Verse 2
[Am]Softly now in the [Am7]evening dusk, a woman is singing to me;
She takes[Em] me back down the vista of[D] my years, until I see
A boy, a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
Chorus
[Am][Am7]Singing [Em][D]cucurucu, cucurucu cucurucu cucurucu
[Am][G][D][B7]Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Bridge
[Am]Till the [G]melodies [D]of[B7] childish days, are upon, upon me
[Am]And they take [G]me back, back down the river
[D]They keep leading [B7]me on, they lead me to the sea
[Am]And all of my manhood is cast,
[G]Down [D]in the flood of remembrance, and I [B7]weep like a child for the past.
Chorus
[Am][Am7]Singing [Em][D]cucurucu, cucurucu cucurucu cucurucu
[Am][Am7]Hmmmmmm[Em] [D]Hmmmmmm Hmmmmmmmm Hmmmmm
Verse 3

Listen to me son, I'll tell you why your father's strong
Cause he can still say every single day, he's yearning to belong
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless, meets with a peaceless burning to belong
Chorus
[Am]Singing[Am7] [Em]cucurucu, [D]cucurucu Singing cucurucu cucurucu
[Am]Singing[Am7] [Em]cucurucu, [D][D7]cucurucu Singing cucurucu cucurucu
