[Verse 1]
G           D
There was a girl who used to live
Am     C                 G
At the grey house by the bridge
       D            Am      C
At the edge of the empty world

G            D
Carmen's the name
       Am                C
That evokes the fear and shame
G        D              Am        C
From the people that she left behind

[Verse 2]
G           D
She had the spirit
   Am               C
To live her life so free
G               D             Am         C
Although many people wanted to clip her wings

G         D
She ran away
Am                     C
She broke away the chains
G         D                 Am     C
That they wrapped around her heart

[Verse 3]
G          D            Am                   C
The people said, 'out of all the things she's done
G                      D              Am            C
The worst one was just leaving without saying goodbye'
G          D            Am                   C
The people said, 'out of all the things she's done
G                      D              Am            C
The worst one was just leaving without saying goodbye'

G  D              C
Carmen, the voices cry out
