Jai Alai chords

[INTRO]
[A] [Dm]

[VERSE]
He was a Basque from San Sebastian, he came [C]here in '51
Made his [Bb]bones along the border in the [A7]Jai Alai frontons
With a [Dm]basket on his hand, he threw his [C]heart against the wall
He was the [Bb]master of the dance in the [A7]fastest game of all

[CHORUS]
He had [Bb]blood inside his eye, he threw his [F]heart, he let it fly
He was the [A7]master of the dance, the king of [Dm]Jai Alai
What does it [Bb]mean to you and I? Swing your [F]heart and let it fly
Love is a [A7]deadly dance just like [Dm]Jai Alai

[VERSE]
He met a woman deeper than the songs in a [C]Cante Hondo bar
They made [Bb]love outside the racetrack in his [A7]long black touring car
But [Dm]love took all his passion, the [C]fire it twists and burns
Throw your [Bb]heart against the wall and it may not re[A7]turn

[CHORUS]
He had [Bb]blood inside his eye, he threw his [F]heart, he let it fly
He was the [A7]master of the dance, the king of [Dm]Jai Alai
What does it [Bb]mean to you and I? Throw your [F]heart and let it fly
Love is a [A7]deadly dance just like [Dm]Jai Alai

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[A] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7]

[VERSE]
He wrote a [Dm]postcard from Bilbao, said the [C]games were mostly gone
Just a [Bb]memory to the old men who live in [A7]bars and gypsy songs
But [Dm]oh, the crack of thunder when the [C]pelota hit the wall
Love and [Bb]Jai Alai were the fastest games of [A7]all

[BRIDGE]
And his [Bb]passion never died, but these [F]nights he sleeps alone
Seeing her [A7]face reflected on the walls of [Dm]border town frontons
Yeah, the [Bb]games have mostly died, but old [F]men too proud to cry
Live on [A7]memories of love and [Dm]Jai Alai

[CHORUS]
He had [Bb]blood inside his eye, he swung his [F]heart, he let it fly
He was the [A7]master of the dance, the king of [Dm]Jai Alai
What does it [Bb]mean to you and I? Swing your [F]heart, you let it fly
Love is a [A7]deadly dance just like [Dm]Jai Alai
