Spanish Is The Loving Tongue

Liam Clancy


Tom: G

[INTRO:] G   C    G  Bm  D   G

[VERSE 1:]
               C               G
Spanish is the loving tongue
              D                G
Soft as music light as spray
             C                 G
Was a girl I learned it from
              D    G
Living down Sonora way


[VERSE 2:]
        Bm   C           G
I don't seem much like a lover
        Bm       C          D      G
Still I hear her soft voice over
                   C      G
Even when I'm all alone
           D   G   
Mi amor mi corazon


[INTERLUDE:] G   C    G  Bm  D   G


[VERSE 3:]
                   C              G
On the nights when I would ride
                 D              G
She would listen for my spurs
                   C            G
Throw the big door open wide
                     D       G
Flash those laughing eyes of hers


[VERSE 4:]
            Bm          C    G
And how the hours would be a-flying
        Bm       C        D         G
All too soon I'd hear her sighing
               C            G
In that little sorry tone
           D   G   
Mi amor mi corazon


[INTERLUDE:] G   C    G  Bm  D   G


[VERSE 5:]
                   C                 G
I haven't seen her since that night
                  D                G
I can't cross the line, you know
            C               G
Wanted in a gambling fight
                 D      G
Like as not it's better so


[VERSE 6:]
          Bm    C            G
Still sometimes I've kind of missed her
           Bm       C       D            G
Since that last sad night I kissed her
                  C             G
Won her heart and lost my own
         D   G   
Adios mi corazon
