The Knives of Spain
By Ray Wylie Hubbard


D
If I had some poet’s wings
G              D                 
I would fly to New Orleans
    D
I’d rhyme my trials and my misdeeds
          G             D
So if you cut the words they would bleed

Chorus 1:
    G                     D
And in the night when I’m all alone
        G                   D 
And the sadness goes to the bone
    G                 D     
I’d make the words in the refrain
   G                       D
As lethal as the knives of Spain

If I had some black cat’s bones
I’d take the things down to Antone’s
Then I’d steal what I really need
I’d take it home and I’d let it bleed

Chorus 2:
And in the night when I’m by myself
I’d take what it was down from the shelf
When I find the words in the refrain
As lethal as the knives of Spain

If I had some grains of faith
Well I’d keep ’em where they were safe
Then I would not disbelieve
Be corrupted or deceived

Chorus 3:
And in the night when no one’s around
I would kneel down upon the ground
When I find the words in the refrain 
As lethal as the knives of Spain.

Chorus 3
