Intro
A Gm A
Dm A Gm Dm

Verse
Dm Am Bb A
The gold ran dry in '54 so with a broken hand
Gm Dm F E
He packed his bags and headed south across the Rio Grande
Dm Am Bb A
The town was mean and brutal for a gringo filled with strife
Gm Dm F Dm
He was about to end it all when some thing changed his life

Dm Am Bb A
A bullfight in the street went bad the beast made to escape
Gm Dm F A
And in a feat of danger with his jacket as a cape
Dm Am Bb A
He stared into the eyes of death and bought it to his knees
Gm Dm F Dm
A cry went up from in the crowd at last he felt appeased

Bridge
A
Then all the people were screaming
Dm
Having the time of their lives
C
Some said they thought they were dreaming
F
But he was right there before their eyes
A
He had the crowd they cheering
Dm
right in the palms of his hands
C
With one or two of them leering
F Gm A
At what they never could comprehend

Chorus
Dm A Dm
Matador heart of the brave
F Gm E A Dm
Suit of life never to save
Dm A Dm
Matador in for the kill
F Gm E A Dm
Statuesque he's standing still

Dm Am
El Toro charged he danced with death
Bb A
And every place he's go
Gm Dm F E
The reputation lead the way through all of Mexico
Dm Am
The Greatest of the Greats they said
Bb A
One never to be missed
Gm Dm
But all good things come to an end
F Dm
And so it was with his

Dm Am Bb A
A moments hesitation and he felt the gore go deep
Gm Dm F E
His life flashed in slow motion as the crowd begin to weep
Dm Am Bb A
The country was in mourning as they buried him that day
Gm Dm F Dm
But memories live for ever like the ghost of him they say

A
The people said he's The Greatest
Dm
Look at his flair and his style
C
No one can stand in his foot steps
F
Or follow him by a mile

A
The crowd was in such a frenzy
Dm
He had the air of a saint
C
Control was part of the fever
F Gm A
Together with such restraint

Dm A Dm
Matador graced by The Lord
F Gm E A Dm
Cheating death plunging the sword
Dm A Dm
Matador here to annul
F Gm E A Dm
With respect praise for the bull

A
There was a sense of dramatic
Dm
That in the blink of an eye
C
It could turn into traumatic
F
Would he be alive or die

A
He was the man of the hour
Dm
And master of his domain
C
He was bestowed and empowered
F Gm A
He had the key to each city he reigned

Dm A Dm
Matador heart of the brave
F Gm E A Dm
Suit of life never to save
Dm A Dm
Matador in for the kill
F Gm E A Dm
Statuesque he's standing still
