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                   G        D
My arms emptied and all my treasures los------t

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              G          D
Will I gain entrance or be denie-------d

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                G        D
And he is just a man after al------ l

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
