Chords

[Verse]
D
The wine beneath the bed,

D
The things we've done and said

D                                               G
And all the memories that come glancing back to me

      D
In my loneliness

D
You're standing in the breach

D
Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach

D                                      G
Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering

             D
Where you're at.

     A
Hmm, take me back again,

A                                   D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Instrumental] D G D [Verse 2]
D
The way you pulled the gate

D
Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,

 D                      G
Come on, let's have a ball

                     D
And swing the town tonight."

D
And hoping you'd come through

D
And many others, too,

D                                       G
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,

D
I'm wondering

           A
If you'll take me back again,

                                 D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Verse 3]
    D
And when the lights went out

     D                                            G
And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,

        D
In the room we danced

 D
And many hearts were torn

D
And when the word went around that everything was wrong

                       G
And couldn't be put right

 D
It tore me up, {speak} tore me up.

 A
 take me back again,

  A                              C
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
[Verse]
D
The way you held a note

D
The trembling in your throat,

D                                    G      D
That just beginning of your wondrous smile.

D
The rising of the water

D
The winter winds of days gone by.

D                             G
I often ask myself and wonder why

D
It's gone.

      A
Mmm take me back again,

          A                     D
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose.

D
In slumber you did sleep,

D
The window I did creep

D                                      G
And touch your raven hair and sing that song

D
Again to you.

D
You did not even wince,

D
You thought I was the Prince

D                                G
To come and take you from your misery

D
And lonely castle walls.

 A
Ah, take me back again,

A                                D
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
G D G D [Outro]
A
Ah ah, ah ah,

D
Hmm, mm, ho
Da da da di da da da ...
