Tuning: G C E A
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 14:21:29 -0500 From: Brian Davies To: guitar@olga.net 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. THE ROAD TO ENSENADA by Lyle Lovett Transcribed by Brian Davies Comments and corrections to davies@ils.nwu.edu
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

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
