Bb F Gm Dm
On some dank dusty morning I chanced to meet a Spaniard
C F Bb A
With eyes so dark and lips so red and words so cool
A Bb A
He came into my head
Bb F Gm Dm
He led me to a tavern and he gave to me his silver cup
C Bb E A
With leather boots and blood-red wine and hair so fine
Bb A
Held his hands for me, yeah
F G Bb Dm C
I found myself dancing with a rose between my teeth
C G B f D C
And the feel of frills around my ankles like a dead man's flies
F G Bb Dm C
Red wine drained quickly in the heat of that sensual night
G Bm F Dm C
And the cacti kissed together on the meseta
F G
Old man, you cheered me
Bb Dm C
As I cavorted around the tables
G Bm F D C F
While his fingers filed the guitar in the frenzied mood
Em Bb F
As my dance gained momentum
Gm Dm
My aching thighs began to wane
C
But you were strong, you carried on
Bb
So I kicked my heels
A Bb A F
And I reeled around the room
F G
I flicked my skirts for you
Dm Bb Dm C
I even tossed the rose right next to you
G B f Dm C
I even let my hair down and covered you with my mantilla
F G
you called me beautiful
Bb Dm C
You see I don't forget so easily
G
Now I shred my castanets to a pulp
Bm F G Am
And I try to remember you
Bb a Bb a Bb A
Bb F Gm Dm
But the day is dawning and candle wax drips to an end
C Bb
Tables cleared, time to move, Senor, please
A Bb A
Maana es un nuevo da Morning is a new day
Bb Dm a Bb Am A Bb a Bb A Bb Am Dm Am bb a Bb A
