Bob Dylan - Brownsville Girl Knocked Out Loaded (1986) [Intro] D A/C# Bm E A Asus2 x2 [Verse]
AWell, there was this movie I seen one tDime ABmbout a man riding 'cross the desert and it Estarred Gregory PAeck AHe was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a Dname for himself The Bmtownspeople wanted to crush that kid down and sEtring him up by the Aneck
AWell, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pDulp BmAs the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gEasped for his last bAreath ATurn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair andD square BmI want him to feel what it's like to every momentE face his deaAth
AWell, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rollinDg in BmAnd you know it blows right through me like a Eball and chaAin AYou know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so farD apart BmThe memory of you keeps callin' after me like Ea rollin' traAin
AI can still see the day that you came to me on the paintDed desert BmIn your busted down Ford and your plEatform heelAs AI could never figure out why you chose that particular place to mDeet BmAh, but you were right, it was perfect as I got inE behind the wheeAl
AWell, we drove that car all night into San AnDton' BmAnd we slept near the Alamo, your skin was Eso tender and sAoft AWay down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you nDever came back BmI would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like lettEing my head get bloAwn off
AWell, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over theD Rockies BmNow I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got thatE dark rhythm in her Asoul ABut I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was yourD only man BmAnd she don't want to remind me, she knows this car wouldE go out of contArol
[Chorus]
ABrownsville girl with your BrownsDville curls BmTeeth like pearls shinEing like the moon aAbove ABrownsville girl, show me all around theD world BmBrownsville girl, youE're my honey lAove
[Verse]
AWell, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards ADmarillo BmWe pulled up where Henry Porter used to live, he Eowned a wreckin' lot outside of town aboAut a mile ARuby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back She saw us come rolDling up in a trail of dust BmShe said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in,E he'll be back in a littleA while
AThen she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of bummin' a ride back to whereA she started BmBut she changed the subject every timeE money came uAp AShe said, welcome to the land of the living dead, you could tell she was so broAken-hearted BmShe said, even the swap meets around here are geEtting pretty coArrupt
AHow far are y'all going, Ruby asked us with a siDgh BmWe're going all the way 'til the wheels fEall off and buArn A'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moDccasin dies BmRuby just smiled and said, ah, you know someE babies never learAn
ASomething about that movie though, well I just can't get it out oDf my head BmBut I can't remember why I was in it or what part I wEas supposed to pAlay AAll I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way peoplDe moved BmAnd a lot of them seemed to be looEkin' my waAy
[Chorus]
ABrownsville girl with your BrownsDville curls BmTeeth like pearls shinEing like the moon aAbove ABrownsville girl, show me all around theD world BmBrownsville girl, youE're my honey lAove
[Verse]
AWell, they were looking for somebody with a poDmpadour BmI was crossin' the street when shEots rang out A AI didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I rDan BmWe got him cornered in the churchyard, I Eheard somebody shoAut
AWell, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune, underneath it, it said, a man Dwith no alibi BmYou went out on a limb to testify for me, yEou said I was with Ayou AThen when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry realD tears BmIt was the best acting I saw Eanybody do A
ANow I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass, but sometimes you just find yourself over theD line BmOh if there's an original thought out there, I could uEse it right nAow AYou know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much, I could feel a Dwhole lot better BmIf you were just here by my sEide to show me hoAw
AWell, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring GregDory Peck BmYeah, but you know it's not the one thEat I had in miAnd AHe's got a new one out now, I don't even know what it'sD about BmBut I'll see him in anything so I'Ell stand in liAne
[Chorus]
ABrownsville girl with your BrownsDville curls BmTeeth like pearls shinEing like the moon aAbove ABrownsville girl, show me all around theD world BmBrownsville girl, youE're my honey lAove
AYou know, it's funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em plaDnned BmThe only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter isE that his name wasn't Henry PAorter AAnd you know there was somethin' about you baby that I liked that was always too good Dfor this world BmJust like you always said there was something about me yEou liked that I left behind in the FrencAh Quarter
AStrange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who arDe most content BmI don't have any regrets, they can talk about Eme plenty when I'm gonAe AYou always said people don't do what they believe in they just do what's most convenient, thenD they repent BmAnd I always said, hang on to me, baby, aEnd let's hope that the roof stayAs on
AThere was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through itD twice BmI don't remember who I was or wEhere I was bouAnd AAll I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in theD back BmSeems like a long time ago, long before theE stars were torn dowAn
[Chorus]
ABrownsville girl with your BrownsDville curls BmTeeth like pearls shinEing like the moon aAbove ABrownsville girl, show me all around theD world BmBrownsville girl, youE're my honey lAove
