Senor  Bob Dylan

##song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. ##From: Winston Campbell ##This is the sixth song off of Dylan~s underrated -Street Legal- album.  I#what one should remember about this is that there are a lot of bass walk-#example, is that, say the song moves from C to Am, the bass goes C, B, A#what does this have to do with chord progression that he is about to#one chord is being played and that is normally the bass walking down.  I may#paragraph (as would what I would do if I were reading it).  Another thing#Dylan~s lyrics especially in the bridges.  So the lyrics are not exactly what#should buy or take out of the library the Bob Dylan lyric book (which was#[Am]Senor,


[Em]Senor,


Can you [F]tell me where we [C]heading?


Lincoln County Road or Armaged[Am]don?


Seems like I been [G]down this way be[F]fore


[Dm]Is there any truth in that, [Am]Senor?


[Am]Senor,


[Em]Senor,


Do you [F]know where she~s [C]hiding?


How long are we gonna be [Am]riding?


How long must I keep my [G]eyes glued to the [F]door?


[Dm]Will there be any comfort here, [Am]Senor?


There~s a [C]wicked wind still blowing on that [Em]upper deck


           F                                  Am*


There~s an iron cross still hanging down from around her neck


There~s a [C]marching band still playing in their [Em]vacant lot


          F                                      Am*


Where she held me in her arms one time and said -forget what we got-


[Am]Senor,


[Em]Senor,


I can [F]see the painted [C]wagon


Smell the tail of a [Am]dragon


Can~t stand the [G]suspense any[F]more


Can you [Dm]tell me who to contact here, [Am]Senor?


Instrumental:  all of the verse chords with the cool mandolin


Well the [C]last thing I remember before they [Em]stripped and kneeled


      F                                  Am*


Was a train load of fools born down in a Maganatic(?) field


The [C]gypsy, where he broke a pike and a [Em]flashing ring


         F                                        Am*


He say, -Son this ain~t a dream no more, it~s the real thing-


[Am]Senor,


[Em]Senor,


You know their [F]hearts here are hard as [C]leather


Well give me a minute, let me [Am]get it together


Just gotta [G]pick myself up off the [F]floor


[Dm]I~m ready when you are, [Am]Senor?


Another Instrumental like the First Instrumental


[Am]Senor,


[Em]Senor,


Let~s [F]overturn these [C]tables


Disconnect these [Am]cables


[G]This place don~t make sense to me no [F]more


Can you [Dm]tell me what we~re waiting for, [Am]Senor?


The song fades out and ends on the verse chords and that is about it.


The Am* chords are played by striking the Am chord, then you release all your


fingers so that you strike all open strings (except for the low E and A


strings), then you strike back on the Am chord.  It may not be accurate but


that is how I make sense out of that part of the song).


Feel free to email me and we can discuss why Bob Dylan rushes his lyrics


while playing in concert, making his songs lose all of their bite.  (Or maybe


it's just me).  Oh yeah, I must not disrespect the Spanish language by not


nothing that there is a tilda over the "n" in Senor.  That is all.
