[Verse 1]
          E                      E7
There's a legend of a famous matador

F                    E
 Who went to meet El Toro

          E                             E7
Though he fought as he had never done before

F                      E
 He could not beat, El Toro
[Chorus]
F                 G                       E
 The bull El Toro, brought him defeat and pain

F                  G                 E
 And to his sorrow, the matador knew shame
[Verse 2]
          E                              E7
They said time would never heal the many scars

F                         E
 Brought by the great, El Toro

        E                                  E7
And the bitterness that burned deep in his heart

F                       E
 Caused him to hate, El Toro
[Chorus]
F                 G                       E
 The bull El Toro, brought him defeat and pain

F                  G                 E
 And to his sorrow, the matador knew shame
[Bridge]
Am                   G
  So one night, when no-one was in sight

F                                E
 The matador, went to settle the score

       Am               G
In the lonely fields, beneath the pale moonlight

   F                                     [ E7 ]
He sought the bull, and they fought once more

[Verse 4]
          E                               E7
When they found the matador, they saw him dying

F                 E
 He'd never see tomorrow

         E                                  E7
Now they say that on the spot where he was lying

F                         E
 Still walks the proud El Toro
[Outro]
F                 G                       E
 The bull El Toro, brought him defeat and pain

F                  G                | E | % | % | E
 And to his sorrow, the matador knew shame
