_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] In a small village near [Am] La Paz, Mexico, _ _ _ _
lived a boy _ [G] _ not so many years [Am] ago. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ And hunger was [C] his enemy every day,
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] but he never [C] begged.
_ The boy [A] called Jose. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] And every day he worked in the [Am] fields,
and he worked well. _ _
_ And when the night [G] came,
this boy [Am] slept where he fell. _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ And the earth [C] _ was the only [Dm] mother he ever knew,
some people say.
_ [Bb] _ _ And she [C] gave him strength,
[A] and he grew to be a man called _ [Bb] Jose. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] And one Sunday afternoon,
this [A] young man saw his first bull fight.
_ _ _ And his [G] blood ran hot,
[Am] _ and he couldn't sleep that night.
_ [Dm] _ _ And as [C] the morning came,
_ [Dm] he thought he heard his mother say,
_ [Bb] Now you know why [C] you were born,
[A] _ Jose. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ And he lived [Em] for [G] one thing,
_ [Am] _ and nothing more. _ _
_ _ [A] He had to [G] be the very best [Am] matador. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ And when he [C] killed his first bull [Dm] one bright Sunday, _ _
you could [Bb] hear Olay's a [C] hundred miles [A] for Jose. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ And as [Ab] his fame grew,
[Bbm] his fortune grew too. _ _ _
_ _ But he gave much [Ab] of his fortune away,
[Bbm] _ _ because he knew _
[Ebm] that _ _ [Db] others fight his old enemy [Ebm] hunger every day. _ _
And so [B] many times he [Db] heard, _
God [Bb] bless you, Jose. _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ And [Ab] the years passed,
[Bbm] and Jose said,
_ I'll fight brave bulls no more.
[Ab] _ The younger [Bbm] men,
_ they're better suited for
[Ebm] the Sunday game [Db] with his blood and his [Ebm] death for pay. _ _ _ _
_ [B] You'll soon forget [Db] the matador, [Bb] Jose. _ _ _ _ _ _

[Bm] _ And the next [A] morning we found him [Bm] lying on the ground. _ _ _ _
_ He [A] didn't move.
_ _ [Bm]
He didn't make a sound.
_ _ [Em] _
And yet we [D] heard from somewhere someone [Em]
say, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Jose. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
