[Verse]
DThe wine beneath the bed,
DThe things we've done and said
DAnd all the memories that come glancing back to Gme
In my Dloneliness
DYou're standing in the breach
DBeyond that stretch, but our love will reach
DUnconsciousness that find me sometimes Gwondering
Where you're Dat.
Hmm, Atake me back again,
ATake me back one more time, Spanish Drose.
[Instrumental]
D   G    D
[Verse 2]
DThe way you pulled the gate
DBehind you when you said, "It ain't too late,
CDome on, let's have a baGll
And swing the town toDnight."
DAnd hoping you'd come through
DAnd many others, too,
DAnd all the friends we used to have in dGays gone by,
DI'm wondering
If you'll tAake me back again,
Take me back one more time, SpaniDsh rose.
[Verse 3]
And Dwhen the lights went out
And nDo one was abandoning the country in full blooGm,
In the rDoom we danced
ADnd many hearts were torn
DAnd when the word went around that everything was wrong
And couldn't be put rigGht
IDt tore me up, {speak} tore me up.
 Atake me back again,
TaAke me back one more time, SpaniCsh rose.
[Verse]
DThe way you held a note
DThe trembling in your throat,
DThat just beginning of your wondrous Gsmile.D  
DThe rising of the water
DThe winter winds of days gone by.
DI often ask myself and wonder Gwhy
DIt's gone.
Mmm taAke me back again,
Take me baAck one more time, SpanDish Rose.
DIn slumber you did sleep,
DThe window I did creep
DAnd touch your raven hair and sing that Gsong
DAgain to you.
DYou did not even wince,
DYou thought I was the Prince
DTo come and take you from your miGsery
DAnd lonely castle walls.
AAh, take me back again,
ATake me back one more time, SpaniDsh rose.

[Verse]

The wine beneath the bed,

The things we've done and said

D G

And all the memories that come glancing back to me

In my loneliness

You're standing in the breach

Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach

D G

Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering

Where you're at.

Hmm, take me back again,

A D

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

[Instrumental]

D G D

[Verse 2]

The way you pulled the gate

Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,

D G

Come on, let's have a ball

And swing the town tonight."

And hoping you'd come through

And many others, too,

D G

And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,

I'm wondering

If you'll take me back again,

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

[Verse 3]

And when the lights went out

D G

And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,

In the room we danced

And many hearts were torn

And when the word went around that everything was wrong

And couldn't be put right

It tore me up, {speak} tore me up.

take me back again,

A C

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

[Verse]

The way you held a note

The trembling in your throat,

D G D

That just beginning of your wondrous smile.

The rising of the water

The winter winds of days gone by.

D G

I often ask myself and wonder why

It's gone.

Mmm take me back again,

A D

Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose.

In slumber you did sleep,

The window I did creep

D G

And touch your raven hair and sing that song

Again to you.

You did not even wince,

You thought I was the Prince

To come and take you from your misery

And lonely castle walls.

Ah, take me back again,

Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
