                             LINDA PALOMA
[Intro]
(G)   D7    C    G(pause)
At the mD7oment the music began, and you heard the guitaCr player starting sGing
You were D7filled with the beauty that ran, through what yCou were imaginGing
DCreaming of scenes from those sEmongs of love, I was the endless sD7ky
And you were my MCexican Gdove.
Now the D7music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fCainter each dGay
And you D7find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel Cslipping aGway
ThCough it's not the kind, of love you might hope to Emfind
If tears could release the D7heart, from the shadows pCreferred by the mGind
[Interlude]
(G)   D7    C    Gx2
Like a D7wind that comes up in the night, caressing your fCace while you slGeep
Love will D7fill your eyes with the sight, of a world you can't hCope to keGep
DCreaming on after that mEmoment's gone, the light in your lover's eD7yes
Disappears in the lCight of the dGawn, but the Gmorning brings, strength to your
Crestless wings, and some other B7lover sings to the sun's bright corEmona,
 (pause)                      D7       C        G(G)   D7    C  G  
I know all about these things, Linda Paloma.
Fly awD7ay...Linda PGaloma.G  Em  D7  G

[Intro]

D7 C G

At the moment the music began, and you heard the guitar player starting sing

D7 C G

You were filled with the beauty that ran, through what you were imagining

C Em D7

Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love, I was the endless sky

C G

And you were my Mexican dove.

D7 C G

Now the music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fainter each day

D7 C G

And you find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel slipping away

Though it's not the kind, of love you might hope to find

D7 C G

If tears could release the heart, from the shadows preferred by the mind

[Interlude]
