E
There's a legend of a famous matador
F                    E
Who went to meet El Toro
E
Though he fought as he had never done before
F                      E
He could not beat, El Toro

Chorus:
F                G                        E
The bull El Toro, brought him defeat and pain
F                 G                   E
And to his sorrow, the matador knew shame

They said time would never heal the many scars
Brought by the great, El Toro
And the bitterness that burned deep in his heart
Caused him to hate, El Toro

Chorus

Am                  G
So one night, when no-one was in sight
     F                            E
The matador, went to settle the score
       Am                G
In the lonely fields, beneath the pale moonlight
    F                                     E
He sought the bull, and they fought once more

When they found the matador, they saw him dying
He'd never see tomorrow
Now they say that on the spot where he was lying
Still walks the proud El Toro

Chorus
