                Spanish Harlem Incident – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Bob Dylan
From: "Another Side of Bob Dylan" (1964)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

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.

[Verse]
G      C                 G
 Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
G       C               G
 Cannot hold you to its heat
G            C                  G
 Your temperature’s too hot for taming
G             C                       G
 Your flaming feet are burning up the street
C/D  G/D       C/D      G
I am homeless, come and take me
C/D   G/D           C/D      D     [= LINK]
 Into reach of your rattling drums
       G          C/G D*     G
Let me know, babe,   about my fortune
G     C        D*  C*   [ G ]  [= END of VERSE]
 Down along my restless palms

[Verse]
G      C                 G
 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
    C/D      G/D          C/D      G
The night is pitch black, come an’ make my
C/D        G/D      C/D        D     [= LINK]
 Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
         G        C/G    D*     G
Let me know, babe,   I’m nearly drowning
G        C      D*  C*    [ G ]  [= END of VERSE]
 If it’s you my lifelines trace

[Verse]
G       C              G
 I been wond’rin’ all about me
G     C                G
 Ever since I seen you there
       G              C                  G
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I’m riding
G            D*              C*         G
 I know I’m ’round you but I don’t know where
C/D      G/D        C/D      G
You have slayed me, you have made me
C/D       G/D            C/D    D     [= LINK]
 I got to laugh halfways off my heels
         G          C/G      D*     G
I got to know, babe,    will you surround me?
G         C           D*  C* [ G ]   [= END of VERSE] 
 So I can know if I’m really real
