Chords for Joe Ely -- She Never Spoke Spanish To Me (Live 1986)

_ _ _ _ I just want to play you some songs here.
_ _ [D] _ I'm going to go down south.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The letter [A] in old Mexico
_ [G] _ She was [A] laughing and saying
_ This one you would know
The _ _ _ baby _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
poets all agree
[G] Spanish is a loving tongue
But she never _ spoke Spanish [A] _ to [D] me _
She _ _ _ _ _ was born in Monterey
_ [G] _
All the Christmas [E] songs were sung
[D] Padre knew what she'd grow up to [A] be
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Saints and sinners all agreed
_ [G]
Spanish [E] is a loving [D] tongue
_ But she never _ [E] spoke _ Spanish [D] to me _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
Like a lion screaming _ [D] in the _ jungle
[Bm] _ _ She _ never [A] fooled with what she [D] couldn't see
_ She _ _ _ spoke to all the shadows _ [A] in her _ bones
[Bm] But _ [D] she never _ [E] spoke Spanish _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She said if you're from Texas
_ [G] _
Where's your boots [A] and where's your gun
I smile and say I got guns no one can see
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
We laughed at that and we both agreed
_ [G]
Spanish [E] is a [D] loving tongue
_ But she never _ [E] spoke _ Spanish [D] to me _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The letter in old Mexico
[G] _
_ She was laughing and saying
In [D] a smoky room that no one could [A] see
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ [A] The baby poets all agreed
[G] Spanish is a loving [D] tongue
But she never spoke [E] _
Spanish [D] to me
She _ _ _ _ _ never _ [E] spoke _ Spanish to [D] me
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
