Mama would say,
D    F#m     Bm F#
"Paciencia y fe"
       Bm                   A
It was hotter at home in La Vibora
    D          F#m        Bm  F#
The Washington Heights of Havana
Bm                A                 D  F#m Bm F#
A crowded city of faces the same as mine
Bm                    A
Back as a child in La Vibora
D            F#m          Bm F#
I chased the birds in the plaza
Bm                       A
Praying, Mama, you would find work
D           D/F#          Bm      F#           Bsus B
Combing the stars in the sky for some sort of sign

Ay, Mama, so many stars in Cuba

En Nueva York we can't see beyond our streetlights

To reach the roof you gotta bribe the supa
Em                               F#
Ain't no cassiopia in Washington Heights
Em                        F#
But ain't no food in La Vibora
           G                    A                      Bm
I remember nights, anger in the streets, hunger at the windows
G                                      A                     D   D7
Women folding clothes, playing with my friends in the summer rain
G                                 A                     D9        C9    B
Mama needs a job, Mama says we're poor, one day you say, "Vamos a Nueva York"
                   Em                      A               B
And Nueva York was far, but Nueva York had work, and so we came
D                Bm
And now I'm wide awake
D                   B
A million years too late
G              F#                   Bm
I talk to you, imagining what you'd do

Remembering what we went through
