[Verse 1]
   Gm                    D7                
I once met a man with a sense of adventure 
           Gm                D7
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
        Gm                      D7             
He said,  "Let's make love on a mountain top  
Gm                   D7
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
           Gm          D7        Gm        D7
I said "In these shoes?  I don't think so.
      Gm      D7             Gm
I said "Honey,   let's do it here."


[Verse 2]
       Gm                  D7           
So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
Gm                    D7                  Gm     D7 
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
                    Gm                     D7           
He said "I've got a powerful horse outside
Gm                      D7
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
  Gm                         D7                         Gm      D7
I know a little place we can get there for the break of day."
                  Gm    D7           Gm    D7
I said, "In these shoes?   No way, Jose"     
        Gm           D7 
I said "Honey, let's stay right here."

[Refrain]
Gm          D7      Gm         D7                
No le gusta caminar.  No puede montar a caballo 
Gm               D7           Gm         D7
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo.


[Verse 3]
Gm              D7          Gm            D7 
  Then I met an Englishman, Oh, he said
Gm                    D7            Gm                 D7
Won't you walk up and down my spine,  it makes me feel strangely alive."
           Gm           D7                 Gm    D7 
I said "In these shoes?   I doubt you'd survive.    
      Gm       D7      N.C.
I said "Honey,   let's do it."
