[Verse 1]

Dm                   A
Pedro the bull was a killer

A7                     Dm
King of the bullfight arena

     Gm          C               F         Bb
He'd wipe up the floor with each brave matador

          E7                   A
Then have matador stew for his dinner

{Bridge 1}

   Gm                         A
He heard the crowd shouting; Olé! (Olé!)

    Gm                     | A A7 | D A |
But he met his master that day.

{Break} | A7 | D | A | [Chorus]

    D                 A
The bullfighter was a lady

    A7                        D
And it was true love at first sight

    D                        G         Em
Her red cape was waving, but Pedro was shaving

   A         A7           [ Dm ]
He wanted to date her that night

[Verse 2]

Dm                    A
Pedro the bull he was smitten

A                           Dm
First time the love bug had bitten

   Gm         C           F          Bb
He once was a mad bull, a wild and a bad bull

    E7                   A
But now he was mild as a kitten

{Bridge 2}

    Gm                      A
The people were starting to hiss

    Gm                  | A A7 | D A |
But Pedro just wanted to kiss

[Chorus]

    D                 A
The bullfighter was a lady

    A7                     D
And Pedro he liked what he saw

   D                     G           Em
He floated on air with a rose in his hair

   A         A7                   Dm
As he waltzed with that sweet matador

{Bridge 3}

    A                       A
His fate was a bad one, his tale/tail is a sad one

     A             A6 A6         [ Dm ]
It's hanging right o- ver ... her door
