[A] This is a tune by Patty Scalfa that is based on the movie The Last Contessa.
So if you've seen The Last Contessa with, I think it's Ava Gardner and Humphrey Bogart,
you'll know what she's talking about in this.
Oh mama, [B] there's a Spanish [E] dancer
[D] Her steps I follow [E] when he comes near
[A] The red [E] dress of temptation
[D]
[E] Overlong black slip of [F#] fear
Lay [Bm] beneath the shadow of some [F#] broken cross
[D] My heart's empty and all my [A] touch is [E] lost
[D]
Still [A] the Spanish [E] dancer [A] I
Throw my roses down [D] for him
And [B] across the space [E] of darkness [A] he
Opens his [D] arms and gathers them in
[A]
Oh mama, [B] the bridges were [Em] [D] burning
Over rivers [B] black and cold
[A] But I walk with [E] love commanded [D] me
To the [E] edges of his soul
[F#] But I'm [D] still frightened of that dark [F#m] divide
[D] Like an entrance I'll be [A]
[B] denied
[D]
Still [E] like that Spanish dancer [A] I
Throw my roses down [D] for him
And [E] across the space of darkness [A] he
Opens his arms [D] and gathers them in
[Gm]
[A] Oh mama, [B] when you were a young [D] girl
Did you ever [E] love a man [B] so [A] much
As if he were some [B]
fantastic jewel
[Em] That [D] you could never be [B] worthy [E] [F#m] of
But [D] all my illusions they slip [F#m] and fall
Cause he [D] is just a man after [A]
all
[E] [B] [D]
Still [E] like that Spanish dancer [A] I
Throw my roses [Em] down [D] for him
[A] And across the [E] space of darkness [Em]
[A] he
Opens his arms [D] and gathers them in
Still [B] like that Spanish [G] [A] dancer I
Still [D] [E] like that Spanish [A] dancer I
[C] Thanks a lot,
