The Pogues - Spanish Lady guitar tab

***SPANISH LADY - Traditional

from the album "The Crock Of Gold"

Spanish Lady - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and the Popes

G Em Am D7

As I came down thru Dublin city at the hour of twelve at night

G Em Am D7

Who should I see but a Spanish Lady, washing her feet by candlelight

G Em G D

First she washed them then she dried them over a fire of amber coals

G Em Am D7

In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet about the soul

CHORUS:

G Em

Whack for the toora loora laddy

Am D7

Whack for the toora loora lay

G Em

Whack for the toora loora laddy

Am D7

Whack for the torra loora lay

As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight

Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broadday light

First she tossed it then she combed it on her lap was a silver comb

In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so fair since I did roam

CHO:

As I came back thru Dublin city as the sun began to set

Who should I see but the Spanish lady catching a moth in a golden net

When see saw me then she fled me lifting her pettycoat over her knee

In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady

CHO:

I've wandered north and I've wandered south throu stormy batter and Patricks Close

Up and around the by the Glouster Diamond and back by Napper Tandy's house

Old age has laid her hand on me cold as a fire of ashy coals

In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady
