Tom: F#m
F#m D Bm E
Dear Carmen, the streets are empty tonight
F#m D F#m E
And livin’ alone is like poison in my bones
F#m D E A
Well I’m chasin’ the shadows and I’m takin’ no chances
F#m D E A
Midwinter chill is still takin’ its toll
F#m D E F#m E
And Monterey’s callin’ and the boulevard’s hummin’ in my soul.
[Refrain]
A D A F#m
Ah, Carmen, the memories play
Bm A D E
Fillin’ my heart and killin’ the pain
A D A F#m
Darlin’, I want you to know
Bm A D E
I love you so much I can’t let you go.
[Verse 2]
F#m D Bm E
Well, that woman sure got a good hold on me
F#m D F#m E
And layin’ beside her’s the sweetest thing I know
F#m D E A
And her eyes are still clear and bright there in my memory
F#m D E A
Love is a song singin’ sweetly to me
F#m D E F#m
And all of this sadness is fallin’ behind
E
And I think I just might get free.
[Refrain]
A D A F#m
Can’t you see, Carmen, the memories play
Bm A D E
Fillin’ my heart and killin’ the pain
A D A F#m
Darling, I want you to know
Bm A D E
I love you so much that I can’t let you go.
A D A F#m
Don’t you know, Carmen, the memories clear
Bm A D E
Chasin’ the sadness and you’re killin’ the tears
A D A F#m
Darling, now, I want you to know
Bm A D E
I love you so much that I can’t let you go.
