Cdim  B7  Cdim B7   Cdim B7

I     know  a  dark se - clu - ded place,

  Em

A place where no one knows your face;

Cdim  B7    Cdim B7  Cdim  B7

A     glass  of  wine, a   fast embrace --

     Em        B7           Em   B7  Em

It's called Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)

 

B7  Cdim  B7  Cdim B7

All you-- see are  sil - hou - ettes,

    Em

And all you hear are castanets,

Cdim B7 Cdim B7  Cdim B7

And  no one cares how late it gets,

    Em    B7           Em   B7  Em

Not at Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)

 

BRIDGE:

B7

At the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go,

You will meet your uncle Max and ev'ryone you know;

B7

But if you go to that spot that I am thinking of,

F#7            Cdim   F#7          Cdim      B7

   You will be free      to gaze at me   and talk of love.

 

Cdim B7    Cdim  B7    Cdim  B7

Just knock three times and-- whisper low

     Em

That you and I were sent by Joe,

Cdim  B7     Cdim B7    Cdim   B7

       Em    B7           Em   B7  Em

You're in Hernando's Hideaway (o - le!)
