Em7          Cdim            Am7       D7 
It was a fi - es - ta down in Mex - i - co, 
 
Em7      Cdim               Am7      D7 
And so I stopped a while to see the show; 
 
G                Cdim      Am7    G         Am7 
I knew that fre - ne - si meant "Please love me," 
 
G  Am7     Cdim Am7         G 
And I could say fre - ne - si. 
 
 
Em7          Cdim                 Am7       D7 
A hand - some cab - el - ler - o caught my eye; 
 
Em7          Cdim              Am7         D7 
I stood en - chan - ted as he wan - dered by, 
 
G            Cdim      Am7      G        Am7 
And nev -er know - ing that it came from me, 
 
G  Am7      Cdim    Am7        G     D   C 
I gent - ly sighed "fre - ne - si." 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
B              Am7                 B 
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine, 
 
C             D          Am7      B     D  C 
His lips just plea - ded to be kissed; 
 
B             Am7                  B 
His eyes were soft as can - dle - shine, 
 
C         Am7         D9   Am7   D7 
So how was I to re - sist? 
 
 
Em7           Cdim            Am7      D7 
And now with - out a heart to call my own, 
 
Em7         Cdim                  Am7       D7 
A great - er hap - pi - ness I've nev - er known, 
 
G              Cdim      Am7      G     Am7 
Be - cause his kiss - es are for me a - lone - 
 
G   Am7        Cdim  Am7        G 
Who would - n't say "fre - ne - si?"
