[Verse 1]
AHe was noblyG born
CAnd a SpanisAh bull's horn
FHad left one scaGr on his handsome Eface
AHe stood likGe a prince
CAnd he had eAver since
FHe had grandly wGalked into the plaEce
DThough the girls of CMadrid
BbTonight were forbiAd
GFor tomorrow Fhe must fight once moEre
ABefore he leGft the ball
CHe would danAce with them all
F'Cause Ghe was El ToreadAor
[Verse 2]
AThe day of Gthe feast
CWas just a lightA in the east
FWhen he lGeft Maria's warm bEed
AHer dark eyGes said "more"
CBut he walked thAru the door
FShaking cGobwebs of dreams from his hAead
DAnd later that dCay
BbAs he knelt to praAy
GHe said God gFrant me this nothing Emore
AIf it is thGe way
CAnd I must dAie today
FLet me Gdie like a ToreaAdor
[Verse 3]
EThe Plaza del Toros
EShook from the roar
FAs the band played the TorEeador'Fs theme G F E
EAlarmed by the sound
EThe bull paws the ground
FAs the Toreador enters theE ring F G F E
EUp and down
ERound and round
EOn and on, all alone
[Verse 4]
AThe shouts Gof olé
CIn the heat of Athe day
FRushed the hot blGood to his SpanishE heart
AAnd the crowd helGd their breath
CAs he flirted wAith death
FAnd the bull fighGter's sword found it'As mark
DAnd trying toC hide
BbThe wound Ain his side
GHe walked from Fthe ring standiEng tall
[Outro]
AAnd a crowd Ggathered round
CAs he fell to tAhe ground
AA priest helGd his hand
CWhere he lay inA the sand
AAnd he was hGeard to say
CA brave bull diAed today
FBut he died Glike a ToreadAor
