[Eb]
[Db] [Ab]
Oh mama, [Eb] there's a Spanish [Db] dancer
Steps I [Ab] follow when he comes near
The red dress [Eb] of temptation
[Db] Over a [Ab] long black sip of [Eb] tea
[Fm] Will I fall beneath [Db] the shadow of some broken [Fm] cross
My arms emptied and all [Db] my [Ab] treasures [Eb] lost
[Db] Still like [Eb] that Spanish dancer [Ab] I
Throw my roses down [Db] for him
Across [Eb] these beds of darkness he
[Ab] Opens his arms [Eb] and gathers [Db] them in
[Ab] Oh mama, the [Eb] bridges were burning
[Db] Over a river [Ab] black and cold
But I walked when love [Eb] commanded me
[Db] Up to the edges [Ab] of his soul
[Fm] I'm still [Db] frightened of the dark [Fm] divide
Will I gain [Db] entrance or be [Ab] denied
[Eb] [Db] Still like that [Eb] Spanish dancer [Ab] I
Throw my roses down [Db] for him
Across [Ab] these beds of [Eb] darkness [Ab] he
Opens his arms [Db] and gathers them in
[Fm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab] Oh mama, when you were a [Eb] young [Db] girl
Did you ever love [Ab] a man so much
As if he were some fantastic [Eb] tool [Db] that
You should never [Ab] be worthy [Fm] of
But all those [Db] illusions trip and [Fm] fall
He is [Db] just a man after [Ab] all
[Eb] [Db] Just like [Eb] that Spanish dancer [Ab] I
Throw my [Eb] roses down [Db] for him
Across [Eb] these beds of darkness [Ab] he
Opens his arms and gathers [Db] them in
Just like [Eb] that Spanish dancer [Ab] I
Throw my roses down [Db] for him
Across [Eb] these beds of darkness [Ab] he
Opens his arms and gathers [Db] them in
Just like that [Eb] Spanish dancer [Ab] I
[Db] Just like that [Eb] Spanish dancer [Ab] I
[Eb] [Db] Just like [Eb] that Spanish dancer I
[Ab] Just
[Db] like [Eb] that Spanish dancer [Ab] I
