Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
It was a fiesta down in Mexico,
Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
And so I stopped a while to see the show;
G Cdim Am7 G Am7
I knew that frenesi meant “Please love me,”
G Am7 Cdim Am7 G
And I could say frenesi.
Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
A handsome cabellero caught my eye;
Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
I stood enchanted as he wandered by,
G Cdim Am7 G Am7
And never knowing that it came from me,
G Am7 Cdim Am7 G D C
I gently sighed “frenesi.”
Bridge:
B Am7 B
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine,
C D Am7 B D C
His lips just pleaded to be kissed;
B Am7 B
His eyes were soft as candleshine,
C Am7 D9 Am7 D7
So how was I to resist?
Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
And now without a heart to call my own,
Em7 Cdim Am7 D7
A greater happiness I've never known,
G Cdim Am7 G Am7
Because his kisses are for me alone
G Am7 Cdim Am7 G
Who wouldn't say “frenesi?”
