D               Em7   A7    D      D6
How I love the kisses of Dolores,

D      Cdim    Em7   A7
Ay, ay, ay, Dolores;

Em7          A7       Em7   A7
Not Marie or Emily or Doris --

A7  A7+5   D
Only my Dolores.

F#7         B7  E7       Edim
From a balcony above me,

               Bm         Bm7                A
She whispers, "Love me,"       and throws a rose.

F#m           C#m7-5     F#m   Bm7-5   E7       A7      G  Cm A7
Ah, but she is twice as lovely  as the rose she throws.

D             Em7      A7    D      D6
I would die to be with my Dolores,

D      Cdim    Em7   A7
Ay, ay, ay, Dolores;

Em7           A7         Em7    A7
I was made to serenade Dolores,

A7     A7+5   D
Chorus after chorus.

F#7          B7        E7         Edim
Just imagine eyes like moonrise,

             Bm    Bm7/E              Em7   A7
A voice like music,     and lips like wine.

 D              A7             B7    E7   A7   D
What a break if I could make Dolores mine all mine.
