Capo 1
G D/F#
Buenos noches senorita, I'm mighty pleased to meet ya
G G7
Maybe you and I could sit a spell and talk
C Cm
I'm new to Santa Fe, I just rode into town today
G D/F# C D
Thought I'd spend some time in these adobe walls
G D/F#
It's dark in this cantina, it's a wonder that I seen ya
G G7
Sittin' without any company at all
C Cm
I was wondering if we might dance away this lonely night
G C6 B6 G
Like two shadows on these old adobe walls
C D G
I hear Celito Lindo softly playing
C D G
As I take you in my arms and hold you close
F Bb B Bb
Though I don't understand a word you're saying
C Am D
Your brown eyes tell me all I need to know
G D/F#
These walls have stood for ages and though time still turns its pages
G G7
Hearts are still the same when night begins to fall
C Cm
Sure as there are stars above we're not the first to fall in love
G C6 B6 G
That's the magic of these old adobe walls
Chorus
These walls have stood for ages and though time still turns its pages
Hearts are still the same when night begins to fall
As sure as there are stars above, we're not the first to fall in love
That's the magic of these old adobe walls
As sure as there are stars above
We're not the first to fall in love
That's the magic of these old adobe walls
