[Verse 1]
[Am]John
Willie,
John
[E]Willie[Am]
[E][Am][E][Am][Dm]
[E]Now [Am]I went to
[E]Spa[Am]in, but[E] never [Am]again
[G]I couldn't go there t[C]wice
I [G]said, [Dm]name's
John
[G]Willie
But they [Am]said it [E]sounded [Am]silly
And [D]they wouldn't call [A]me
[D]that at any [G]price
They [F]soon [Am]made me change
[E]my nam[Am]e
And a [G]real [D]proper
Spaniard I be[G]came[E]
[Am]Don[E]
Pedro, the [Am]grateful [E]fighting hero
The
[Am]Lancashire
Tor[G]eador[C]
[E]The[Am]y che[A]er [E]me,
and [A]when [Am]the b[E]ull gets near me,
To [D]show how far a brave man can go,
[G]With the [E]bull I [G]dance [E]the tango.
[Am]Then, when I hung on his tail,
My [D]pants he tried to [G]gore.
I [Am]went dashing round the ring,
With him giving chase,
Three [G]times he tossed me in the air,
I looked a disgrace.
They [Am]shouted, look at [E]all that skin and
[A]bone round the [Dm]place, it's the
[Am]Lachish
[F]At [E]ariador[A][Dm][Am][E][Am]
Don
[E]Pedro, the gre[Am]at bullfighting her[E]o, the
[Am]Lachish
At[Dm]ari [G]ador
[C]I m[E]et [Am]a ch[E]arming senor[Am]ita[E]
She [D]said, to love you I could never
Then [G]kissed me goodbye forever
[Am]That night, as she retired
She [D]locked her bedroom [G]door
She star[Am]ted [E]to undress
And timidly [Am]she [E]looked round
[Am]She [D]said[G], well that's got rid of him[D]
For [G]he's home[D]work bound
[G]But [C]when she [E]pulled the curtains back,
just [Am]guess what [Dm]she found?
[F]The
[E]Lancashire
Toreador!
[Am]Don[E][Am][E][Am]
[E]Pedro, the [Am]great bullfighting [E]hero,
The
[Am]Lancashire
[Dm]Tor [G]eador![C][E]
[Am]I sc[E]are him, no me[Am]rcy ever spa[E]re him,
[D]In the dead of night I ramble,
[G]Spanish castle walls I scramble
[Am]I saw a shadow above,
a [D]girl in her boudoir
[G]I cli[Am]mbed up [E]her bal[Am]cony,
[E]it started[Am] to sway[E]
[Am]She [D]shou[G]ted, mur[D]der,
[G]there's a [D]bandit, [G]spare my [D]life, pray
[G]But [C]when my castanet[E]s I raffled,
she [A]said, [Am]hooray
[Dm]It's [F]the
[E]Lancashire
[Am]Toreador[E][E][Am][E][A]
[Dm]It's [F]the
[E]Lancashire
