way that she tosses her head  
 
I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to  
      C5                   F5 
Have more control over my life  
                         C5 
How can I fight it, how can I deny it,  
        G5                                  G5          C5  
There's no way to hide it The love that I have for my wife  
  G5       G5    G5   G5 G5 C5 
Carmen, Carmen, Car-m -e-n
