Did You Hear the Spanish Lady

 

                                        

Did you hear the Spanish Lady

A                                    E                       

She had a tale to tell about Christopher Columbus

B7                                      

Who sailed around the world 

E                                                   A A                           

She said that she had known him I asked her how she could

 

F#m                                                      E

*She said this world is full of many strange things

F#m                                                                              E

She took my hand and smiled with the eyes of a thousand lives

                              B7

and somehow I understood

 

E                                             

She said that she’d been a dancer

A                                           E                                           

and she’d worked on many farms Her husband had been a matador

                                        B7

who unfortunately came to harm

E                                                         A                                    

She said that she’d kissed Franco when I asked her how she could

 

*

A                    E                       F#m             C#m

Her stories went on forever her sharp black eyes explained

F#m                      C#m

that four hundred years ago

               D                       D7 

She was married to the King of Spain

 

 

 

 

E                                         

My mouth it dropped right open

A                                              E                    

but something said that she was telling the truth

                                                                           B77

She said that Picasso had painted her whenever he could

E                                                                          A A

She said that she had loved him when I asked her how she could

 

*

E                                            

She put her hand in her pocket

A                       E                

She pulled out a gold Doubloon

                                                                           B7

She said it came from a Galleon that had sailed about the moon

E                                                              A 

It was a mermaids magic and when I asked her how she could
