Eviva Espana (Listen to midi)

 

               Am

1. All the ladies fell for Rudolph Valentino,

                     G               F                        E

    he had a beano back in those balmy days.

                    Am

    He knew every time you meet an icy creature,

                     G                     F                  E

   you got to teach her hot-blooded latin ways.

            F                                                     E

    But even Rudolph would have felt the strain,

           B7                                             E - E7

    of making smooth advances in the rain.

 

         A                                                              E

Oh, this year I`m off to sunny Spain, eviva Espana,

                                                         E7        A

I`m taking the Costa Brava plane, eviva Espana.

                                                                            E

If you`d like to chat a matador, in some cool cabana,

                                                           E7             Am - E - d - E

and meet senoritas by the score, Espana por favor.

 

                    Am

2. Quite by chance to hot romance I found the answer,

                     G                F                   E

    flamenco dancers are far the finest bet.

                      Am

    There was one who whispered, "Whoo, hasta la vista",

                        G                   F                    E

    each time I kissed him behind the castanet.

           F                                         E

   He rattled his maracas close to me,

        B7                                             E - E7

    in no time I was trembling at the knee.  + CHORUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                      Am

3. When they first arrive, the girls are pink and pasty,

                        G            F                             E

    but, oh, so nasty, as soon as they grow brown.

                          Am

    I guess they know everybody will be queueing,

                      G              F                        E

    to do the wooing his girlfriend won`t allow

           F                                        E

    But still I think today`s a lucky day,

               B7                                                    E - E7

    that`s why I`ve learned the way to shout "Ole!"

 

    + CHORUS
