In The Heights - Everything I Know

D G (2x) D In this album there’s a picture D G Of the ladies at Daniela’s G You can tell it’s from the eighties Bm A By the volume of their hair G Em There’s Usnavi, just a baby G D ‘Eighty-seven, Halloween Em Am D If it happened on this block, Abuela was there C7 Every afternoon I came A She’d make sure I did my homework C7 She could barely write her name D Bb But even so… C7 She would stare at the paper Dm And tell me Cm A “Bueno, let’s review Am Gm Why don’t you tell me F Am Everything you know.” D In this album there’s a picture D G Of Abuela in Havana D G She is holding a rag doll Bm A Unsmiling, black and white G C I wonder what she’s thinking G C Does she know that she’ll be leaving G C D For the city on a cold, dark night? C And on the day they ran D A Did she dream of endless summer? C Did her mother have a plan? D A Or did they just go? D C Did somebody sit her down and say Cm Bb G “Claudia, get ready, to leave Am D C Behind everything you know”? D C Everything I know N.C. What do I know? D In this folder there’s a picture D G From my high school graduation D G With the program, mint condition Bm A And a star beside my name D Here’s a picture of my parents D G As I left for California G Cm She saved everything we gave her D A Every little scrap of paper C And our lives are in these boxes D A While the woman who held us is gone C G D But we go on, we grow, so… F Cm D Hold tight, Abuela, if you’re up there G Am C I’ll make you proud of everything I know! C Thank you N.C. Dm For everything I know
