The Road to Ensenada Lyle Lovett

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
