[Verse 1]
C E F
First time on a plane, 18, you came
Am Dm
You found a door and held it open
C F C
No way to know how to make a home
G
In someone else's motherland
[Prechorus]
Am C F
You transplanted a family tree
Am C F
And a part of it grew into me
[Chorus]
F
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee
C
I'll throw it for you, Carmen
G F
Carmen, I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
C
Let them adore you, Carmen
G F
Carmen, I will
C G
Carmen, Carmen
[Verse 2]

Look at all the trouble that you made
Am Dm
Carved your initials in this island
C F C
But the Weetabix don't taste the same
G
And we're all talking to our phones
[Prechorus]
Am C F
But you reigned over a family tree
Am C F
And I'll carefully carry the seeds
[Chorus]
F
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee
C
I'll throw it for you, Carmen
G F
Carmen, I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
C
Let them adore you, Carmen
G F
Carmen, I will
