Verse 1
[Gm] [D/F#]  
I hold out hope, But it stalls
[Bb/F#] [C7] [Gm/Bb] [D7] [Gm] [D] 
Soon, the last curtain falls, A hundred years of past has spoken
[Gm] [D/F#] [Bb/F] [C7] 
All the great warriors , Are sewn into history's flag
[Gm/Bb] [D7] [Gm] [D] 
Like a book of the seven seals , Of the hero's past
[Gm] [D/F#] [Bb/F] [C7] 
Through fires, revolutions , Dust storms and conclusions
[Gm/Bb] [D7] [Gm] [D] 
Will the show go on tonight? For one more time?
Verse 2
[Gm] [D/F#]  
I fight on, Fight on,
[Bb/F] [C7] [Gm/Bb] [D7] 
I'm the last matador of Bayonne, For tomorrow this place falls
[Gm] [D]  
Into silence...
Clean Solo.

Verse 3
[Gm] [D/F#]  
There's a path, Traveled by many
[Bb/F] [C7] [Gm/Bb] [D7] 
Say one more prayer for my family , Like a ship without a sail
[Gm] [D]  
Cast adrift
[Gm] [D/F#]  
I fight on, Fight on
[Bb/F] [C7] [Gm/Bb] [D7] 
I'm the last matador of Bayonne , A hundred years of past
[Gm] [D]  
Now are gone
Outro Solo
