A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALLBob Dylan

1. Strophe:C C4 C C4 COh, were have you been, my blue-eyed son? C G7Oh, were have you been, my darling young one? F G7 CI've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, F G7 CI've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, F G7 CI've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, F G7 CI've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, F G7 CI've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard.

Refrain: C G7 C FAnd its's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard. C G7 C C4 CAnd it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

2. Strophe:Oh what did you see, my blue-eyed son?And what did you see, my darling young oneI saw a new born baby with wild wolves all around it,I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it;I saw a black branch with blood that kept dripping,I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleeding,I saw a white ladder all covered with water,I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,I saw guns and harp swords in the hands of young children.Refrain:

3. Strophe:And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?And what did you hear, my darling young one?I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warning,I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing,I heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listening,I heard one person starve,

A hard rain's a-gonna fall

Page 3: Bob dylan songbook

I heard many people laughing,I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley.Refrain:

4. Strophe:Oh who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?And who did you meet, my darling young one?I met a young child beside a dead pony,I met a white man who walked a black dog,I met a young woman whose body was burning,I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,I met one man who was wounded in love,I met another man who was wounded in hatred.Refrain:

5. Strophe:And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?And what'll you do now, my darling young one?I'm a going back out before the rain starts a-falling,I'll walk to the depth of the deepest dark forest,Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,And the executioner's face is always well hidden,Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten,Where black is the colour, where none is the number,And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it,And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it,Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking,But I'll know my song well before I start singing:Refrain:

A hard rain's a-gonna fall

Abandoned Love

Bob Dylan

Intro: G D GMy heart is telling me, I love you still

G EmI can see the turning of the key C DI've been deceived by the clown inside of me Bm CI thought that he was righteous but he's vainG D GSomething's telling me, I wear the ball and chain

G EmMy patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost C DHe's always off somewhere when I need him most Bm CThe Spanish moon is rising on the hillG D GBut something's telling me, I love you still

G EmI come back to the town from the flaming ruins C DBut when I see you in the street I begin to swoon Bm CI love to see you dress before the mirrorG D GWon't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear

G EmEverybody's wearing a disguise C DTo hide what they've got left behind their eyes Bm C

Abandoned Love

Page 5: Bob dylan songbook

But me I can't cover what I amG D GWherever their children go, I'll follow them

G EmI'm marching the parade of liberty C DBut as long as I love you I'm not free Bm CHow long must I suffer such abuseG D GWon't you let me see you smile, before I turn you loose

G EmI've given up the game I've got to leave C DThe pot of gold is only make believe Bm CThe treasure can't be found by men who searchG D GWho's gods are dead and whose queens are in the church

G EmWe sat in an empty theater and we kissed C DI asked you please to cross me off your list Bm CMy head tells me it's time to make a changeG D GBut my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange

**Harmonica Solo: Same Chords As Verse

G EmSo one more time at midnight near the wall C DTake off your heavy makeup and your shawl Bm CWon't you descend from the throne from whence you sitG D GAnd let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it

Am G F G Am No reason to get excited Am G F G Am The thief he kindly spoke Am G F G Am There are many here among us Am G F G Am Who feel that life is but a joke Am G F G Am But you and I we've been through that Am G F G Am And this is not our place Am G F G Am So let us stop talking falsely now Am G F G Am The hour's getting late

Angelina / Bob Dylan

C F C1. Farewell Angeline, the bells of the crown F C are being stole by bandits, I must follow the sound F G The triangle tingles, the music plays slow Am Em Am Em F C But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go.

2. There is no use in talking and there's no need for blame There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same The table stands empty by the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina, the sky's changing colors, and I must leave.

3. The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard In the space where the duece and the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I'll see you after a while.

4. See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun And the coporels and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast.

5. Kong Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance Valentino-type tangos while the hero's clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass anyone Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone.

6. The camoflaged parrot, he flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears What can not be imitated perfect must die Farewell Angelina, the sky's flooding over, and I must go where it's dry.

7. Machine guns are roaring, puppets have rocks At misunderstood visions and the faces of clocks Call me any name you like, I will never deny it But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it's quiet.

Angelina

Bob Dylan's Dream

Bob Dylan

G Am While riding on a train going west C D I fell asleep for to take my rest. D7 D G I dreamed a dream that made me sad Am D C G Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

G Am With half damp eyes I stared to the room C DWhere my friends and I spent many an afternoon, D7 D GWhere we together weathered many a storm, Am D C G Laughing and singing 'till the early hours of the morn.

G Am By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung, C DOur words were told and our songs were sung; D7 D GWe longed for nothing and were satisfied Am D C G Talking and joking about the world outside.

G Am With haunted hearts through the heat and cold, C DWe never thought we could get very old D7 D GWe thought we could sit forever in fun Am D C G Though our chances really were a million to one.

G Am As easy it was to tell black from white,

Page 16: Bob dylan songbook

It was all that easy to tell wrong from right; D7 D GOur choices were few and the thought never hit Am D C G That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.

G Am Ah many a year has passed and gone, C DAnd many a gamble has been lost and won; D7 D GAnd many a road taken by many a friend, Am D C G And each one of them I've never seen again.

G Am I wish, I wish, I wish in vain, C DThat we could sit simply in that room once again; D7 D GTen thousand dollars at the drop of a hat, Am D C G I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.

G Am While riding on a train going west C D I fell asleep for to take my rest. D7 D G I dreamed a dream that made me sad Am D C G Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

G6 D G6 DLife is sad, life is a bust,G6 D G6 D All you can do is do what you must.G DYou do what you must do and you do it well,A G F#m A7/E DI'll do it for you, honey baby, can't you tell.

Changing Of The Guards

Bob Dylan

Intro: Ab

FmSixteen years, Ab Eb FmSixteen banners united over the fields Db EbWhile the good shepherd grieves Fm Ab EbDesperate men, desperate women divided, Fm Db Eb AbSpreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.

FmFortune calls. Ab Eb FmI stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace, Db Eb FmMerchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down. Ab Eb FmShe's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born, Db Eb AbOn midsummer's eve, near the tower.

**Interlude

FmThe cold-blooded moon. Ab EbThe captain waits above the celebration Fm Db EbSending his thoughts to a beloved maid Fm Ab EbWhose ebony face is beyond communication. Fm Db Eb AbThe captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

Page 20: Bob dylan songbook

FmThey shaved her head. Ab EbShe was torn between Jupiter and Apollo. Fm Db EbA messenger arrived with a black nightingale. Fm Ab EbI seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow, Fm Db Eb AbFollow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

**Interlude

FmI stumbled to my feet. Ab EbI rode past destruction in the ditches Fm Db EbWith the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo. Fm Ab EbRenegade priests and treacherous young witches Fm Db Eb AbWere handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

FmThe palace of mirrors Ab EbWhere dog soldiers are reflected, Fm Db EbThe endless road and the wailing of chimes, Fm Ab EbThe empty rooms where her memory is protected, Fm Db Eb AbWhere the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

**Interlude

FmShe wakes him up Ab EbForty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking

Page 21: Bob dylan songbook

Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks. Fm Ab EbShe's begging to know what measures he now will be taking Fm Db Eb AbHe's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.

FmGentlemen, he said, Ab Eb FmI don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes, Db EbI've moved your mountains and marked your cards Fm Ab EbBut Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination Fm Db Eb AbOr else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

**Interlude

FmPeace will come Ab Eb FmWith tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire Db Eb FmBut will offer no reward when her false idols fall Ab Eb FmAnd cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Db Eb AbBetween the King and the Queen of Swords.

Fm Ab Eb Fm...

Desolation Row

Bob Dylan

DThey're selling postcards of the hanging. G DThey're painting the passports brown. A7The beauty parlour's filled with sailors.G DThe circus is in town.DHere comes the blind commissioner. G DThey've got him in a trance. A7One hand's tied to the tightrope walker.G DThe other is in his pants. GAnd the riot squad they're restless DThey need some where to go. D A7As lady and I look out tonightG DOn Desolation Row.

DCinderella she seem so easy. G DIt takes on to know one she smiles. A7Then puts her hand in her back pocket,G DBetty Davis style.DThen in comes Romeo he's moaning. G DYou Belong to me I believe. A7And someone says your in the wrong place my friend

Page 24: Bob dylan songbook

G DYou better leave. GAnd the only sound that's left DAfter the ambulances go. D A7Is Cinderella sweeping upG DOn Desolation Row.

DNow the moon is almost hidden G DThe stars are beginning to hide A7The fortune telling ladyG DHas already taken all her things inside.DAll except for Cane and Able G DAnd the Hunch Back of Notre Dame A7Everyone is making loveG DOr else expecting rain GAnd the good Samaritan he's dressing DHe's gettin ready for the show. D A7He's going to the carnivalG DTonight on Desolation Row.

DNow Ophelia she's 'neath the window. G DFor her I feel so afraid. A7On her twenty-second birthdayG DShe already is an old maid.

Page 25: Bob dylan songbook

DTo her death is quite romantic. G DShe wears an iron vest. A7Her profession's her religion,G DHer sin is her lifelessness. GAnd though her eyes are fixed upon DNoah's great rainbow D A7She spends her time peekingG DInto Desolation Row.

DEinstein disguised as Robin Hood G DWith his memories in a trunk A7Passed this way an hour agoG DWith his friend a jealous monk.DHe looked so frightful G DAs he bummed a cigarette A7Then went off sniffing drain pipesG DAnd reciting the alphabet. GNo you would not think to look at him DThat he was famous long ago D A7For playing electric violinG DOn Desolation Row.

DDoctor filth he keeps his word

Page 26: Bob dylan songbook

G DInside a leather cup A7But all his sexless patientsG DAre trying to blow it up.DNow his nurse a local looser G DShe's in charge of the cyanide hole A7And she also keeps the cards that readG DHave mercy on his soul. GThey all play on penny whistles DYou can hear them blow D A7If you lean your head out far enoughG DFrom Desolation Row

DAcross the street they've nailed the curtains G DThey're gettin ready for the feast A7The phantom of the operaG DA perfect image of a priestDThey're spoon feedin Casanova G DTo get him to feel more assured A7Then they'll killed him with self confidenceG DAfter poisoning him with words GAnd the phantom shouting to skinning girls DGet outta her don't you know D A7Casanova is just being punished

Page 27: Bob dylan songbook

G DFor going to Desolation Row.

DNow at midnight all the agents G DAnd the superhuman crews A7Round up everyoneG DThat knows more than they do.DThen they bring them to the factory G DWhere the heart attack machines A7Is strapped across their shouldersG DAnd then the kerosene GIs brought down from the castles DBy insurance men that go D A7Check to see that nobody is escapingG DTo Desolation Row

DPraise be to Nero's Neptune G DThe Titanic sails at dawn A7And everybody shoutingG DWhich side are you onDAnd Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot G DFighting in the captains tower A7While calypso signers laugh at themG DAnd fishermen hold flowers

Page 28: Bob dylan songbook

GBetween the windows of the sea DWhere lovely mermaids flow D A7And nobody has to think too muchG DAbout Desolation Row

DYes I received your letter yesterday G DAbout the time the door knob broke. A7When you asked me how I wasG DWas that some kind of joke.DAll those people that you mention G DYes I know them they're quite lame. A7I had to rearrange their facesG DAnd give them all another name. GRight now I can't read too good DDon't send me no more letters no. D A7Not unless you mail them fromG DDesolation Row.

Dirge

Bob Dylan

Intro: Gm Cm Gm Cm

Dm Gm Dm GmI hate myself for lovin' you And the weakness that I showed ...Dm Gm Dm AmYou were just a painted face On a trip down Suicide Road.Bb Dm GmThe stage was set, the lights went out All around the old hotelBb Eb Bb Cm GmI hate myself for lovin' you And I'm glad the curtain fell.

Dm Gm Dm GmI hate that foolish game we played And the need that was expressedDm Gm Dm AmAnd the mercy that you showed to me Whoever would have guessedBb Dm GmI went out on Lower Broadway And I felt that place within Bb Eb Bb Cm GmThat hollow place where martyrs weep And angels play with sin

Dm Gm Dm GmHeard your songs of freedom And man forever strippedDm Gm Dm AmActing out his folly While his back is being whippedBb Dm GmLike a slave in orbit He's beaten 'til he's tameBb Eb Bb Cm GmAll for a moment's glory And it's dirty, rotten shame

Dm Gm Dm GmThere are those who worship loneliness I'm not one of themDm Gm Dm AmIn this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gemBb Dm GmThe crystal ball up on the wall Hasn't shown me nothing yetBb Eb Bb Cm GmI've paid the price of solitude But at least I'm out of debt

Page 33: Bob dylan songbook

Dm Gm Dm GmCan't recall a useful thing You ever did for meDm Gm Dm Am'Cept pat me on the back one time When I was on my kneesBb Dm GmWe stared into each other's eyes 'Til one of us would breakBb Eb Bb Cm GmNo use to apologize What diff'rence would it make

Dm Gm Dm GmSo sing your praise of progress And of the Doom MachineDm Gm Dm AmThe naked truth is still tabu Whenever it can be seenBb Dm GmLady Luck who shines on me Will tell you where I'm atBb Eb Bb Cm GmI hate myself for lovin' you But I should get over that

Everything Is Broken

Bob Dylan

E7Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs A7 E7 Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds B7 A7Ain't no use jivin', ain't no use jokin' E7Everything is broken

E7Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates A7 E7 Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts B7 A7Broken words never meant to be spoken E7Everything is broken

E7Seems like every time you stop and turn around A7Something else has just hit the ground

E7Broken cutters, broken saws, broken buckles, broken laws A7 E7 Broken bodies, broken bones, broken voices on broken phones B7 A7Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin' E7Everything is broken

E7Every time you leave and go off some place A7Things fall to pieces in my face

FAREWELL ANGELINADYLAN, BOB

/C /C7 /F /C 1. Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown /Am /Em /F /C Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound /C /C7 /F /G The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow /Am /Em /Am /Em /F /G Farewell Angelina, the sky is on fire and I must go 2. There's no need for anger, there's no need for blame There's nothing to prove, everything's still the same Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea Means farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling and I must leave 3. The jacks and the queens have forsaked the courtyard 52 gipsies now file past the guards In the space were the deuce and the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina, the sky is falling, I'll see you in a while 4. See the crosseyed pirates sitting perched in the sun Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbours they clap and they cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina, the sky is changing color and I must leave fast 5. King Kong little elves on the roof tops they dance Valentino-type tangoes while they make-up man's hands Shut the eyes of the dead, not to embarass anyone But farewell Angelina, the sky is embarassed and I must go 6. The machine guns are roaring and the puppets hear rocks And friends nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like, I will never deny it But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet

Girl From The North Country

Bob Dylan

G C D GWell, if you're travellin' in the north country fair,GWhere the winds hit heavy on the borderline C GRemember me to one who lives thereG C D GShe once was a true love of mine.

G C D GWell, if you go in the snowflake stormGWhen the rivers freeze and summer ends C GPlease see she has a coat so warmG C D GTo keep her from the howlin' winds.

G C D GPlease see for me if her hair hangs longGIf it rolls and flows all down her breast, C GPlease see for me if her hair hangs long,G C D GThat's the way I remember her best.

G C D GI'm a wonderin' if she remembers me at allGMany times I've often prayed C GIn the darkness of my nightG C D GIn the brightness of my day.

Hurricane

Bob Dylan

Intro: Am F Am F

Am FPistol shots ring out in the bar room nightAm FEnter Patty Valentine from the upper hallAm FShe sees the bartender in a pool of bloodAm FCries out "My God they killed them all!"C FHere comes the story of the Hurricane,C FThe man the authorities came to blameDm CFor something that he never doneDm C Put in a prison cell but one time Em Am F C G Am F Am FHe could have been the champion of the world

Am FThree bodied lying there does Patty seeAm FAnd another man named Bello moving mysteriouslyAm F"I didn't do it" he says, and he throws up his handsAm F"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understandC FI saw them leavin'," he says and he stopsC FOne of us had better call the copsDm CSo Patty calls the copsDm CAnd they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'Em Am F C G Am F Am FIn the hot New Jersey night

Page 47: Bob dylan songbook

Am FMeanwhile somewhere in another part of townAm FRubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving aroundAm FNumber one contender for the middleweight crownAm FHad no idea what kind of shit was about to go downC FWhen a cop pulled him over on the side of the roadC FJust like the time before and the time before thatDm CIn Paterson that just the ways things goDm CIf you black you might as well not show up on the streets Em Am F C G Am F Am FLess you wanna draw the heat

Am FAlfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the copsAm FHim and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' aroundAm FHe said "I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middle-weightsAm FThey jumped into a white car with out of state plates"C FAnd Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her headC FCop said "Wait a minute boys, this one's not dead"Dm CSo they took him to the infirmaryDm CAnd although this man could hardly seeEm Am F C G Am F Am FThey told him that he could identify the guilty men

Am FFour in the morning and they haul Rubin inAm FTake him to the hospital and bring him upstairsAm FThe wounded man looks up though his one dying eye

Page 48: Bob dylan songbook

Am FSays "why'd you bring him here for? He ain't the guy!"C FYes, here the story of the HurricaneC FThe man the authorities came to blame Dm CFor something that he never doneDm CPut in a prison cell but one time he could've beenEm Am F C G Am F Am FThe champion of the world

Am FFour months later the ghetto's in flame Am FRubin's in South America fightin' for his nameAm FWhile Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery gameAm FAnd the cops are puttin' the screw to him looking for somebody to blameC F"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"C F"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"Dm C"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"Dm C"Think it might have been that fighter that you saw running that night?"Em Am F C G Am F Am F"Don't forget that you are white"

Am FArthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure"Am FCops said "A poor boy like you could really use a breakAm FWe got you for the motel job and were talking to your friend BelloAm FNow you don't want to have to go back to jail, be a nice fellowC FYou'll be doin' society a favor C FThat son of a bitch is brave and getting braver

Page 49: Bob dylan songbook

Dm CWe want to put his ass in the stirDm CWe want to pin this trip murder on himEm Am F C G Am F Am FHe ain't no Gentleman Jim"

Am FRubin could take a man out with just one punchAm FHe never did like to talk about it all that muchAm FIt's my work he'd say, I do it for payAm FAnd when it's over I'd just as soon go on my wayC FUp to some paradiseC FWhere the trout streams flow and the air is niceDm CAnd ride a horse along a trailDm CBut then they took him to the jail house Em Am F C G Am F Am FWhere they try to make a man into a mouse

Am FAll of Rubin's card were marked in advanceAm FThe trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chanceAm FThe judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slumsAm FTo the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bumC Fbut to the black folks he was a crazy niggerC FNo one doubted that he pulled the triggerDm CAnd though they could not produce the gunDm CThe D.A. said he was the one who did the deedEm Am F C G Am F Am FAnd the all-white jury agreed

Page 50: Bob dylan songbook

Am FRubin Carter was falsely triedAm FThe crime was murder "one", guess who testified?Am FBello and Bradley and the both badly liedAm FAnd the newspapers all went along for the rideC FHow can the life of such a manC F Be in the palm of some fool's hand?Dm CTo see him obviously framedDm CCouldn't help but be ashamed to live in a landEm Am F C G Am F Am FWhere justice is a game

Am FNow all the criminal in their coats and their tiesAm FAre free to drink martinis and watch the sun riseAm FWhile Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten foot cellAm FAnd innocent man in a living hellC FThat's the story of the HurricaneC FBut it won't be over till they clear him nameDm CAnd give him back the time he's doneDm CPut in a prison cell but one time he could've beenEm Am F C G Am F Am FThe champion of the world

I Want You

Bob Dylan

FThe guilty undertaker sighs, AmThe lonesome organ grinder cries, Dm CThe silver saxophone's say I should refuse you. BbThe cracked bells and washed-out horns CBlow into my face with scorn, DmBut it's not that way, CI wasn't born to lose you. F AmI want you, I want you, Dm CI want you so bad, FHoney, I want you.

FThe drunken politician leaps AmUpon the street where mothers weep DmAnd the saviors who are fast asleep, CThey wait for you. BbAnd I wait for them to interruptCMe drinkin' from that broken cup DmAnd ask me to COpen up the gate for you. F AmI want you, I want you,

Page 56: Bob dylan songbook

I want you so bad, FHoney, I want you.

Am Now all my fathers, they've gone down,Dm True love they've been without it. AmBut all their daughters put me down Bb C'Cause I don't think about it.

FWell, I return to the Queen of Spades AmAnd talk with my chambermaid.DmShe knows that I'm not afraid CTo look at herBbShe is good to meCAnd there's nothing she doesn't see. DmShe knows where I'd like to beCBut it doesn't matter. F AmI want you, I want you, Dm CI want you so bad FHoney, I want you.

FNow your dancing child with his Chinese suit, AmHe spoke to me, I took his flute.DmNo, I wasn't very cute to him,

Isis

Bob Dylan

Bb Ab Eb BbI married Isis on the fifth day of May Ab Eb BbBut I could not hold on to her very long Ab Eb BbSo I cut off my hair and I rode straight away Ab Eb BbFor the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong

Bb Ab Eb BbI came to a high place of darkness and light Ab Eb BbThe dividing line ran through the centre of town Ab Eb BbSo I hitched up my pony to a post on the right Ab Eb BbWent into a laundry to wash my clothes down

Bb Ab Eb BbA man in the corner approached me for a match Ab Eb BbI knew right away he was not ordinary Ab Eb BbHe said "Are you lookin' for something easy to catch?" Ab Eb BbI said "I ain't got no money",He said "That ain't necessary".

Bb Ab Eb BbWe set out that night for the cold in the North. Ab Eb BbI gave him my blanket, he gave me his word Ab Eb BbI said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth. Ab Eb BbI said "That's the best news I ever heard."

Page 64: Bob dylan songbook

I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold. Ab Eb BbI was thinking about diamonds and the worlds biggest necklace. Ab Eb BbAs we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold, Ab Eb BbI was thinking about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless.

Bb Ab Eb BbHow she told me that one day we'd meet up again, Ab Eb BbAnd thing would be different the next time we wed. Ab Eb Bb If I only hang on and just be her friend. Ab Eb BbI still can't remember all the best things she said.

Bb Ab Eb BbWe came to the pyramids all embedded in ice. Ab Eb BbHe said "There's a body I'm trying to find, Ab Eb BbIf I carry it out it'll fetch a good price." Ab Eb BbTwas then that I knew what he had on his mind.

Bb Ab Eb BbThe wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous. Ab Eb BbWe chopped through he night and we chopped through he dawn. Ab Eb BbWhen he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious, Ab Eb BbBut I made up my mind that I had to go on.

Bb Ab Eb BbI broke into the tomb but the casket was empty Ab Eb BbThere were no jewels no nothing, I felt I'd been had. Ab Eb BbWhen I saw that my partner was just being friendly,

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Page 65: Bob dylan songbook

When I took up his offer I must-a been mad

Bb Ab Eb BbI picked up his body and I dragged it inside, Ab Eb BbThrew down into the hole and I put back the cover. Ab Eb BbI said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied Ab Eb BbThen I rode back to Isis just to tell her I love her.

Bb Ab Eb BbShe was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise. Ab Eb BbBlinded by sleep and in need of a bed. Ab Eb BbI came in from the East with the sun in my eyes. Ab Eb BbI cursed one time then rode on ahead.

Bb Ab Eb BbShe said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special." Ab Eb BbShe said "You look different." I said "Well I guess." Ab Eb BbShe said "You been gone." I said "That's only natural." Ab Eb BbShe said "You gonna stay." I said "Well if you want me to yes."

Bb Ab Eb BbIsis oh Isis you're a mystical child Ab Eb BbWhat drives me to you is what drives me insane Ab Eb BbI still can remember the way that you smiled Ab Eb BbOn the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain

Am GYou must leave now take what you need you think will lastAm GBut whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fastAm GYonder stands your orphan with his gunAm GCrying like a fire in the sun.Em DLook out the Saints are comin' throughAm D GAnd it's all over now, Baby steelblue.

Am GThe highway is for gamblers, better use your senseAm GTake what you have gathered from coincidenceAm GThe empty handed painter from your streetsAm GIs drawing crazy patterns on your sheetsEm DThis sky too, is folding under youAm D GAnd it's all over now, Baby steelblue.

Am GAll your sea sick sailors, they are rowing homeAm GAll your reindeer armies, are all going homeAm GThe lover who just walked out your doorAm GHas taken all his blankets from the floorEm DThe carpet too, is moving under youAm D GAnd it's all over now, Baby steelblue.

Page 70: Bob dylan songbook

Am GLeave your stepping stone behind, something calls for youAm GForget the dead you've left, they will not follow youAm GThe vagabond who's rapping at your doorAm GIs standing in the clothes that you one woreEm DStrike another match, go start anewAm D GAnd it's all over now, Baby steelblue.

Intro: D9 D D D C C C G C C G G C GWhen you're lost in the rain, in Juarez, and it's Easter time too G C GWhen your gravity fails, and negativity don't pull you through C GDon't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue D C GThey've got some hungry women there and they'll really make a mess out of you **Intro (2x)

G C GIf you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot G C GI cannot move and my fingers, they are all in a knot C GI don't have the strength to get up and take another shot D C GAnd my best, my doctor, won't even say what it is that I've got G C GSweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom G C GShe speaks good English, and she invites you up into her room C GAnd you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon D C GAnd she takes your voice, and leaves you howling at the moon G C GUp on housing project hill, it's either fortune or fame G C GYou must pick one or the other, though neither of them ought to be what they claim C GAnd if you're lookin' to get silly, you better go back to from where you came D C GCause the cops don't need you, and man, they expect the same G C GNow all the authorities, they just stand around and boast G C GHow they blackmailed the sergeant at arms into leaving his post

And picking up Angel, who just arrived here from the coast D C GWho looked so fine at first, but left looking just like a ghost G C GI started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff G C GEverybody said they'd stand behind me when the game got rough C GBut the joke was one me, there was nobody there to even bluff D C GI'm going back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough

LIKE A ROLLING STONEBob Dylan

1. Strophe:C DmOnce upon a time you dressed so fine, C F G7You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?C DmPeople'd call, say "beware doll C F G7You're bound to fall," you thought they were all, kiddin' you?F GYou used to laugh about,F GEv'rybody that was hangin' out',F C Dm CNow you don't talk so loud,F C Dm CNow you don't seem so proud.F GAbout having to be scrounging for your next meal.

Refrain:G C F GHow does it feel,F C F GHow does it feel, F C F GTo be without home, F C F GLike a complete unknown, F C F GLike a Rolling Stone?

2. Strophe:You've gone to the finest school all right Miss Lonely,But you know you only used to get, juiced in it.And nobody's ever taught you how to live on the streetAnd now you're gonna have to get, used to it.You said you'd never, compromiseWith the mystery tramp, but now you realizeHe's not selling any alibisAs you stare into the vacuum of his eyesAnd ask him do want to make a deal?Refrain:

Like a Rolling Stone

Page 81: Bob dylan songbook

3. Strophe:You never turned around to see the frowns on the Jugglers and the clowns,When they all come down, and did tricks for you.You never understood that it ain't no goodYou shouldn't let other people,get your kicks for you.You used ride on the chrome horse with your diplomatWho carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat,Ain't it hard when you discovered thatHe really wasn't where it's atAfter he took from you everything he could steal.Refrain:

4. Strophe:Princess on the steepleAnd all the pretty people're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made.Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and thingsBut you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe,You used to be amusedAt Napoleon in rags and the language that he usedGo to him now, he calls you, you can't refuseWhen you got nothing, you got nothing to lose,You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.Refrain:

Like a Rolling Stone

Intro: Am Am7 Am

Am Am Am7 Am Am7 AmCome you masters of war, you that build the big gunsAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou that build the death planes, you that build all the bombsAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desksAm C G F Am Am7 AmI just want you to know I can see through your masks

Am Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou that never have done nothin' but build to destroyAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou play with my world like it's your little toyAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyesAm C G F Am Am7 AmThen you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

Am Am Am7 Am Am7 AmLike Judas of old you lie and deceiveAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmA world war can't be won, and you want me to believeAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmBut I see through your eyes and I see through your brainAm C G F Am Am7 AmLike I see through the water that runs down my drain

Am Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou that fasten all the triggers for the others to fireAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmThen you sit back and watch while the death count gets higherAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou hide in your mansions while the young people's bloodAm C G F Am Am7 AmFlows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud

Am Am Am7 Am Am7 AmHow much do I know to talk out of turnAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmYou might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearnedAm Am Am7 Am Am7 AmBut there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than youAm C G F Am Am7 AmEven Jesus would never forgive what you do

MR. TAMBOURINE MAN (BOB DYLAN)

F G C F Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, F C F G I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. F G C F Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, C F G C In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

F G C F Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand, C F Vanished from my hand, C F GLeft me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. F G C F My weariness amazes me. I'm branded on my feet, C F I have no one to meet, C F GAnd the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship. My senses have been stripped, My hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering. I'm ready to go anywhere. I'm ready for to fade, Into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, It's just escaping on the run, And but for the sky there are no fences facing. And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme, To your tambourine in time. It's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.

Page 89: Bob dylan songbook

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind. Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted frightened trees, Out to the windy bench,Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, Circled deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

One too many mornings

Bob Dylan

G DDown the street the dogs are barkin'Bm EmAnd the day is getting darkC GAs the night comes in a-fallin'D D9/C D9/H D/A GThe dogs 'll lose their barkG DAs the silent night will shatterBm EmFrom the sounds inside my mindC GFor I'm one too many mornings C C9/H GAnd a thousand miles behind

From the crossroad of my doorstepsMy eyes they start to fadeAs I turn my head back to the roomWhen my love and I have laidAn' I gaze back to the streetThe sidewalk and the signAnd I'm one too many morningsand a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feelingThat don't mean no one no goodWhen ev'rything I'm a-sayingYou can say it just as goodYou're right from your sideI'm right from mineWe're both just one too many morningsAn' a thousand miles behind

One too many mornings - Bob Dylan

POSITIVELY 4TH STREETBob Dylan

1. Strophe:G C Cm GYou got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend.G D C G DWhen I was down you just stood there grinning.

2. Strophe:You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend.You just want to be on the side that's winning.

3. Strophe:You say I let you down you know it's not like that.If you're so hurt why then don't you show it.

4. Strophe:You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at.You had no faith to lose and you know it.

5. Strophe:I know the reason that you talk behind my back.I used to be among the crowd you're in with.

6. Strophe:Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact.With the one who tries to hide when he don't know to begin with.

7. Strophe:You see me on the streets you always act surprised.You say "how are you?", "good luck" but you don't mean it.

8. Strophe:When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed.Why don't you just come out once and scream it.

9. Strophe:No I do not feel that good when I see the heart breaks you embrace.If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them.

10. Strophe:And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place.Don't you understand it's not my problem.

11. Strophe:I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes.And just for that one moment I could be you.

Positively 4th Street

12. Strophe:Yes I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes.You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Rock Salt And Nails

Bob Dylan

Intro: C# C# F# C#

C# On the banks of the river, where the willows hang down, A#m C# Where the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound, A#m C# Down in the hollow where the water runs cold, F# C# It's there I have listened to the lies that you told.

C# Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face. A#m C# The past I remember, time cannot erase. A#m C# The letters you wrote me were written in shame, F# C# And I know that your conscience still echoes my pain.

C# Now the nights are so long, my sorrow runs deep. A#m C# Nothing is worse than a night without sleep. A#m C# I walk out alone, I look at the sky, F# C# Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry.

C# Now if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes, A#m C#m I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes. A#m C# If the ladies were squirrels with them high bushy tails, F# C# I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.

3. Strophe:Come senators, congressmen please heed the callDon't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall.For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled.There's a battle outside and it's ragin'It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,For the times they are a changin'.

4. Strophe:Come mothers and fathers, throughout the landAnd don't criticize what you can't understand.Your sons and your daughters are beyond your commandYour old road is rapidly agin'Please get out of the new on if you can't lend your hand,For the times they are a changin'.

5. Strophe:The line it is drawn the curse it is castThe slow one now will later be fast.As the present now will later be pastThe order is rapidly fadin'And the first one now will later be last.

The times they are a-changin'

For the times they are a changin'.

Wedding Song

Bob Dylan

Am C G I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love, Am C G I love you more than money and more than the stars above, F C D Love you more than madness, more than dreams upon the sea, Am C G Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.

Am C G Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete, Am C G I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street, F C D To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun, Am C G I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.

Am C G You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live, Am C G When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give, F C D Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole, Am C G Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul.

Am C G You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life, Am C G Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife, F C D My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie, Am C G I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.

Page 97: Bob dylan songbook

Am C G The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth, Am C G We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth, F C D What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood, Am C G But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.

Am C G It's never been my duty to remake the world at large, Am C G Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge, F C D 'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend, Am C G And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.

Am C G Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side Am C G And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride, F C D You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece Am C G And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.

Am C G You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see, Am C G Just bein' next to you is a natural thing for me F C D And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on, Am C G 'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.

Situations have ended sad, relationships have all been bad Mine have been like Verlaine and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare all those scenes to this affair You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing Staying far behind without you You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to

I look for you in old Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula You're gonna have to leave me now, I know But I'll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and the ones I love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You´re gonna make me lonesome...
