Verse 1
[D]I met her in Old Mexico
[G]She was laughing, [A]sad and young
[D]In a smoky room where no one could [A]see
[D]Her favorite poets all agreed
[G]Spanish is the [A][G]loving [D]tongue
[D]But she never spoke [Em][A]Spanish to [D]me
[D]She was born in Monterrey
[G]and all the Christmas [A]songs were sung
[D]The padre knew what she'd grow up to [A]be
[D]Saints and sinners all agree:
[G]Spanish is the [A][G]loving [D]tongue
[D]But she never spoke [Em][A]Spanish to [D]me
Bridge
[G]Like a lion screaming in the [D][Bm]jungle-o
[G]She'd never fool with [A]what she couldn't [D]see[D7]
[G]She talked to all the shadows in her [D][Bm]bungalow
[D]But she never spoke [Em][A]Spanish to [D]me
[D]She said, "If you're from Texas, son
[G]Where're your boots and [A]where's your gun?"
[D]I said, "I got guns no one can [A]see"
[D]We laughed at that and both agreed:
[G]Spanish is the [A][G]loving [D]tongue
[D]But she never spoke [Em][A]Spanish to [D]me
