Hernando’s Hideaway      (Listen to midi)

 

         E

1. I know a dark secluded place,

        Am

    a place where no one knows your face,

         E

    a glass of wine, a fast embrace,

          Am            E                   Am   E-Am

    it's called Hernando's Hideaway,   olé !

 

     E

2. All you'll see are silhouettes,

          Am

    and all you'll hear are castanets,

           E

    and no one cares how late it gets,

         Am       E                   Am   E-Am

    not at Hernando's Hideaway,  olé !
