The Donkey Serenade

C

          Dm7  G7     Dm7
There's a song in the air
G7      C6   C   C6
But the fair senorita
C               Dm7
Doesn't seem to care
G7      Dm7  G7     C
For the song in the air

        Dm7  G7     Dm7
So I'll sing to the mule
G7        C6   C         C6
If you're sure she won't think
     C           Dm7
That I am just a fool
G7  Dm7 G7     C
Serena--ding a mule

  Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
C             F/C          C                    F/C
  She listens carefully to each little tune you play
C          F/C
  (La bella senorita)
C            F/C
  Si, si, mi muchachito
C               F/C            C                 E7
  She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way

    Am         E7
But try as she may
       Am              E7
In her voice there's a flaw
    Am           D        Gsus4  G
And all that the lady can say
       Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 C6 C C6 C
Is “ee-aw---------------------“
Dm7     G7          Dm7
    Senorita donkey sita
       G7         C
Not so fleet as a mosquito
       F/C              C
But so sweet like my Chiquita
           F/C        C
You're the one for me

           Dm7   G7     Dm7
(There’s a light in her eyes
G7         C6  C      C6
Though she may try to hide it
C            Dm7
She cannot deny
G7        Dm7   G7     C
there’s a light in her eyes)

       Dm7   G7     Dm7
Oh the charm of her smile
G7   C6     C     C6
So beguiled Don Diego
C              Dm7
That he rode a mile
G7      Dm7   G7     C
For the charm of her smile

C       F/C        C               F/C
  Amigo mio is she listening to my song
C          F/C        C                 F/C
  No no mi muchachito how can you be so wrong?
C              F/C
  (How can the senorita)
C          F/C
  Si si la senorita
C               F/C            C                 E7
  She’d love to sing it too if only she knew the way

    Am        E7
Her face is a dream
        Am      E7
Like an angel I saw
    Am          D           Gsus4  G
But all that my darlin' can scream
       Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 C6 C C6 C
Is “ee-aw---------------------“
Dm7     G7          Dm7
    Senorita donkey sita
       G7         C
Not so fleet as a mosquito
       F/C              C
But so sweet like my Chiquita
           F/C     C   G7 C
You're the one for me  Ho-lay
