[Verse 1]
 
D             A7            D        A7
here comes my happiness again
D             A7              D          A7
Right back to where it should have been
D                A7             D      A7
'Cause now she's gone and I am free
D              A7           D         A7
And she can't do a thing to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D            A7                D       A7
I just wanna dance the night away
D         A7            D        A7
With senoritas who can sway
D           A7               D        A7
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
D             A7             D        A7
Just like the sunny mornin' light
 
(same chords)
 
And if you should see her
Please let her know that I'm well
As you can tell
And if she should tell you
That she wants me back
Tell her no
I gotta go
 
D            A7              D        A7
I just wanna dance the night away
D         A7            D        A7
With senoritas who can sway
D           A7               D        A7
Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright
D             A7             D        A7
Just like the sunny mornin' light

woodery9896 capo or no capo. It's a matter of what you find easier. If it sounds right and easier to play with the capo, why the neck not. Thanks for the tab, it sounds great.

Can also be played with C+G7, A+E7, G+D7, F+C7, E+B7, D+A7, and use Capo as suits your singing voice best
