7th traste

[Verse 1]

I got here late, this hostel is full

C

But for six bucks, Vicente lets me sleep on the floor

Tells me it's mellow, won't be noisy at all

C

But you know

G

She lies

 

[Verse 2]

And she takes pictures of me while I sleep

Laughs in the morning as she shows them to me, says,

D C

"Don't be mad, please don't leave, there's a party tonight"

 

[Verse 3]

'Cause down here the 25th don't mean a thing

In Columbia, it's all about Christmas Eve

D

So I change my plans and I

C

Drop my things and I say alright

 

[Chorus]

And we talk about Joseph and Mary,

Out in the cold tryin' to have their baby

Vincente said, "If they'd come to Cartagena instead

D G

They could have slept on her floor

 

[Verse 4]

And these two French guys have all the drugs so we

Smoke on the balcony and talk about love

Say "You might as well love all the way if you're gonna love at all"

C

Then Vicente

G

She just nods

 

[Verse 5]

So we gather everyone, assemble the team

Go to the Plaza with my guitar and sing

It's all request Wednesday and somehow it seems

C

We find some songs we can agree upon

 

[Chorus]

And we talk about Joseph and Mary,

Out in the cold tryin' to have their baby

Vincente said, "If they'd come to Cartagena instead

D G

They could have slept on her floor

 

[Verse 6]

No one can shower here, everything is broken

C

I've exhausted my Spanish, all my words have been spoken

D

So I play some Bob Marley, I make an exception

C G

And we all come together for a song

 

[Verse 7]

Vincente asks me why I smile when I sleep

Wonders who I think about when I dream

D

I tell her about you and she does not believe

C

But she wishes me luck anyway

 

[Verse 8]

So I decided I would find you again

I learned to pronounce my double L's as J's

D

And I will take you dancin' I am no longer am afraid

C

I found all my courage out here

 

[Chorus]

And we talk about Joseph and Mary,

Out in the cold tryin' to have their baby

If they're born again, they should come to Cartagena instead

D C G

I know a place they could sleep on her floor
