Bob Dylan
Spanish Harlem Incident (1964)
(Dylan)

From: "Another Side of Bob Dylan"

Here is what I could figure out from the recording. Chords and lyrics are
below. Before, I tried to tab some of the voicings, links and licks that
are played. These may be left out by beginners but could be helpful if you
want to make the guitar part more interesting and lively. Enjoy!

I am homeless, come and take me
C/D   G/D           C/D      D     [= LINK]
 Into reach of your rattling drums

 Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
G       C            G
 I have fallen far beneath
G            C                 G
 Your pearly eyes, so fast an’ slashing
G         D*       C*       G
 An’ your flashing diamond teeth
