 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...
