Subject: CRD: "The Road To Ensenada" by Lyle Lovett

This one was actually a bit tough to work out, since the guitar part

includes a lot of partial chords that could be interpreted in different

ways. This arrangement sounds quite nice, though. I'd advise picking

rather than strumming, to get the spare sound of the recording -- try

experimenting with different picking patterns until you find one you like.

As [D] I lay [G] sick and [A] bro[D]ken

[D] Viva [A] Mexi[D]co

My [D] eyes just [G] won't stay [A] o[D]pen

And I [Bm] dream a [A] dream of [D] home

I [D] dream a [G] dream of [A] home

Where there's [D] coffee [G] on the [A] ta[D]ble

And [D] kindness [A] in your [D] hand

[D] Honey I'll [G] help you [A] when I'm [D] able

But right [Bm] now I'm [A] feeling [D] bad

Right [D] now I'm [G] feeling [A] bad

[D] Listen [G] to your [A] heart that [D] beats

And [D] follow [G] it with [A] both your [D] feet

And [D] as you [G] walk and [A] as you [D] breathe

You [Bm] ain't no [A] friend to [D] me

You [D] ain't no [G] friend to [A] me

The [D] road to [G] Ensen[A]ada [D]

[D] Is plenty [A] wide and [D] fast

If [D] you head [G] South from [A] Tijuana [D]

Then [Bm] I'll see [A] you at [D] last

[D] I'll see [G] you at [A] last

But my [D] eyes they [G] open [A] slow[D]ly

And they [D] look a[A]round the [D] room

The [D] old [G] man he [A] seems [D] worried

And there [Bm] ain't no [A] sign of [D] you

There [D] ain't no [G] sign of [A] you

Chorus

You can [D] offer [G] to the [A] right[D]eous

The [D] good that [A] you have [D] won

But down [D] here a[G]mong the un[A]clean [D]

Your [Bm] good just [A] comes un[D]done

Your [D] good just [G] comes un[A]done

Solo on Verse

The [D] sisters [G] at the [A] border[D]line

They're [D] holding [A] out their [D] hands

They're [D] begging [G] me for [A] something [D] Lord

But [Bm] I don't [A] under[D]stand

[D] I don't [G] under[A]stand

So it's [D] adi[G]os to [A] Alver[D]o

Tell him to [D] stay be[A]tween the [D] lines

And if he [D] sees that [G] Gabri[A]ella [D] girl

Tell her [Bm] I'll look her [A] up next [D] time

Say I'll [D] look her [G] up next [A] time

Because the [D] road to [G] Ensen[A]ada [D]

[D] Is plenty [A] wide and [D] fast

[D] And this [G] time through [A] Tiju[D]ana

Well [Bm] it won't [A] be my [D] last

[D] It won't [G] be my [A] last

Chorus

You [G] ain't no [A] friend to [D] me
