Lyle Lovett nacio el dia 1 de Noviembre de 1957. Hijo de un ejecutivo de marketing y de una entrenadora deportiva, se educó en la universidad A&M de Texas, donde estudió periodismo y lengua alemana. Su carrera en la música comenzó como compositor, y en 1986 firmó con MCA Records para grabar su primer álbum homónimo 'Lyle Lovett'. Aunque normalmente asociado al género country, sus composiciones incorporan a menudo elementos del folk, swing, blues, jazz y gospel, así como el más puro y tradicional country & western.

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] 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
