Senor
Words and Music by
Bob Dylan
This is my version of Dylan`s Senor, as played by the Jerry Garcia Band
on the JGB double disc set. It`s probably pretty true to Dylan`s version,
though, although there may be about 1000 more verses that Dylan wrote and
Jerry didn`t sing (Dylan is a rather loquacious songwriter). Each chord
is 1/2 measure (two beats) except for the [F-Em] figure which is 1/2 measure
total. I originally thought that each chord would be one full measure, but
when I listened to it again, I realised that the actual beat was half as
fast as I thought it was. Listen to the recording if you`ve got it and
see if you agree. Just for reference, I counted the recording at about
55-60 bpm.
Also, if anybody can fill me in on the spots where I`ve got ???`s instead
of lyrics, I`d most appreciate it.
