Chords for Tom Paxton - Spanish Is the Loving Tongue (1968)

_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Spanish _ is the [D] lovin' _ _ _ tongue, _ soft as music, [E] light as home.
_ [A] T'was a girl [D] I learned it _ from, [A] _ _ _ livin' down [E] Sonora [A] way. _ _ _
I [E] don't look [D] much like [A] a lover, _ _ still I say her love [E] words over. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ Often _ [D] when I'm all [F] _ _ _ _
_ alone, [A] _ mi amor, _ [E] _ _ mi corazón. _ _
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ nights when she [D] knew that I'd _ ride, [A] _ _ she would listen _
[E] for my spurts.
_ [A] _
Throw that big [D] door open _ _ _ [A] wide, raise those laughin' [E] _ eyes [A] of hers. _
_ How [E] my _ [D] heart would not [A] stop beatin' _ _ _ when I'd hear her tender [E] _ _
greetin',
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
whispered _ [D] soft for [F] me _ _ _ alone.
_ [A] _ _
Mi amor, [E] _ _ mi corazón,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ the moonlight _ on [D] the patio. _
_ _ _ [A] _ Old Senora _ [E] _ nodding near, _ _
[A] _ mi Antoana _ [D] _
talkin' low.
_ [A] _ _ So the madre _ [E] _ couldn't [A] _
hear _ _ [E] how the hours [D] would go [A] a-flyin' _
till too soon I'd hear her [E] sire _ _ in _ [A] _ _
_ her sorry [D] _ little [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] tone.
_ Mi amor, [E] _ _ _
mi corazón, _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I haven't seen her [D] since that _ night.
[A] I can't [E] cross the line, _ _ _ _ _ I'm wanted for a [D] gamblin' fine. _ _
_ [A] And like as not, _ [E] _
it's better [A] so, _ _ _ [E] still I've _ [D] always sort of [A] missed her.
_ Since that last sad night [E] I kissed her, _
_ _ _ [A] _ left her heart, [D] but lost [F] my _ _ _ _ arm.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
Adios, [E] _ _ mi [A] corazón.
