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 broDken
C Viva G MexiCco
My D eyes just G won't stay A oDpen
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 taDble
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 EnsenAada 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 slowDly
And they D look aAround 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 rightDeous
The D good that A you have D won
But down D here aGmong the unAclean D
Your Bm good just A comes unDdone
Your D good just G comes unAdone
Solo on Verse
The D sisters G at the A borderDline
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 underDstand
D I don't G underAstand
So it's D adiGos to A AlverDo
Tell him to D stay beAtween the D lines
And if he D sees that G GabriAella 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 EnsenAada D
D Is plenty A wide and D fast
D And this G time through A TijuDana
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
