E7 Am Am7 Am C C/B Am Fdim Am
Gra - na - da, I'm fall - ing under your spell
E7 Am E7 C Am E
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell
E Dm7 Dm Dm7 E
Of an age the world has long for - got - ten,
E F Fdim E
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Gra - na - da today.
C Am CM7 C C9 CM7 F G
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Gra - na - da
G D7/9 G Am7 G/B Fdim Am7 C
For she can remember the splendor that once was Gra - na - da
C Am CM7 C C9 C Em
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wand'r along
B7 Cdim B7 Cdim Em
Entranced by the beauty before me
B7 Cdim B7 Em B+ Em G
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and flow -ers and song
C Am CM7 C C9 CM7 F G
And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Gra - na - da
G D7/9 G Am7 G/B Fdim Am7 C
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Si - er - ra Ne - va - da
C C7 F Fm C
For soon it will welcome the stars while a thousand guitars
F C
Play a soft ha - bań - er - a
F Dm Am7 Dm C
Then moonlit Gra - na - da will live again
Cdim F Dm7 G G6 G G D7/9 G7 G C
The glory of yes - ter - day, ro - man - tic and gay.
