[Verse 1]
    E                      C#m
The dissonant voice of the sea,
       D           C#m           B     Bm
who is singing the sounds of the deep
        D           C#m    F#m
As they sing of the ages asleep,
                  E   A   B
not so near or so far

[Verse 2]
        E                       C#m
And the old masters wind of the waves,
     D             C#m          Bm
sped forth for the free men and slaves
    D           A          F#m
And whispers of secrets it saves,
                    E   A   B
and about whom they are

[Verse 3]
        A           G#m          B
And the workings of sunshine and rain,
        A            G#m        B
and the visions they paint that remain
   E                       C#m
Pulsate from my soul to my brain,
                B
in a Spanish Guitar

[Verse 4]
        E                      C#m
And the beggar who sits in the street,
       D         C#m         Bm
on his miserable throne of defeat
  D          A               C#m
Envisions no wealth there to meet,
    F#m             E   A   B
thinking nowhere is far

[Verse 5]
        E                      C#m
And the laughter of children employed,
       D         A           Bm
by the fantasies not yet destroyed
       D         C#m         F#m
By the dogmas of those they avoid,
                      E   A   B
knowing not what they are

[Verse 6]
        A             G#m         B
And the right and the wrong and insane,
        A            G#m      B
and the answers they cannot explain
   E                           C#m
Pulsate through my soul and my brain,
             B      B7
in a Spanish guitar

[Verse 7]
   E                 C#m
To play on a Spanish guitar,
         D           C#m            Bm
with the sun shining down where you are
       D            C#m       F#m
Just a skipping and singing a bar,
                    E   A   B
from the music all around

[Verse 8]
        E                            C#m
Just to laugh through the columns of trees,
      D           C#m        Bm
or to soar like a seagull in breeze
      D            C#m         F#m
Or to stand in the rain if you please,
                E   A   B
and to never be found


[Verse 9]

        A           G#m          B
And the workings of sunshine and rain,
        A            G#m        B
and the visions they paint that remain
   E                       C#m
Pulsate from my soul to my brain,
                B
in a Spanish Guitar


[Verse 10]
   E                 C#m
To play on a Spanish guitar,
         D           C#m            Bm
with the sun shining down where you are
       D            C#m       F#m
Just a skipping and singing a bar,
                    E   A   B
from the music all around
