Gene Clark Spanish Guitar Lyrics

Spanish Guitar Lyrics

The dissonant bells of the sea 
D Bm 
Who are ringing the rhymes of the deep 
D D/C# F#m 
As they sing of the ages asleep 
E A 
not so near or so far 
 
And the old masters wind of the waves 
Sped forth for the free men and slaves 
Whispers of secrets it saves 
and about whom they are 
 
A A/G# B 
And the workings of sunshine and rain 
A A/G# B 
And the visions they paint that remain 
E C#m 
Pulsate from my soul through my brain 
B 
in a spanish guitar 
 
The beggar whom sits in the street 
On his miserable throne of defeat 
Envisions no wealth there to meet 
Thinking nowhere is far 
 
And the laughter of children employed 
By the fantasies not yet destroyed 
By the dogmas of those they avoid 
knowing not what they are 
 
And the right and the wrong and insane 
And the answers they cannot explain 
Pulsate from my soul through my brain 
in a spanish guitar 
 
 
To play on a spanish guitar 
With the sun shining down where you are 
Skipping and singing a bar 
from the music around 
 
Just to laugh through the columns of trees 
To soar like a seagull in breeze 
To stand in the rain if you please 
or to never be found
