[Verse]
Em                Bm
   The owl of Zaragoza

                    Am
Is sitting by my window

          G   B
Daring me out

Em                       Bm
   As I sit there by my piano

                      Am
I let spiders take my hands

                 G     B
Daring the words to entwine

Em                        Bm
   Why's there so much loving?

                      Am
Why’s there so much trouble?

                        G   B
The rhetorical snake replies

Em                                Bm7
    It's just the song sung for the river

              Am
So don't be scared, don’t be shy

           G     B
Don't even ask why

And the fire down below

                 C
One more for the night

                        G
Where the purple lilacs grow

                 D
One more for the dead

One more for the road

Em                          Bm
   On one hand, is tattooed joy

                            Am
On one hand, is tattooed strife

              G                  B
And I've been boxing half of my life

Em                           Bm
   What's the difference, Duran?
What's the difference?
            Am
Between the No Mas

                G      B
And the championship high?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Em Am                Am
       So high, I look down

Am D                    Em
     The ground is like speckles

Em Am                Am
     The owl and my mind

Am D                   Em Em Am     Am
     Have taken to the air-i-ai-aiaiair

Am D                      Em
     The witching time arrives

Em Am            Am
     Band by my side

Am D                   Em
     We step into the lights
[Chorus]

One more for thе show

                 D
One more for the sky

        B             Em
And the fire down below

                 C
One more for the night

                        G
Where the purple lilacs grow

                 D
One more for the dead

 B                   Em
One more for the road
Em G C Em Am E F#m B [calm Verse]
      Em                  G
In my dream the was a mechanical bull

                    C
I watched it on a screen

                            Em
And it was blocking me from entering my life

        Am                                G
In the next scene, there was a rain of arrows

                        F#m
And the matador and the bull

                           B
Both got drenched in those fine diagonal lines

         Em
I was director, I was matador

        G
And the bull was my name

       C
When I woke, I was drenched

         Em
From the storm where I came

       Am                    G
As the sweat on my body got cold

                       F#m
I started shivering and shivering

              B
And shivering and shivering

Em Em Am     Am Am D
And I-ia-ia-ia-ia

                       Em
I know where that one goes

Em Am                      Am
    I know where that one flies

Am D                           Em
    And I'II follow it tonight
[Chorus]
                  C
One morе for this life

                 G
One more for thе show

                 D
One more for the sky

        B             Em
And the fire down below

                 C
One more for the night

                        G
Where the purple lilacs grow

                 D
One more for the dead

 B                   Em
One more for the road

                 C
One more for the eyes

                        G
Of the spirits in this room

                  D
One more for the future

       B             Em
That's coming for us soon

                  C
One more for the fight

                      G
And the never-ending blows

                   D
One more for your love

  B              Em
One more for the road
