_ [D] He [Am] was nobly born and a Spanish bull's horn had left one scar on his [E] handsome face.
He stood like a prince and he had every sense.
He had grandly [G] walked into [Am] the place.
Though the girls [D] of Madrid tonight [A] were forbid for tomorrow, he must [E] fight once more.
Before he left the ball, he would dance with them all, cause he [G] was El [Am] Toro.

_ _ _ [Am] The day of the feast was just a light in the east [F] when he left Maria's [E] warm bed.
Her dark eyes said poor, but he walked through the door shaking cobwebs of dreams [Am] from his head.
And later that day as he knelt to pray, [G] he said, God grant me [E] this nothing more.
If it is the way and I must die today, let me die like a [Am] Toreador.
[E] The big Toro shook the [F] floor.
The band played the Toreador's theme.
[E] Alarmed by the sound, the bull paused to [F] drown as the Toreador's ray [E] struck down by the ground. _

_ _ _ The shouts of ole in the heat of the day rushed the [G] hot blood to his Spanish [E] heart.
And the crowd held his breath as he blurted with [F] death as the bullfighter's [Am] sword found his mark.
And trying to hide in his side, he [F] walked from the ring standing tall.
And [Am] the crowd gathered round as he fell to the ground.
A priest held his hand where he lay in the sand.
It was heard to say a brave bull died [F] today, but he died like [G] a [Am] Toreador. _ _
