{Intro}
(Mariachi trumpets)
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah, Olé!

Verse 1:
Dm              A7
Pedro the bull was a killer,
              Dm
king of the bullfight arena.
  Gm              C7              F     Bb
He'd wipe up the floor with each brave matador.
          E7                    A7
And have matador stew for his dinner.

{Bridge 1}
   Gm               A7
He heard the crowd shouting; Olé! (Olé!)
Gm                          A7
But he met his master that day.

Chorus 1:
     D                 A7
The bullfighter was a lady
                                D
And it was true love at first sight.
                             G          Em
Her red cape was waving but Pedro was shaving.
    A7                      Dm
He wanted to date her that night.

Break:
(Mariachi trumpets)
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah, Olé!


Verse 2:
                        A7
Pedro the bull he was smitten,
                             Dm
first time the love bug had bitten.
               C7          F          Bb
He once was a mad bull, a wild and a bad bull.
     E7                   A7
But now he was mild as a kitten.

{Bridge 2}
     Gm                      A7
The people were starting to hiss.
     E7                   A7
But Pedro just wanted to kiss.


Chorus 2:
      D                A7
The bullfighter was a lady
                            D
And Pedro he liked what he saw.
                          G          Em
He floated on air with a rose in his hair.
       A7                      Dm
As he waltzed with that sweet matador.

{Bridge 3}
     A7                     Dm
His fate was a bad one, his tale is a sad one
      A7                 Dm  C B Dm
It's hanging right over; her door

Outro:
