The Charlie Daniels Band – El Toreador (Guitar Solo Tab)

       Am    G
He was nobly born

      C              Am
Had a Spanish bull's horn

        F           G            E7 E7
And not one scar on his handsome face

    Am          G
He stood like a prince

       C        Am
And he had ever since

       F              G        Am   Am
He had grandly walked into the place

           Dm          C
Though the girls of Madrid

F            E7
Tonight were forbid

    G           F               E7   E7
For tomorrow he must fight once more

       Am          G
Before he left the bar

         C               Am
He would dance with them all

      F          G    Am  Am
Cause he was El Toreador

    Am         G
The day of the feast

           C          Am
Was just a lie in the east

     F       G            E7 E7
When he left Maria's warm bed

    Am             G
Her dark eyes said more

       C                  Am
But he walked through the door

        F          G               Am Am
Shaking cobwebs of dreams from his head

    Dm         C
And later that day

   F           E7
As he knelt to pray

        G            F            E7 E7
He said God grant me this nothing more

   Am        G
If it is the way

      C        Am
And I must die today

       F          G    Am Am
Let me die like a Toreador

E7             E7
The Plaza del Toros

E7             E7
Shook from the roar

       F               F          F    F
As the band played the Toreador's theme

E7             E7
Alarmed by the sound

E7                E7
The bull paws the ground

       F        F          F   F
As the Toreador enters the ring

E7           E7
Up and down, round and round

       E7   E7
On and on, all alone

    Am         G
The shouts of ole

       C           Am
In the heat of the day

           F            G           E7  E7
Rushed the hot blood to his Spanish heart

        Am               G
And the crowd held their breath

      C            Am
As he flirted with death

        F              G                Am Am
And the bull fighter's sword found it's mark

    Dm        C
And trying to hide

    F            E7
The wound in his side

   G               F             E7 E7
He walked from the ring standing tall

      Am             G
And a crowd gathered round

      C           Am
As he fell to the ground

  Am              G
A priest held his hand

         C          Am
Where he lay in the sand

       Am           G
And he was heard to say

        C         Am
A brave bull died today

       F   F          G  G     Am Am Am Am
But he died like a Toreador
