Spanish Moon makes silver splendor.

D                 C                 Bb         Fm
Music throbbing, plaintive sobbing notes of a guitar

      Em           C        B7
While ardent Caballero serenades

D                 C                Bb              Fm
Darkness falling hear her calling love has won her heart,

      Em          C         B7
While ardent Caballero serenades.

*Requested by recent visitor John Cade.

**Fisher used only the first verse of this song, sandwiched between two refrains - the second verse is not all that well known. If you really want to play along with his version, capo 3 and play the first refrain, the first verse, then skip to the final refrain.
