[Ab] [Bbm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] When I was young and I was in my [Db] day, [Ab]
[Bb] Sure I'd [Bbm] see a white woman's heart that [Eb] was a way.
[Ab] And I'd sing into the dawn, [Bbm]
Saw it blaze into the morning, [Db] Long before I [Eb] was the man you see [Ab] today.
I was born beneath the stars that promised [Db] all,
[Ab] [Bbm] I could live my life without [Eb] Cassandra's call.
But [Ab] the wheel of fortune took me, From [Bbm] the highest point she shook me, [Db] By the bottle, by [Eb] the bottle [Ab] I should fall.
[Cm] [Fm] And [Bb] there in the mirror [Eb]
on the [Ab] wall, I [Bbm] see the dreamest lady, [Eb] [Fm]
From the [Bbm] contender [Eb] to [Ab] the brawl.
[Gb] The ring arose, the [Ebm] matador [Eb] reigned.
[Ab]
[Db]
[Ab] [Bbm] [Eb]
And [Ab] when I die, I'll die drunk down [Db] on the street, [Fm] He [Bb] will [Bbm] count me out to ten clear [Eb] to feed.
[Ab] Wrap the starry flower around me, [Bbm] Let the piper's air resound me, [Db] There I rest until [Eb] the lord of love [Ab] I meet.
And [Cm]
[Fm] there in [Bbm] the mirror [Eb] on the [Ab] wall, I [Bbm] see the dreamest lady, [Eb] [Fm] From the [Db] contender [Eb] to [Ab] the brawl.
[Gb] The ring arose, the [Ebm] matador reigned.
[Fm] And there in [Bbm] the [Eb] mirror on [Ab] the wall,
I [Bbm] see the dreamest lady, [Eb] [Fm]
From the [Bbm] contender [Eb] to [Ab] the brawl.
[Gb] The ring arose, the [Ebm] matador [Eb] reigned.
[Ab]
[Db]
[Ab] [Bbm] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Bbm]
[Db] There I rest until [Eb] the lord of love I [Ab] meet.
