[Verse]
D
The wine beneath the bed,
D
The things we've done and said
D G
And all the memories that come glancing back to me
D
In my loneliness
D
You're standing in the breach
D
Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach
D G
Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering
D
Where you're at.
A
Hmm, take me back again,
A D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Instrumental]
D G D
[Verse 2]
D
The way you pulled the gate
D
Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,
D G
Come on, let's have a ball
D
And swing the town tonight."
D
And hoping you'd come through
D
And many others, too,
D G
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,
D
I'm wondering
A
If you'll take me back again,
D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Verse 3]
D
And when the lights went out
D G
And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,
D
In the room we danced
D
And many hearts were torn
D
And when the word went around that everything was wrong
G
And couldn't be put right
D
It tore me up, {speak} tore me up.
A
take me back again,
A C
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Verse]
D
The way you held a note
D
The trembling in your throat,
D G D
That just beginning of your wondrous smile.
D
The rising of the water
D
The winter winds of days gone by.
D G
I often ask myself and wonder why
D
It's gone.
A
Mmm take me back again,
A D
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose.
D
In slumber you did sleep,
D
The window I did creep
D G
And touch your raven hair and sing that song
D
Again to you.
D
You did not even wince,
D
You thought I was the Prince
D G
To come and take you from your misery
D
And lonely castle walls.
A
Ah, take me back again,
A D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
G D G D
[Outro]
A
Ah ah, ah ah,
D
Hmm, mm, ho
Da da da di da da da ...
