Falseta over 1 bar of

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 
Dm
And mix with that racket downstairs 
E7sus4/B                   E7b9
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

Falseta over 1 bar of

E7b9
 
[Verse]
Am
In his dreams he can see the abuelas
Dm
They offer him wafers and wine 
E7sus4/B           E7b9
Suspicious Emilio measures 
    Dm/A Am7/A  Em7/A  Am
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
                  Am        Dm/A          A7   Adim7
The saint and the sinner he prays to the most
Dm
Emilio lives in an attic
Am
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
