Mmmmmmm
[Verse]
Bm
Softly now in the evening dusk, a woman is singing to me;
F#m E
She takes me back down the vista of my years, until I see
D Bm
A boy, a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
F#m E
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
D Bm
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
F#m E
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
D Bm
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
F#m E
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
[Chorus]
D Bm
Cucurucu, cucurucu
F#m E
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
Bm, A, E, G#m7
Mmmmmmm
[Verse]
Bm A E C#7
Till the melodies of childish days, are upon, upon me
Bm A
And they take me back, back down the river
E C#7
They keep leading me on, they lead me to the sea
Bm A
And all of my manhood is cast
E C#7
Down in the flood of remembrance, and I weep like a child for the past.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
F#m E
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
D, Bm, F#m, A
Mmmmmmm
[Verse]
D Bm
I see a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
F#m A
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings.
D Bm
Listen to me son, I'll tell you why your father's strong
F#m E
Cause he can still say every single day, he's yearning to belong
D Bm
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
F#m E
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
D Bm
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
F#m E
My heart beats with a ceaseless, meets with a peaceless burning to belong
[Chorus]
D Bm
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
F#m E
Singing cucurucu
D Bm
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
F#m E E E E E
Cucurucu
