• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

♫ Verse:
Em                Bm
   The owl of Zaragoza
                    Am
Is sitting by my window
          G   B
Daring me out
Em                       Bm
   As I sit there by my piano
                      Am
I let spiders take my hands
                 G     B
Daring the words to entwine
Em                        Bm
   Why's there so much loving?
                      Am
Why’s there so much trouble?
                        G   B
The rhetorical snake replies
Em                                Bm7
    It's just the song sung for the river
              Am
So don't be scared, don’t be shy
           G     B
Don't even ask why

♫ Verse:
Em                          Bm
   On one hand, is tattooed joy
                            Am
On one hand, is tattooed strife
              G                  B
And I've been boxing half of my life
Em                           Bm
   What's the difference, Duran?

What's the difference?
            Am
Between the No Mas
                G      B
And the championship high?

Em Em Am                Am
       So high, I look down
Am D                    Em
     The ground is like speckles
Em Am                Am
     The owl and my mind

     Have taken to the air-i-ai-aiaiair
Am D                      Em
     The witching time arrives

     Band by my side
Am D                   Em
     We step into the lights

calm ♫ Verse:
      Em                  G
In my dream the was a mechanical bull
                    C
I watched it on a screen
                            Em
And it was blocking me from entering my life
        Am                                G
In the next scene, there was a rain of arrows
                        F#m
And the matador and the bull
                           B
Both got drenched in those fine diagonal lines
         Em
I was director, I was matador
        G
And the bull was my name
       C
When I woke, I was drenched
         Em
From the storm where I came
       Am                    G
As the sweat on my body got cold
                       F#m
I started shivering and shivering
              B
And shivering and shivering
Em Em Am     Am Am D
And I-ia-ia-ia-ia
                       Em
I know where that one goes
Em Am                      Am
    I know where that one flies
Am D                           Em
    And I'II follow it tonight

♫ Chorus:
                  C
One morе for this life
                 G
One more for thе show
                 D
One more for the sky
        B             Em
And the fire down below
                 C
One more for the night
                        G
Where the purple lilacs grow
                 D
One more for the dead
 B                   Em
One more for the road
                 C
One more for the eyes
                        G
Of the spirits in this room
                  D
One more for the future
       B             Em
That's coming for us soon
                  C
One more for the fight
                      G
And the never-ending blows
                   D
One more for your love
  B              Em
One more for the road
