Lola Amour

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Em Bm
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Lola was the smartest in the school
               Bm
She was a supernova
 
She had a mind beyond her time
                   Em
It was a thrill to know her
                                                        Bm
She had dreams, she'd fall in love some place like Barcelona
 
Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           Em
She could've walked on the moon, yeah
 
She could've found us a cure
                          Bm
But family didn't have no food
 
And she had to leave school to work
                  Em
Nobody breaks the ceiling
 
Nobody where she's from
                  Bm
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Nobody's listening
       Em
So she won't speak, won't speak
                               Bm
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
                                Em
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
                           Bm
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Lola
                                                         Bm
She believed the world, they promised her, but now she's older
 
She's seen the people disagree and disappear
    Em
The power's out for days
 
No food is on its way
 
Nothing changes
                          Bm
This ain't the dream they sold us
 
Lola, Lola, Lola
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           Em
She could've walked on the moon, yeah
 
Could've found us a cure
                          Bm
But she worried 'bout her children
 
Ninety miles till the shore
                  Em
Nobody breaks the ceiling
 
Nobody where she's from
                  Bm
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah
 
Nobody
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Nobody's listening
       Em
So she won't speak
 
Won't speak
                               Bm
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
                                Em
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
                           Bm
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak
 
 
[Verse 3]
               Em
Se pone bien bonita
 
Como lista pa' un desfile
 
Le prometieron ser la
 
Reina del Caribe
Bm
Pero alguien le cambió
 
El guión de cine
 
Y comenzar de nuevo
 
Solo pide
    Em
Del bajo mundo ella proviene
 
Cuanto vales cuanto tienes
          Bm
Ese es el precio de mi Lola
 
Cuando no hay salida
 
Quiere libertad
Bm
Quiere patria y vida
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Nobody's listening
       Em
So she won't speak
 
Won't speak
                               Bm
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
                                Em
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
                           Bm
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak

[Outro]
Em
  Quiso sacarse el dolor
 
Matando su corazón
Bm
  Ella soñaba volar
 
Pero el avión nunca
   Em
Despegó
 
Cuanto sufre el paso
                       Bm
Del tiempo y siempre sola
                       N.C.
En mi Havana cuantas Lola's
