These are the chords for It Wont Be Long Now by In The Heights on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Vanessa: Verse 1]
D A
The elevated train by my window
D
Doesn\'t faze me anymore
G
The rattling screams don\'t disrupt
my dreams
F#m G
It\'s a lullaby, in its way
D A
The elevated train drives everyone
insane
D G
But I don\'t mind, oh no
D
When I bring back boys
G
they can\'t tolerate the noise
D
And that\'s okay,
F#m G
\'cause I never let them stay
[Chorus 1]
G
And one day,
I\'m hoppin\' that elevated
A D
train and I\'m riding away!
A D
It won\'t be long now!
[Vanessa: Verse 2]
D
The boys around the way
A
holler at me when
D
I\'m walking down the street
G
Their machismo pride doesn\'t
break my stride—
F#m G
It\'s a compliment, so they say
D A
The boys around the way holler at
me every
D G
day but I don\'t mind, oh no
D G
If I\'m in the mood, it will not
be with some dude
F#m
Who is whistling \'cause
he has nothing to
G
say
Or who\'s honking at me
F#m
from his Chevrolet!

[Chorus 2]
G
And one day...
A
I\'m hoppin\' in a limousine
D
and I\'m driving away!
A D
It won\'t be long now!
[Usnavi, Benny, Sonny: Verse 3]
G
Oh snap! Who’s that?
G
Don\'t touch me, I\'m too hot! Yes!
G
Qué pasó? Here I go!
G A
So dope! Y tu lo sabes!
G
No pare // Sigue sigue!
G
Did you see me? // Freaky freakit!
G A
What a way to begin the weekend
G A
Sonny, anything you want is free,
man!
G
And my dearly beloved
Dominican Republic,
I haven\'t forgotten you!
A
Gonna see this honey,
F#m
make a little money,
and one day, I\'ll hop Jet Blue!
G
But until that fateful day,
I\'m grateful
A
I got a destination
G
I\'m runnin\' to make it home
A
And home\'s what Vanessa\'s runnin\'
away from!
G
I\'m runnin\' to make it home
A
And home\'s what Vanessa\'s runnin\'
away from...

[Vanessa: Verse 4]
D
The neighborhood salon
A
is the place I am
D
working for the moment
G
As I cut their hair,
ladies talk and share
F#m G
Every day, who\'s doin\' who and why...
D A
The neighborhood salon doesn\'t pay
me what
D G
I wanna be making but I don\'t mind
G
As I sweep the curb I
can hear those turbo
F#m G
engines blazing a trail through the sky
[Outro]
G
I look up and think about
F#m
the years gone by
G A
But one day—I\'m walkin\' to JFK
Bm
and I\'m gonna fly!
A G
It won\'t be long now!
Bm A D
Any day...
