A Word In Spanish (Elton John) 



    D					G

1. I don't know why I just know I do

C			 	G/H		  D

I just can't explain In this language that I use 

D								     G

Something leaves me speechless each time that you approach

	C 					G/H		D

Each time you glide right through me As if I was a ghost 



		  G				A

If I only could tell you If you only would listen

	      Hm	       C	       D		E

I've got a line or two to use on you 

	     C		G/H		D

I've got a romance we could christen 



		A/E		  F	     Bb		      C

Ref.: And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand 

		        H°			E/As		F

But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man 

A/E			F	Bb		C

He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere 

				H°			E/As		    F

And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears 

G		Am     F   G		Am

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish 



2. If you can't comprehend 

Read it in my eyes 

If you don't understand it's love 

In a thin disguise 

And what it takes to move you 

Each time that you resist 

Is more than just a pretty face 

To prove that I exist 



If I only could tell you...



Ref.: And there´s a word in spanish...



	Dm			G

When manners make no difference

	     C 

And my gifts all lay undone 

    Dm

I trade my accent in on chance 

	H		E

And fall back on a foreign tongue
