Emilio Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[Dm] [Am] [E] [E7] [Dm] [E]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Emilio lives in an attic
[Dm]Plays a flamenco guitar
Ar[E]peggios fall out his [E7]window
And roll down the [Dm]fenders of rusted out [Am]cars

[VERSE 2]
[A7]They harmonize with the sirens
And [Dm]mix with that racket downstairs
They [Bdim7]wander out into the [E7]traffic
E[Dm]milio's misguided [Am]prayers [Dm] [E7]

[VERSE 3]
The [Am]moon is Emilio's mistress
On [Dm]her there's no turning his back
[E]Some nights she comes to him [E7]naked and cold
And [Dm]some nights she only wears [Am]black

[VERSE 4]
When the [A7]Fundador flows from his bottle
[Dm]Somehow there's always a fight
When the [Bdim7]moon and the lunatic dance [E7]seguirías
Their [Am]beautiful [Dm]music spills [A7]into the night and they [Dm]dance

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Dm] [Bb] [A7] [Dm]

[VERSE 5]
In his [Am]dreams he can see the abuelas
They [Dm]offer him wafers and wine
Sus[E]picious Emilio [E7]measures
The [Dm]vino against the di[Am]vine

[VERSE 6]
But he [A7]never has come to believe them
Or [Dm]accepted their heavenly host
Sa[Bdim7]bicas and Salvador [E7]Dalí
The [Am]saint and the [Dm]sinner he [A7]prays to the most

[VERSE 7]
E[Dm]milio lives in an attic
[Am]Plays a flamenco guitar
Ar[E]peggios fall out his [E7]window
And roll down the [Dm]fenders of rusted out [Am]cars
