Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John

Intro: C F | Bb F  } 2 times

C
I don’t know why,
              F   Fsus4 F
I just know I do,
Bb
I just can’t explain
        Am       F/A    C    Csus2
In this language that I use.

C
Something leaves me speechless,
                     F       Fsus4 F
Each time that you approach.
     Bb
Each time you glide right through me
   Am   F/A   C
As if I was a ghost.

                   Bb/F F
   If I only could tell you,
                     C/G G
   If you only would listen,
              Am      Bb     C      D
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
              Bb      F/A          C
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
  G/D                      Cm/Eb
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     G#           Bb
     I don’t understand.
                         Am75-
     But I heard it in a film
              D7/F#         Eb
     One time spoken by the leading man.
  G/D                  Cm/Eb
     He said it with devotion,
        G#            Bb
     He sounded so sincere.
                               Am75-
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
                 D7/F#          Eb
     Brought the female lead to tears.
  F            Gm       F Eb
     A word in Spanish,
  F            Gm       F
     A word in Spanish.

   C
If you can’t comprehend,
              F
Read it in my eyes.
   Bb
If you don’t understand it’s love
Am   F/A     C      Csus2
In a thin disguise.

    C
And what it takes to move you,
                     F     Fsus4 F
Each time that you resist,
   Bb
Is more than just a pretty face
   Am         F/A C
To prove that I exist.

                   Bb/F F
   If I only could tell you,
                     C/G G
   If you only would listen,
              Am      Bb     C      D
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
              Bb      F/A          C
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
  G/D                      Cm/Eb
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     G#           Bb
     I don’t understand.
                         Am75-
     But I heard it in a film
              D7/F#         Eb
     One time spoken by the leading man.
  G/D                  Cm/Eb
     He said it with devotion,
        G#            Bb
     He sounded so sincere.
                               Am75-
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
                 D7/F#          Eb
     Brought the female lead to tears.
  F            Gm       F Eb
     A word in Spanish,
  F            Gm
     A word in Spanish.

Bridge:
        Cm              F7
   When manners make no difference,
          Bb6
   And my gifts all lay undone.
     Cm
   I trade my accent in on chance
       A7              D
   And fall back on a foreign tongue.
