W.C. Jameson - Love Songs in Spanish (lyrics and chords)

This is a song that's included on the Americapolitan Outlaw Sampler which is available free (legally) from Noisetrade.  I liked this song immediately and wanted to add it to my book of songs to practice strumming on the ukulele, but it was ungoogleable (Google has taken legal action to prevent this word from appearing in a dictionary, so I'm going to use it as often as possible).  That is, it doesn't look like anyone has ever posted a simple chord chart--or even lyrics--to any of the numerous websites where you can find such things.

So...the song actually is in C.  I didn't just put it that way to make it simple.




Love Songs in Spanish - W.C. Jameson

1.
C                  F              C
She had a voice as sweet as Texas honey
      Am       F                G
And a touch as soft as a summer breeze
C             F           C           F
Her dark eyes shined like diamonds
              C             G          C
When she sang love songs in Spanish to me

2. (repeat chords as in 1)
I met her in a tiny village by the Rio Grande
Felt the magic of her smile and could not leave
Barefoot in the sand, she played the mandolin
And she sang love songs in Spanish to me

(chorus)
G                                    C
Like the river that flows out to the sea
G                                        C
Like the song birds in winter she had to leave
F                          C     F
I'm left here with my memory
              C             G          C
When she sang love songs in Spanish to me


(instrumental break)

3.  (repeat chords as in 1 and 2)
I recall those nights with her alone
Moonlight bright, soft wind in the trees
We lay together down by the river
And she sang love songs in Spanish to me

(repeat chorus)

...when she sang love songs in Spanish to me
