The Spanish moon is rising on the hill

How long must I suffer such abuse

G         D/F#              Em
So one more time at midnight near the wall
      C          C/B                   D
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
Bm                 Bm7                   C
Won't you descend from the throne from whence you sit
G      Cadd9           D                       G
And let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it
