 Spanish is the lovin' tongue

G        Em         Am        D7/F#
 Soft as springtime, light as spray

G            Bm     C              Am
 There was a girl I learned it from

G       Em     D7/F# G
 Living down Sonora  way

    Em      D7/F#      C     G
Now I don't look much like a lover

Em         Am                 D7/F#
 Yet I say  her love words over

G        Bm             C       Am
 Late at night when I'm all alone

 "Mi amor, mi co__razon"
[Verse 2]
G           Bm          C         Am
 There were nights when I would ride

G          Em     Am      D7/F#
 She would listen  for my spurs

G           Bm       C       Am
 Fling that big door open wide

G            Em       D7/F#   G
 Raise those laughing eyes of hers

    Em        D7/F#       C      G
And how those hours would get to flyin'

Em            Am            D7/F#
 Pretty soon,  I'd hear her cryin'

G              Bm       C       Am
 "Please don't leave me all alone

G    Em      D7/F# G
 Mi amor, mi co__razon"
[Verse 3]

 Then one time I had to fly

G        Em           Am        D7/F#
 I got into a foolish  gamblin' fight

G         Bm     C           Am
 I had to say  a swift goodbye

G        Em     D7/F#   G
 In that black  unlucky night

    Em        D7/F#      C          G
And traveling north, her words kept ringing

Em              Am                 D7/F#
 And every word   I could hear her singing

G              Bm       C       Am
 "Please don't leave me all alone

G    Em      D7/F# G
 Mi amor, mi cor__azon"
[Verse 4]
G     Bm                                C     Am
 Well, I ain't never seen her since that night

G        Em        Am         D7/F#
 I can't cross the line no more

G        Bm           C         Am
 She was Mexican, and I was White

G        Em    D7/F#        G
 Like as not,   it's better so

    Em       D7/F#   C        G
And yet I've always   sort of missed her

Em                       Am      D7/F#
 Since that night, first night I kissed her

G           Bm           C         Am
 I left her heart, but I lost my own

G   Em     D7/F# G
 Adios, mi cor__azon"
