Date: Sun, 18 Feb 1996 22:19:10 -0500 (EST)
This is what my friend Antje (who has no clue that I am posting it) and I
got out of the great, greater, the greatest Bob Dylan version (from the
"Dylan" album:
C Em
I knew a man Bojangles
Am A7
And he'd dance for you
F G G7
In worn out shoes
C Em
The silver hair, a ragged shirt
Am A7
And baggy pants
F G G7
The old soft shoe
F G E7 Am A7
He'd jump so high, jump so high
D9 G G7
Then he'd lightly touch down
Am G Am G Am G C Em Am C
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance
The rest of the song follows the same pattern. The lyrics I am posting
are the original J.J. Walker lyrics, Dylan made a slight change here
and there.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
I was down and out
He looked to (Dylan: at) me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life
Then he laughed - slepped his leg a step
He said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick
'Cross the cell
He grabbed his pants,(Dylan: for) a better stance
Oh (Dylan: then) he jumped so high
He clicked his heels
He let go laugh, let go laugh
Shook back his cloth all around
Mr. Bojangles (3x)
Dance
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
Spoke with tears of 15 years
How his dog 'n him travelled about
His dog up and died, his dog up and died
After 20 years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause (Dylan: For) I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and he shook his head
I heard someone ask "Please"
Mr. Bojangles (3x)
Dance
Dance

MR. TAMBOURINE MAN by 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 ain't 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 G
Left 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 G
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
My senses have been stripped,
May 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.
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.

Title: MY BACK PAGES (B. Dylan)
E E5 E E5
E C#m G#m A B E E5
Crimson flames run through my years, flowing high & mighty trapped
E C#m G#m A B
Countless fire and flaming rope, using ideas as my map
C#m G#m A B
We'll meet our own edges soon said I, proud me beaded brow
E A E
CHORUS: Ah but I was so much older then
A B E E5 E E5
I'm younger than that now.
E C#m G#m A B E E5
Half ripe prejudice leapt forth, rip down all hate I scream
E C#m G#m A B
Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed
C#m G#m A B
Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
CHORUS
E C#m G#m A B E E5
In a soldiers stance I aim my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
E C#m G#m A B
During night I become my enemy in the instant that I preach
C#m G#m A B
Sisters fled by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
CHORUS
E C#m G#m A B E E5
The guard stood hard when abstract prints too nobel to neglect
E C#m G#m A B
Deceived me into thinking, I had something to protect
C#m G#m A B
Good and bad I define these terms, why clear, no doubt, somehow.

MY BACK PAGES (Dylan)
D Bm G D
Crimson flames tied through my ears
G D Em7 A7
Rollin' high and mighty traps...
D Bm G D
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
G D Em7 A7
Using i-deas as my maps...
D F#m G D
"We'll meet on edges, soon said," I,
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
Proud 'neath heated brow...
D D7 G D
Ah, but I was so much older then
Em7 A7 G D
I'm young-er than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
"Rip down all hate," I screamed,
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed.
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girl's faces formed the forward path
>From phony jealousy,
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history.
Flung down by corpse evangelist
Unthought of, though, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school.
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach.
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guards stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect.
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
....I think Dylan did it in Eb...
....The Byrds left out the 3rd and 4th verse in their
rendition...
....Amazing isn't it; a song thirty years old and still
just as relevant today.

NOBODY 'CEPT YOU- Bob Dylan
F C F
There's nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
Dm Bb
'Cept you, yeah you
F C F
There's nothing 'round here to me that matters
Dm Bb
'Cept you, yeah you
Bb
You're the one that reaches me

You're the one that I admire

Every time we meet together

I feel like I'm on fire
Bb
Nothing matters to me
F Dm
And there's nothing I desire
Bb Gm
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing 'round here I care to try for, 'cept you, yeah you
Got nothing here to live or die for, except you, yeah you
There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
Old familiar chime, except you, yeah you
BRIDGE:
Bb
Used to run in the cemetery
F
Dance and run and sing but I was a child
C F
And it never seemed strange
Bb
But now I just pass mournfully
F
By that place where bones of life are piled
C F
I know somethin' has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me, except you, yeah you
Nothing any more seems to please me,except you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Everybody's got something to sell
Bb Gm
Except you, yeah you
F
I'm in love with you!

Come and gather round friends and I'll tell you a tale
Am G Am |** |
Of when the red iron ore pits run a-plenty
| | G | | |
But the cardboard filled windows and old men on the benches
Am G Am |**
Tell ya now that the whole town is empty
In the north end of town my own children are grown
But I was raised on the other
In the wee hours of youth my mother took sick
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron ore poured as the years passed the door
The drag lines and shovels, they was hummin'
'Til one day my brother failed to come home
The same as my father before him
With a long winters wait from the window I watched
My friends, they couldn't have been kinder
And my school it was cut as I quit in the spring
To marry John Thomas, a miner
Oh the years passed again and the giving was good
With a lunch bucket filled every season
But with three babies born, the work was cut down
To half a day's shift with no reason
An' the shaft was soon shut and my work was cut
And the fire in the air, it felt frozen
'Til a man come to speak and he said in one week
That number eleven was closing
They complain in the east they payin' to high
They say that your ore ain't worth diggin'
That it's much cheaper down in the South American towns
Where the miners work almost for nothin'
So the minin' gates locked and the red iron rotted
And the room smelled heavy from drinkin'
When the sad silent song made the hour twice as long
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window as he talked to himself
The silence of tongues, it was building
'Til one morning's wake, the bed it was bare
And I's left alone with three children
The summer is gone, the ground's turning cold
The stores one by one they are folding
My children will go as soon as they grow
For there ain't nothin' here now to hold them

words and music by Bob Dylan & Jacques Levy

G Bm C G
Oh sister when I come, to ly in your arms.
G Bm C G
You should not treat me like a stranger.
G Bm C G
Our father would not like the way that you act,
G Bm C G
And you must realize the danger.
Oh sister am I not a brother to you.
And one deserving of affection.
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow his direction.
F C G
We grew up together from the cradle to the grave.
F C G D G
We died and were reborn and left mysteriously saved
Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore.
You may not see me tomorrow.

One More Cup of Coffee
Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy
Am
Your Breath is sweet, your eyes are like
G
Two jewels in the sky
F
Your back is straight your hair is smooth
E
On the pillow where you lie.
Am
But I don't sense affection
G
No gratitude or love.
F E
Your loyalty is not me but to the stars above
Chourus :
F E
One more cup of coffee for the road.
F E
One more cup of coffee for I go,
NC Am G F E
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade.
He'll teach you how to pick an choose
And how to throw the blade.
And he oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude.
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
Chorus
Your sister sees the future
Like your momma and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure know no limits
Your voice is like a meadow larks.
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.
Chours:
Kelwyn
He said thats alright Babe
I love you too.
But we were tangled up in blue.

An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm

PERCY'S SONG
by Bob Dylan
G C
Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep,
G D
Turn, turn, turn again,
G C
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
G C D Em7 D Em7 D
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Tell me, the trouble tell once to my ear,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Oh what's the charge of how this came to be,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Manslaughter in the highest of degree.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Without a reply I left by the moon,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Could ya tell me the facts? I said without fear,
Turn, turn, turn again,
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A crash on the highway flew the car to a field,
Turn, turn, turn again,
There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
But I knew him as good as I'm knowin' myself,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
Turn, turn, turn again,
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again,
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none,
Turn, turn, turn again,
What happened to him could happen to anyone.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
And at that the judge jerked forward and his face it did freeze,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my office now, please."
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,
Turn, turn, turn again,
With no other choice except but for to go.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam,
Turn, turn, turn again,
I walked down the courthouse stairs and I could not understand.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
And I played my guitar through the night to the day,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And the only tune my guitar could play
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."

Positively 4th Street - Dylan
=============================
G Am C G
You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
D C Em7 D
When I was down you just stood there grinning
G Am C G
You got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand
D C Em7 D
You just want to be on the side that's winning
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
You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose and you know it
I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street you always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it
No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand it's not my problem
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
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

QUEEN JANE APPROXIMATELY
Bob Dylan
Dm9 Em F C
When your mother sends back all of your invitations
Dm9 Em F G7
And your father to your sister, he explains
C F C Am
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
C F C F
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
C F C
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you're sick of all this repetition
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
When all of your advisors heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all the other bandits that you turned the other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Dm9 - XX2211
Thanks to the original poster.
Peace,
Paul Z

CORRECTION TO RAINY DAY WOMAN #12 and 35 BY Bob Dylan:
Submitted by: Nick Sprague (nws103@psu.edu)
The A* progression should be moved up one fret it since it is A# not A. This makes the F#* into G* and so on for the rest of the progression.
The line "But I would not feel so all alone" is also slightly off. The progression for that is moved up to a C* to start it. This means that the first chord is C* (10,11,10,x,x,x) the second chord is (11,10,11,10,x,x), the third chord is (10,8,10,9,x,x)
and the fourth is (8,8,9,10,10).

Subject: CRD: Dylan "Ramblin Gamblin Willie"
Rambling, Gambing Willie
Bob Dylan
First line of verse vocals low, 2nd and 3rd vocals go up.
C and F 2 medium downstrokes w/ C then 4 down & up fast
and hold a C before the first verse
C C F C
Come round you rovin gamblers thereТs a story I will tell
C C F C
About the greatest gambler you all should know him well
C C F C
His name was Willie OТConnelly and he gambled all his life
F C F
HeТs had 27 children yet heТs never had a wife
C F C F C F C F
And itТs ride Willie ride, roll Willie roll,
F C F C F C F hold C
Where ever youТre a gamblinТ now nobody knows
Well he gambled in the white house and in the railroad yards
Where ever there was people there was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation as the gamblinest man around
Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie came town
Sailin down the Mississippi to a town called New Orleans
TheyТre still talkin about that card game on that Jackson Queen
УIТve come to win some money,Ф gamblin Willie says
When the game finally ended up, the whole darn boat was his
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek
There was an old poker game lasted about a week
900 miners had laid their money down
When Willie finally left the room he owned the whole darn town.
(verse with harp)
Well Willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true
He supported all his children and all their mothers too
He wore no wings and fancy things that other gamblers wore
He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and poor
When you played your cards with Willie you never really knew
Whether he was bluffin or whether he was true
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his chair
The man he left a diamond flush Willie didnТt even have a pair
It was late one evening during a poker game
A man lost all his money said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head which was a tragic fate
WillieТs cards fell on the floor they were aces backed with eights
So all you ramblin gamblers where ever you might be
The moral of the story is very plain to see
Make your money while you can before you have to stop
Cause when you pull that dead manТs hand your gamblin days are up.
Most of the time
C
She ain~t even in my mind
Am
I wouldn~t know if I saw her
C
She~s that far behind
E
Most of the time
Am
I can~t even be sure
E
If she was ever with me
Am G
Or if I was ever with her
C F
Most of the time, I~m half ways content
C F
Most of the time, I know exactly where it all went
Am
I don~t cheat on myself
F
I don~t run and hide
Am
Hide from the feelings
F
That are buried inside
C F
I don~t compromise and I don~t pretend
Am F
I don~t even care if I ever see her again
C F C F
Most of the time
(fade to end chords: C F C F)

This is what my friend Antje (who has no clue that I am posting it) and I
got out of the great, greater, the greatest Bob Dylan version (from the
"Dylan" album:
C Em
I knew a man Bojangles
Am A7
And he'd dance for you
F G G7
In worn out shoes
C Em
The silver hair, a ragged shirt
Am A7
And baggy pants
F G G7
The old soft shoe
F G E7 Am A7
He'd jump so high, jump so high
D9 G G7
Then he'd lightly touch down
Am G Am G Am G C Em Am C
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance
The rest of the song follows the same pattern. The lyrics I am posting
are the original J.J. Walker lyrics, Dylan made a slight change here
and there.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
I was down and out
He looked to (Dylan: at) me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life
Then he laughed - slepped his leg a step
He said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick
'Cross the cell
He grabbed his pants,(Dylan: for) a better stance
Oh (Dylan: then) he jumped so high
He clicked his heels
He let go laugh, let go laugh
Shook back his cloth all around
Mr. Bojangles (3x)
Dance
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
Spoke with tears of 15 years
How his dog 'n him travelled about
His dog up and died, his dog up and died
After 20 years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause (Dylan: For) I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and he shook his head
I heard someone ask "Please"
Mr. Bojangles (3x)
Dance
Dance

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F C F G
I'm not sleepy and there ain't 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 G
Left 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 G
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
My senses have been stripped,
May 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.
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.

Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
CHORUS

During night I become my enemy in the instant that I preach

Sisters fled by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
CHORUS

The guard stood hard when abstract prints too nobel to neglect

Deceived me into thinking, I had something to protect

Good and bad I define these terms, why clear, no doubt, somehow.

I'm young-er than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
"Rip down all hate," I screamed,
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed.
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girl's faces formed the forward path
>From phony jealousy,
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history.
Flung down by corpse evangelist
Unthought of, though, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school.
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach.
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guards stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect.
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
....I think Dylan did it in Eb...
....The Byrds left out the 3rd and 4th verse in their
rendition...
....Amazing isn't it; a song thirty years old and still
just as relevant today.

There's nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
Dm Bb
'Cept you, yeah you
F C F
There's nothing 'round here to me that matters
Dm Bb
'Cept you, yeah you
Bb
You're the one that reaches me
F
You're the one that I admire
Bb
Every time we meet together
F
I feel like I'm on fire
Bb
Nothing matters to me
F Dm
And there's nothing I desire
Bb Gm
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing 'round here I care to try for, 'cept you, yeah you
Got nothing here to live or die for, except you, yeah you
There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
Old familiar chime, except you, yeah you
BRIDGE:
Bb
Used to run in the cemetery
F
Dance and run and sing but I was a child
C F
And it never seemed strange
Bb
But now I just pass mournfully
F
By that place where bones of life are piled
C F
I know somethin' has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me, except you, yeah you
Nothing any more seems to please me,except you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Everybody's got something to sell
Bb Gm
Except you, yeah you
F
I'm in love with you!

Come and gather round friends and I'll tell you a tale
Am G Am |** |
Of when the red iron ore pits run a-plenty
| | G | | |
But the cardboard filled windows and old men on the benches
Am G Am |**
Tell ya now that the whole town is empty
In the north end of town my own children are grown
But I was raised on the other
In the wee hours of youth my mother took sick
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron ore poured as the years passed the door
The drag lines and shovels, they was hummin'
'Til one day my brother failed to come home
The same as my father before him
With a long winters wait from the window I watched
My friends, they couldn't have been kinder
And my school it was cut as I quit in the spring
To marry John Thomas, a miner
Oh the years passed again and the giving was good
With a lunch bucket filled every season
But with three babies born, the work was cut down
To half a day's shift with no reason
An' the shaft was soon shut and my work was cut
And the fire in the air, it felt frozen
'Til a man come to speak and he said in one week
That number eleven was closing
They complain in the east they payin' to high
They say that your ore ain't worth diggin'
That it's much cheaper down in the South American towns
Where the miners work almost for nothin'
So the minin' gates locked and the red iron rotted
And the room smelled heavy from drinkin'
When the sad silent song made the hour twice as long
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window as he talked to himself
The silence of tongues, it was building
'Til one morning's wake, the bed it was bare
And I's left alone with three children
The summer is gone, the ground's turning cold
The stores one by one they are folding
My children will go as soon as they grow
For there ain't nothin' here now to hold them

No I won't
You know I can if you can, honey
But honey, please don't
I got my black dog barkin', black dog barkin'
Yes it is now, yes it is now
Outside my yard
Yes, I could tell you what he means
If I just didn't have to try so hard
Your mama's workin',your mama's moanin'
She's cryin' you know, she's tryin' you know
You better go now
Well, I'd tell you what she wants if I
But I just don't know how
Fifteen jugglers, fifteen jugglers
Five believers, five believers
All dressed like men
Tell your mama not to worry because
Yes they're just my friends
Early in the mornin', early in the mornin'
I'm callin' you to, I'm callin' you to
Please come home
Yes, I could make it without you honey

Oh Sister
words and music by Bob Dylan & Jacques Levy
errors are mine B^)
G Bm C G
Oh sister when I come, to ly in your arms.
G Bm C G
You should not treat me like a stranger.
G Bm C G
Our father would not like the way that you act,
G Bm C G
And you must realize the danger.
Oh sister am I not a brother to you.
And one deserving of affection.
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow his direction.
F C G
We grew up together from the cradle to the grave.
F C G D G
We died and were reborn and left mysteriously saved
Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore.
You may not see me tomorrow.

This is from memory so there could be a mistake or two...
One More Cup of Coffee
Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy
Am
Your Breath is sweet, your eyes are like
G
Two jewels in the sky
F
Your back is straight your hair is smooth
E
On the pillow where you lie.
Am
But I don't sense affection
G
No gratitude or love.
F E
Your loyalty is not me but to the stars above
Chourus :
F E
One more cup of coffee for the road.
F E
One more cup of coffee for I go,
NC Am G F E
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade.
He'll teach you how to pick an choose
And how to throw the blade.
And he oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude.
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
Chorus
Your sister sees the future
Like your momma and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure know no limits
Your voice is like a meadow larks.
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.
Chours:
Kelwyn
He said thats alright Babe
I love you too.
But we were tangled up in blue.

PERCY'S SONG
by Bob Dylan
G C
Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep,
G D
Turn, turn, turn again,
G C
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
G C D Em7 D Em7 D
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Tell me, the trouble tell once to my ear,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Oh what's the charge of how this came to be,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Manslaughter in the highest of degree.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Without a reply I left by the moon,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Could ya tell me the facts? I said without fear,
Turn, turn, turn again,
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A crash on the highway flew the car to a field,
Turn, turn, turn again,
There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
But I knew him as good as I'm knowin' myself,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
Turn, turn, turn again,
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again,
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none,
Turn, turn, turn again,
What happened to him could happen to anyone.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
And at that the judge jerked forward and his face it did freeze,
Turn, turn, turn again,
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my office now, please."
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,
Turn, turn, turn again,
With no other choice except but for to go.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam,
Turn, turn, turn again,
I walked down the courthouse stairs and I could not understand.
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
And I played my guitar through the night to the day,
Turn, turn, turn again,
And the only tune my guitar could play
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."

Positively 4th Street - Dylan
=============================
G Am C G
You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
D C Em7 D
When I was down you just stood there grinning
G Am C G
You got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand
D C Em7 D
You just want to be on the side that's winning
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
You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose and you know it
I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street you always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it
No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand it's not my problem
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
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

QUEEN JANE APPROXIMATELY
Bob Dylan
Dm9 Em F C
When your mother sends back all of your invitations
Dm9 Em F G7
And your father to your sister, he explains
C F C Am
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
C F C F
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
C F C
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you're sick of all this repetition
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
When all of your advisors heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Now when all the other bandits that you turned the other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Dm9 - XX2211
Thanks to the original poster.
Peace,
Paul Z

CORRECTION TO RAINY DAY WOMAN #12 and 35 BY Bob Dylan:
Submitted by: Nick Sprague (nws103@psu.edu)
The A* progression should be moved up one fret it since it is A# not A. This makes the F#* into G* and so on for the rest of the progression.
The line "But I would not feel so all alone" is also slightly off. The progression for that is moved up to a C* to start it. This means that the first chord is C* (10,11,10,x,x,x) the second chord is (11,10,11,10,x,x), the third chord is (10,8,10,9,x,x)
and the fourth is (8,8,9,10,10).

Come round you rovin gamblers thereТs a story I will tell
C C F C
About the greatest gambler you all should know him well
C C F C
His name was Willie OТConnelly and he gambled all his life
F C F
HeТs had 27 children yet heТs never had a wife
C F C F C F C F
And itТs ride Willie ride, roll Willie roll,
F C F C F C F hold C
Where ever youТre a gamblinТ now nobody knows
Well he gambled in the white house and in the railroad yards
Where ever there was people there was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation as the gamblinest man around
Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie came town
Sailin down the Mississippi to a town called New Orleans
TheyТre still talkin about that card game on that Jackson Queen
УIТve come to win some money,Ф gamblin Willie says
When the game finally ended up, the whole darn boat was his
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek
There was an old poker game lasted about a week
900 miners had laid their money down
When Willie finally left the room he owned the whole darn town.
(verse with harp)
Well Willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true
He supported all his children and all their mothers too
He wore no wings and fancy things that other gamblers wore
He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and poor
When you played your cards with Willie you never really knew
Whether he was bluffin or whether he was true
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his chair
The man he left a diamond flush Willie didnТt even have a pair
It was late one evening during a poker game
A man lost all his money said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head which was a tragic fate
WillieТs cards fell on the floor they were aces backed with eights
So all you ramblin gamblers where ever you might be
The moral of the story is very plain to see
Make your money while you can before you have to stop
Cause when you pull that dead manТs hand your gamblin days are up.
