E
then arpeggio over
E7b9
[Verse]
Am
Emilio lives in an attic
Dm
Plays a flamenco guitar
E7sus4/B E7b9
Arpeggios fall out his window
Dm/A Am7/A Em7/A Am
And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars
A7
They harmonize with the sirens

They wander out into the traffic
Dm/A Am7/A Em7/A Am
Emilio's misguided prayers
Played between these verses
Dm E7sus4/B E7b9
[Verse]
Am
The moon is Emilio's mistress
Dm
On her there's no turning his back
E7sus4/B E7b9
Some nights she comes to him naked and cold
Dm/A Am7/A Em7/A Am
And some nights she only wears black
A7
When the Fundador flows from his bottle
Dm
Somehow there's always a fight
E7sus4/B E7b9
When the moon and the lunatic dance seguirías
Am Dm/A A7 Adim7 Edim7 Dm
Their beautiful music spills into the night and they dance

In his dreams he can see the abuelas

The vino against the divine
A7
But he never has come to believe them
Dm
Or accepted their Heavenly host
E7sus4/B E7b9
Sabicas and Salvador Dalí
