 E                      B7
Wandering alone on the ridge of a coast
 E                        B7
Lost to the world he had known as a boy
 E            A          B            E   B7
He knows his lover lies south in the city

 E                  B7
Passing along and sleepy as night
 E                      B7
Warm in the woods that conceal him from light
 E       A           B           E     E7
He is accustomed to hiding from people

Chorus:
A
Taking his time as he crosses the bridge
A7
Holding the flowers he picked from the ridge
Dm                         A       Bm  E
Walking in the shadows to his señorita

Safe in the dawn he gets under the sheets
His señorita, a heavenly sweet soul
That was put there to save and protect him

Chorus:
He knows that time cannot endlessly go
Traps will be sat by the people below
She will be caught too and he could not bear it

Hope in the freedom he can almost touch
Folk take for granted as they walk to church
He says his prayers and God listens to him

Sir, all I want is a chance to amend
Past infidelities, please do not send
Me far away from my wise

 E       A           B
Me far away from my wise
 E       A           B
Me far away from my wise
   E    B7
Señorita
   E    B7
Señorita
         E    B7 E
Oooh! Señorita
