1. Sad song        in the land of the Spanish sun,

                                                                    D

    Cuba libre, sangria and sun prepare the love song.

D                                                         A

    I could do anything, I felt free, so I followed my heart,

                                          E

    but I've told you who's waiting at home,

E7                                             A

    we knew the end from the start.

 

       D                                                    A

Juanita, I kissed the tears from your Spanish eyes,

               E                                 A

I hate to say goodbye, but I've got to leave you.

       D                                             A

Juanita, there is someone who's waiting at home,

             E                             A

I can't leave her alone, Juanita.

2. Bitter tears        in the eyes of a Spanish girl,

                                                                                              D

a parting cup, a parting kiss, a parting word, goodbye to another world.

D                                                                   A

    We spent a nice time, no regrets, now it comes to an end,

                                     E                       - E7                         A

    for I told you who's waiting at home,        Juanita don't moan.
