[Verse]
C Em F C
Spanish is the loving tongue
C Em F G
Soft as music, light as spray
C Em F C/G
It was a girl I learned it from
C Em F G C
Living down Sonora way
C Em F C/G
Well, I don't look much like a lover
C/G Em F G
Still I hear her love words over
C Em F C/G
Mostly when I'm all alone
F C/G G F/G C
Mi amor, mi cora--zon
[Interlude]
| C | Em | F F/G | C |
[Verse]
C Em F C/G
On the night that I would ride
C Em F G
She would listen for my spurs
C Em F C/G
Throw that big door open wide
C/G Em G F/G C
Raise those laughing eyes of hers
C Em F C/G
Oh, how night would go a-flyin’
C Em F G
All too soon I hear her sighin’
C Em F C/G
In her sweet and quiet tone
F C/G G F/G C
Mi amor, mi cora--zon
[Interlude]
| C | Em | F F/G | C |
[Verse]
C Em F C/G
Haven't seen her since that night
C Em F G
I can't cross the line you know
C Em F C/G
They want me for a gamblin' fight
C/G Em G F/G C
Like as not it's better so
C Em F C
Still I always kind of missed her
C Em F G
Since that last sad night I kissed her
C Em F C/G
Left her heart, I broke my own
F C/G G F/G C
Adios, mi cora--zon
