Intro: ( G5 ) D5 C5 G5 {pause} 
 
        D5                                            C5                  G5 
At the moment the music began, and you heard the guitar player starting sing 
        D5                                              C5             G5 
You were filled with the beauty that ran, through what you were imagining 
 C5                             E5                               D5 
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love, I was the endless sky 
                 C5      G5 
And you were my Mexican dove. 
 
 
       D5                                                   C5            G5 
Now the music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fainter each day 
       D5                                                         C5         G5 
And you find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel slipping away 
  C5                                                E5 
Though it's not the kind, of love you might hope to find 
                           D5                       C5                G5 
If tears could release the heart, from the shadows preferred by the mind 
 
Interlude: 
( G5 ) D5 C5 G5 x 2 
 
       D5                                               C5               G5 
Like a wind that comes up in the night, caressing your face while you sleep 
          D5                                                   C5        G5 
Love will fill your eyes with the sight, of a world you can't hope to keep 
 C5                      E5                                       D5 
Dreaming on after that moment's gone, the light in your lover's eyes 
                   C5            G5                     C5 
Disappears in the light of the dawn, but the morning brings, strength to your 
          E5                          B5                        E5 
restless wings, and some other lover sings to the sun's bright corona, 
 {pause}        D5              C5     G5      ( G5 ) D5 C5 G5 
I know all about these things, Linda Paloma. 
      D5          G5     G5 E5 D5 G5 
Fly away...Linda Paloma.
