Emilio

Dm   Am   E    E7   Dm   E

[Verse 1]
Am
Emilio lives in an attic
Dm
Plays a flamenco guitar
  E                    E7
Arpeggios fall out his window
                  Dm                    Am
And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars


[Verse 2]
A7
They harmonize with the sirens
    Dm
And mix with that racket downstairs
     Bdim7               E7
They wander out into the traffic
 Dm                Am        Dm    E7
Emilio's misguided prayers


[Verse 3]
    Am
The moon is Emilio's mistress
   Dm
On her there's no turning his back
E                            E7
Some nights she comes to him naked and cold
    Dm                         Am
And some nights she only wears black


[Verse 4]
         A7
When the Fundador flows from his bottle
Dm
Somehow there's always a fight
         Bdim7                      E7
When the moon and the lunatic dance seguirías
      Am        Dm           A7                      Dm
Their beautiful music spills into the night and they dance


[Instrumental]]
Dm      Bb   A7   Dm


[Verse 5]
       Am
In his dreams he can see the abuelas
     Dm
They offer him wafers and wine
   E              E7
Suspicious Emilio measures
    Dm                 Am
The vino against the divine


[Verse 6]
       A7
But he never has come to believe them
   Dm
Or accepted their heavenly host
  Bdim7              E7
Sabicas and Salvador Dalí
    Am            Dm        A7
The saint and the sinner he prays to the most


[Verse 7]
 Dm
Emilio lives in an attic
Am
Plays a flamenco guitar
  E                    E7
Arpeggios fall out his window
                  Dm                    Am
And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars
