G D
Oh mama there's this Spanish dancer
C D
Whose steps I follow when he comes near
G D
The red dress of temptation
C D
Over a long black slip of fear
Em C
Will I fall beneath the shadow
Em
Of some broken cross
C D
Still like that Spanish dancer
G D C
I throw my roses down for him
D
Across these beds of darkness
G D C
He opens his arms and gathers them in
G D
Oh mama the bridges were burning
C D
Over a river black and cold
G D C
But I walked when love commanded me
D
Up to the edges of his soul
Em C Em
But I'm still frightened of that dark divide
C D
Still like that Spanish dancer
G D C
I throw my roses down for him
D
Across these beds of darkness
G D C
He opens his arms and gathers them in
G D
Oh mama when you were a young girl
C D
Did you ever love a man so much
G D
As if he were some fantastic jewel
C D
That you should never be worthy of
Em C Em
But all those illusions strip and fall
C D
Still like that Spanish dancer
G D C
I throw my roses down for him
D
Across the beds of darkness
G D C
He opens his arms and gathers them in
D G
Just like that Spanish dancer I
C D G
Just like that Spanish dancer I
C D G
Just like that Spanish dancer I
C
Throw my roses down for him
