Spaniard by Lesley Rae Dowling
BbOn some dank dusty mForning I cGmhanced to meet a SDmpaniard
With eyCes so dark and lips so red and words so BbcoolA  
AHe came into Bbmy hAead
BbHe led me to a tFavern and he gGmave to me his sDmilver cup
With Cleather boots and blood-red wine and Bbhair so fineA  
Held his Bbhands for me, Ayeah
FI found myself dGancing with a Bbrose between my tDmeethC  
CAnd the fGeel of frills around my aBMnkles like a dFead man's DmfliesC  
FRed wine drained qGuickly in the hBbeat of that sDmensual nightC  
And the cGacti kissed tBmogether on the meFsetaDm  C  
FOld man, you cGheered me
As I cBbavorted around the tDmablesC  
GWhile his fingers filed the Bmguitar in the fFrenzied DmooCdF  
EAs my Bbdance gained Fmomentum
My aGmching thighs bDmegan to wane
But yCou were strong, you carried on
So I kBbicked my heels
And I A7reeled aroBbund the roAomF  
FI flicked my skirts for yGou
I even Bbtossed the rose right Dmnext to Cyou
GI even let my hair down and coBmvered you with my maFntillaDm  C  
Fyou called me beGautiful
You see I Bbdon't forget so eDmasilyC  
Now I shGred my castanets to a Bmpulp
And I try to Fremember yGouA  
But the Bbday is Fdawning and cGmandle wax drips to an eDmnd
CTables cleared, time to move, Senor, Bbplease
AMaana es Bbun nuevo Ada [Morning is a new day]

Spaniard by Lesley Rae Dowling

Bb F Gm Dm

On some dank dusty morning I chanced to meet a Spaniard

C 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 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 BM F Dm 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

E Bb F

As my dance gained momentum

Gm Dm

My aching thighs began to wane

But you were strong, you carried on

So I kicked my heels

A7 Bb A F

And I reeled around the room

F G

I flicked my skirts for you

Bb Dm C

I even tossed the rose right next to you

G Bm 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 Bm

Now I shred my castanets to a pulp

F G A

And I try to remember you

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 Bb Bb A
