watch the video and listen to the song.

G9 and sometimes G6sus4, so you can play whatever
you like, or you can play plain G major chord.

Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?

It was from her ship a-sailin'

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.

Verse:
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
