                             LINDA PALOMA

Intro: (G) D7 C G [pause]

        D7                                            C                  G
At the moment the music began, and you heard the guitar player starting sing

        D7                                              C             G
You were filled with the beauty that ran, through what you were imagining

 C                             Em                               D7
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love, I was the endless sky

                 C      G
And you were my Mexican dove.


       D7                                                   C            G
Now the music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fainter each day

       D7                                                         C         G
And you find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel slipping away

  C                                                Em
Though it's not the kind, of love you might hope to find

                           D7                       C                G
If tears could release the heart, from the shadows preferred by the mind



Interlude: (G) D7 C G x 2


       D7                                               C               G
Like a wind that comes up in the night, caressing your face while you sleep

          D7                                                   C        G
Love will fill your eyes with the sight, of a world you can't hope to keep

 C                      Em                                       D7
Dreaming on after that moment's gone, the light in your lover's eyes

                   C            G                     C
Disappears in the light of the dawn, but the morning brings, strength to your

          Em                          Bm                        Em
restless wings, and some other lover sings to the sun's bright corona,

 [pause]        D7              C     G      (G) D7 C G
I know all about these things, Linda Paloma.

      D7...       G     G Em D7 G
Fly away...Linda Paloma.
