Music and Lyrics by Joe Ely >From Joe Ely's Dig All Night Transcribed by Steve Krall (steve.krall@daytonoh.ncr.com) Comments/Corrections encouraged This song is primarily verses w/ 2 types of chord patterns, labelled A and B. The first verse, however, is a little different Verse 1 D In a border town when the lights go down G D And the Ranchero Radio plays D D You wont find me around in the lights of the town A G D I'll be out where the day meets the shade Pattern A D G D I only came for a holiday to sit in the Mexican wind D G D I only came for the whiskey, but suddenly she walked in D D She wore a dress made of lace, And the light on her face G I felt the room start to shake D A D It shook a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade... Pattern A I only came for the sun but I wound up with the moon and the stars When her eyes met mine, the room filled with Spanish guitars The kerosene in my blood Came on like a flood As I stood to take her away To a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade... Pattern B G D On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade G A With the skeletons dancing on the eve of the Day of the Dead D D I reached out in the dark, Put my hand on her heart, G While the bows of the palm trees swayed D A D On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade Pattern A I woke up in a sweat, my legs feeling too weak to stand There's a pain in my back and not a bit of grip in my hands A flash of steel in the night Left me no time to write An epitaph to leave on my grave The church bells rang on a Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade Pattern B On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade With the skeletons dancing on the eve of the Day of the Dead If you see Juan Tell him I can't come I've got a previous engagement I've made. I'm On a Black Spanish Love Seat Behind the Bamboo Shade...
