Matador Capo I
G Em
Take me to the Matador / he will know just what it's for
G Em
he will help me with my life / he will open every door
Am G
when the bull is in the ring / you need all the help you can
Am G
and the Mariachis sing / with the lonely mandoline
Am G
See those people shout out loud / give me more and give me more
Am G
and I'm a-thinking to myself / take me to the Matador
G Em
Take me to the Matador / he will fill and ease my soul
G Em
he will give me confidence / when I think I've lost control
Am G
he will help me with my muse / in the age of win and lose
Am G
with the ancient cup and sword/ and a hundred Spanish lords
Am G
see one thousand violins / golden trumpets soar on high
Am G
Waves and waves of joyful hymns / silver sonnets reach the sky
Am G
fight the battles and the blues / wars of love and wars of art
Am G
tonight the cape is what I choose / Goya's in my Spanish heart
G Em

Am G
Dadabdabdabdabdabdabda dadabdabdabdabdabdabda
Am G
He will help me with my love / dance the dance that lovers do
Am G
rumba with the velvet glove / 'neath the Barcelona moon
Am G
See one thousand violins / golden trumpets soar on high
Am G
waves and waves of joyful hymns / silver sonnets reach the sky
