[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][G]
[C][Am][Em][Em]
[Bm]Softly,

[Verse 1]
in the evening dusk,
a woman is singing to me
She [Am]takes me back down the vista
of my years, until I [Bm]see
I see a child underneath the piano,
in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the [Am]poised feet of his mother
who smiles at him as she sings

[Chorus 1]
Cucuru[C]cu,[Am]
Cucuru[Em]cu[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Softly now in the evening dusk,
a woman is singing to me
She takes me [Em]back
down the vista of my [D]years, until I see
A boy, a [Am]child underneath the piano,
in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing [Em]the poised feet of his mother
who [D]smiles at him as she sings
[Am]Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart [Em]beats with a ceaseless longing
of a [D]yearning to belong
[Am]In spite of myself,
and all of these nursery songs
My heart [Em]beats with a ceaseless longing
of a [Bm]yearning to belong

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am][G][D][B]
Till the melo[Am]dies of childish [G]days,
are [D]upon, upon [B]me
And they take me [Am]back,
back [G]down the river
They keep [D]leading me on,
[B]they lead me to the sea
And [Am]all of my manhood is c[G]ast
[D]Down in the flood of remembrance,
and I [B]weep like a child for the past

[Chorus 2]
Singing cucuru[C]cu, cucuru[Am]cu
Singing cucuru[Em]cu, cucuru[D]cu
[C][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
I see a [C]child underneath the piano,
in the [Am]boom of the tingling strings
Pressing [Em]the poised feet of his mother
who [D]smiles at him as she sings
[C]Listen to me son,
I'll tell you [Am]why your father's strong
'Cause [Em]he can still say every single day,
[D]he's yearning to belong
[C]Yearning to belong, [Am]yearning to belong
My heart [Em]beats with a ceaseless longing
of a [D]yearning to belong
[C]In spite of myself,
and all of these [Am]nursery songs
My heart [Em]beats with a ceaseless longing
of a [D]yearning to belong

[Chorus 3]
Singing cucuru[C]cu, cucuru[Am]cu
Singing cucuru[Em]cu,[D]
Singing cucuru[C]cu, cucuru[Am]cu
cucuru[Em]cu[D]
