Subject: CRD: Restless Farewell - Bob Dylan
RESTLESS FAREWELL
Bob Dylan
from the album The Times They Are A-Changin'
Capo at 4th fret Played very freely
C/G F C/G
Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend
G G6 G7 Csus4 C Csus4 C g
Be it mine right or wrongfully
C Csus4 C F C/G
I'd let it slip gladly to my friends
G G6 G7 C Csus4 C
To tie up the time most forcefully
C F/C C C/G F C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one
Gsus4/B Am Am/G f G G6 G7 C g
And the table is full and overflowed
C F C/G F C/G
And the corner sign says it's closing time
F C G G6 G7 C Csus4 C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
harmonica break: F C G G6 G7 C C/G
Oh every girl that ever I've touched
I did not do it harmfully
And every girl that ever I've hurt
I did not do it knowingly
But to remain as friends, you need the time
To make amends and stay behind
And since my feet are now fast
And point away from the past
I'll bid farewell and be down the line
Oh every foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came
And every cause that ever I fought
I fought it full without regret or shame
But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn
And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn
And if I see the day I'd only have to stay
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone
Oh every thought that strung a knot in my mind
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung
But it's not to stand naked under unknown (unknowin'?) eyes
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung
But the time ain't tall if on time you depend
And no word is possessed by no special friend
And though the line is cut it ain't quite the end
I'll just bid farewell till we meet again
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
To disgrace, distract and bother me
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumors covers me
But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick
It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick
So I'll make my stand and remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn
C/G=332010
G6 =3X200X
G7 =3X300X
Csus4=X33010
F/C=X33211
Gsus4/B=X2001X
Am/G=3X2210
f=1XXXXX passing note
g=3XXXXX passing note
Harmonica played cross harp (blues style)--use key of A
Note: played with no strict time, very freely. Also played
freely are the strings strummed or picked for each chord, varying
from chord to chord and verse to verse. Occasionally some chords
are left out, played with a different root, notes hammered etc.
ALTERNATE VERSION
The version Dylan played on the Sinatra birthday tribute recently goes
something like this:
no capo, in C
C F C
All the money that in my life I did spend
G C Csus4 C
Be it mine right or wrongfully
C F C
I'd let it slip gladly to my friends
G C Csus4 C
To tie up the time most forcefully
C F/C C F/C C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one
C F C
And the table is full and overflowed
F C F C
And the corner sign says it's closing time
F C G C Csus4 C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
(lots of C - Csus2 - C - Csus4 etc. thrown in during C chords)

Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan
-------------------------------------------
('Blonde on Blonde' album)
D A G Em7 A7
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
D A G Em A7
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
G F#m Em7 A7 D
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
Em7 A Em A7
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?
D A G Em7 A7
With your pockets well protected at last,
D A G Em A7
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
G F#m Em7 A7 D
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
Em7 A Em A7
Who among them do they think could carry you?
---- Chorous:
Em D A7
Sad eyed lady of the lowlands,
Em D A7
Where the sad eyed prophet says that no man comes,
F#m G D G D Em7 A7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Em Em7 A Em A
Should I leave them by your gate,
Em D A7 D
Or sad eyed lady, should I wait?
----
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your sillouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?
[Chorous]
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
Who among them do you think could resist you?
[Chorous]
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide.
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms,
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
[Chorous]
With your sheet metal memory of Cannery Row,
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show,
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold,
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul,
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
[Chorous]

You came up to behind me I saw you go by You were always so close and still within' reach

Whatever made you want to change you mind
G Bm C
Sara, Sara

So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can syill see them playin'
With their pails in the sand
They run to the water
Their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells
Fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other
Back up the hill
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Sleepin' in the woods
By a fire in the night
Drinkin' white rum
In a Portugal bar
Them playin' leap-frog
And hearin' about Snow White
You in the market place
In Savanna-la-Mar
Sara, Sara
It's all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret
I can still hear the sounds
Of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure
And had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days
In the Chelsea Hotel
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady
Of the Lowlands" for you
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Sara, oh Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart
How did I meet you
I don't know
A messenger sent me
In a tropical storm
You were there in the winter
Moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane
When the weather was warm
Sara, oh Sara
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
You must forgive me my unworthiness
Now the beach is deserted
Except for some kelp
And a peice of an old ship
That lies on the shore
You always responded
When I needed your help
You gimme a map
And a key to your door
Sara, oh Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, oh Sara
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go

Subject: SENOR (Tales of Yankee Power) by Bob Dylan
This is the sixth song off of Dylan~s underrated -Street Legal- album. I
happen to love the song (and some of the album, itself) to death. Anyway,
what one should remember about this is that there are a lot of bass walk-
downs in this song, and they are slow, as is the song. What I mean, for
example, is that, say the song moves from C to Am, the bass goes C, B, A
(like with what any normal bassist would do). I know you may be thinking,
what does this have to do with chord progression that he is about to
transcribe. Well, sometimes there is a feeling in the song that more than
one chord is being played and that is normally the bass walking down. I may
seem silly stating this but trust me... Or you could just ignore this whole
paragraph (as would what I would do if I were reading it). Another thing
about this transcription is that I had a very hard time understanding Mr.
Dylan~s lyrics especially in the bridges. So the lyrics are not exactly what
they appear to be. For a more better interpretation of the lyrics, one
should buy or take out of the library the Bob Dylan lyric book (which was
featured in that awful movie, you know what I~m talking about). Anyway:
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Can you tell me where we heading?
Am
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
G F
Seems like I been down this way before
Dm Am
Is there any truth in that, Senor?
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Do you know where she~s hiding?
Am
How long are we gonna be riding?
G F
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door?
Dm Am
Will there be any comfort here, Senor?
C Em
There~s a wicked wind still blowing on that upper deck
F Am*
There~s an iron cross still hanging down from around her neck
C Em
There~s a marching band still playing in their vacant lot
F Am*
Where she held me in her arms one time and said -forget what we got-
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
I can see the painted wagon
Am
Smell the tail of a dragon
G F
Can~t stand the suspense anymore
Dm Am
Can you tell me who to contact here, Senor?
Instrumental: all of the verse chords with the cool mandolin
C Em
Well the last thing I remember before they stripped and kneeled
F Am*
Was a train load of fools born down in a Maganatic(?) field
C Em
The gypsy, where he broke a pike and a flashing ring
F Am*
He say, -Son this ain~t a dream no more, it~s the real thing-
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
You know their hearts here are hard as leather
Am
Well give me a minute, let me get it together
G F
Just gotta pick myself up off the floor
Dm Am
I~m ready when you are, Senor?
Another Instrumental like the First Instrumental
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Let~s overturn these tables
Am
Disconnect these cables
G F
This place don~t make sense to me no more
Dm Am
Can you tell me what we~re waiting for, Senor?
The song fades out and ends on the verse chords and that is about it.
The Am* chords are played by striking the Am chord, then you release all your
fingers so that you strike all open strings (except for the low E and A
strings), then you strike back on the Am chord. It may not be accurate but
that is how I make sense out of that part of the song).
Feel free to email me and we can discuss why Bob Dylan rushes his lyrics
while playing in concert, making his songs lose all of their bite. (Or maybe
it's just me). Oh yeah, I must not disrespect the Spanish language by not
nothing that there is a tilda over the "n" in Senor. That is all.

SERIES OF DREAMS- Bob Dylan
C G C
I was thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Where nothing comes up to the top
C G C
Everything stays down where it's wounded
F
And comes to a permanent stop
C
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
F
Like in a dream when someone wakes up and screams
C
Nothing too very scientific
G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
Thinkin' of a series of dreams
Where the time and the tempo drag (fly)*
And there's no exit in any direction
Except the one that you can't see with your eyes
Wasn't makin' and great connection
Wasn't fallin' for any intricate scheme
Nothing that would pass inspection
I's just thinkin' of a series of dreams
CHORUS:
Am F C
Dreams where the umbrella is folded
Am F C
And into the path you are hurled
Am F C
And the cards are no good that you're holdin'
G
Unless they're from another world
In one, the surface was frozen
In another, I witnessed a crime
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't lookin' for any special assistance
Not going through any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
CHORUS
C G C C F
C
I'd already gone the distance
G C C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
NOTE: I saw one version of lyrics that had "fly" instead of "drag". Fly
would make it rhyme, but Dylan obviously says drag.
FROM: The Bootleg Series 1-3, this song recorded 1989.

Hi Steve,
I love that song too. I'll try to roughly TAB/TALK you through it.
The opening riff is off the opening E minor chord and goes roughly like
this
E-----2-3-0-2--0---------------
B----------------3--0----------
G------------------------------ repeat for intro
D--2----------------------2--2-
A--2----------------------2--2-
E--0----------------------0--0-
So... The intro is a held out E minor.
Emin C G B Emin
Seven more days, she'll be coming. I'll be waiting at the station
Amin B
For her to arrive. Seven more days all I got to do is survive.
and the other change is
Amin Amin
There's kissing in the valley, thieving in the alley
B Emin
Fighting every inch of the way.
Amin Amin
Trying to be tender with somebody I remember
B Emin
In a night that's allways brighter than the day. Seven Days.
Hope this helps. All off the top of my head and I haven't played this
one in a couple of years.
BTW, how's your open tuning playing going? Check out my sig for a
good riff.

sevan long days, all I gotta do is survive
She been gone, ever since I been a child,

I've never forgotten her eyes
She had a face that outshined the sun and the sky
I've been good, i've been good while i've been waitin'
forgive for hesitating,
but i've been hangin on
sevan more days and all that will be gone
there's kissin' in the alley, theiving in the alley
fightin' every inch of the way
trying to get a lead on, providing the feat on
the nights are always sadder than the days
sevan days , sevan days the wind is knowin'
the whistle will be blowin'
and I know she'll be coming for
my beautifull comrade from the north.
repeat last first.

Shelter From the Storm
By Bob Dylan
D
'Twas in another life time,
G D
One of toil and blood.
When blackness was a virtue
G
And the road was full of mud.
D
I came in from the wilderness,
G
A creature void of form.
D
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you,
G
Shelter from the storm."
And if I pass this way again,
You can rest assured,
I'll always do my best for her
On that I give my word.
In a world of steel eyed death and men
Who are fighting to be warm,
Come in she said,
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
Not a word was spoke between us.
There was little risk involved.
everything up to that point,
Had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place
Where it's always safe and warm
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
I was burned out from exhaustion
I was buried in the hail.
Poisoned in the bushes
An' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile,
Ravaged in the corn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around
And she was standing there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns
Come in she said
I'll give you,
Shelter from the storm.
Now there's a wall between us
Something has been lost.
I took too much for granted
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that all began
On an uneventfull morn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
And the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters
It's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker
He blows a futile horn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies wailin'
Like a mornin' dove
And old men with broken teeth
Stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
In a little hill top village
I gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
And they gave me a leathal dose.
I offered up my innocence
And got repaid with scorn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country
But I'm bound to cross the line.
Beauty walk a razors edge,
Someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn the clock back
To when God and her were born
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
Be seeing you,
Kelwyn.
_________
He said that's alright babe,
I love you too.
But we were Tangled Up In Blue.

SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE- Bob Dylan
TUNING: E B E G# B E
E5
They sat together in the park
E5/Eb
As the evening sky grew dark
E5/D
She looked at him and he felt a spark
C#7/E
Tingle to his bones
Am
'Twas then he felt alone
E5 E5/Eb Esus4
And wished that he'd gone straight
E(2) Esus2/A E5
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight
Train moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxaphone someplace far off played
As she was walking down by the arcade
As the light burst through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside
To which he just could not relate
Brought on by his simple twist of fate
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Were the saliors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
How long must he wait?
One more time for his simple twist of fate
People tell me its a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Something There Is About You - Bob Dylan
------------------------------------------
('Planet waves' album)
G C Am G
Something there is about you That strikes a match in me.
G C Am G
Is it the way your body moves Or is it the way your hair blows free.
Bm Em C Am
Or is it because you remind me Of somethin' that used to be
G7 C Am G
Somethin' that's crossed over From another century.
G C Am G
Thought I'd shaken the wonder And the phantoms of my youth.
G C Am G
Rainy days on the Great Lakes Walkin' the hills of old Duluth.
Bm Em C Am G
There was me and Danny Lopez Cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth
G7 C Am G
Somethin' there is about you That bring back a long forgotten truth.
G C Am G
Suddenly I found you And the spirit in me sings.
G C Am G
Don't have to look no further You're the soul of many things.
Bm Em C Am G
I could say that I'd be faithful I could say it in one sweet, easy breath.
G7 C Am G
But to you that would be cruelty And to me it surely would be death.
G C Am G
Something there is about you That moves with style and grace.
G C Am G
I was in a whirlwind Now I'm in some better place.
Bm Em C Am G
My hand's on the sabre And you've picked up on the baton
G7 C Am G
Somethin' there is about you That I can't quite put my finger on.

Stuck Inside of Mobil
with the Memphis Blues Again
By Bob Dylan
F Dm
Oh the rag-man draws circles
F Dm
Up and down the block.
F Dm
I'd ask him what the matter was
Bb C7
But I know that he don't talk.
Bb F
And the ladies treat me kindly
Dm F
And furnish me with tape
Dm F
But deep inside my heart
Bb F
I know I can't escape
Am
Oh Mama,
Can this really be the end
F C Dm
To be stuck inside of Mobile
F Bb F
with the Memphis blues again
Well, Shakespear, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells.
Speaking to a french girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
Post the post office has been stolen
And the mail box is locked.
Oh Mama
Can this really be th end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blus again.
Mona tried to tell me
To stay far away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Drink your blood like wine.
An' I said "Oh, I didn't know that
But then again there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids

Subject: CRD: Restless Farewell - Bob Dylan
RESTLESS FAREWELL
Bob Dylan
from the album The Times They Are A-Changin'
Capo at 4th fret Played very freely
C/G F C/G
Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend
G G6 G7 Csus4 C Csus4 C g
Be it mine right or wrongfully
C Csus4 C F C/G
I'd let it slip gladly to my friends
G G6 G7 C Csus4 C
To tie up the time most forcefully
C F/C C C/G F C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one
Gsus4/B Am Am/G f G G6 G7 C g
And the table is full and overflowed
C F C/G F C/G
And the corner sign says it's closing time
F C G G6 G7 C Csus4 C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
harmonica break: F C G G6 G7 C C/G
Oh every girl that ever I've touched
I did not do it harmfully
And every girl that ever I've hurt
I did not do it knowingly
But to remain as friends, you need the time
To make amends and stay behind
And since my feet are now fast
And point away from the past
I'll bid farewell and be down the line
Oh every foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came
And every cause that ever I fought
I fought it full without regret or shame
But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn
And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn
And if I see the day I'd only have to stay
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone
Oh every thought that strung a knot in my mind
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung
But it's not to stand naked under unknown (unknowin'?) eyes
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung
But the time ain't tall if on time you depend
And no word is possessed by no special friend
And though the line is cut it ain't quite the end
I'll just bid farewell till we meet again
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
To disgrace, distract and bother me
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumors covers me
But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick
It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick
So I'll make my stand and remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn
C/G=332010
G6 =3X200X
G7 =3X300X
Csus4=X33010
F/C=X33211
Gsus4/B=X2001X
Am/G=3X2210
f=1XXXXX passing note
g=3XXXXX passing note
Harmonica played cross harp (blues style)--use key of A
Note: played with no strict time, very freely. Also played
freely are the strings strummed or picked for each chord, varying
from chord to chord and verse to verse. Occasionally some chords
are left out, played with a different root, notes hammered etc.
ALTERNATE VERSION
The version Dylan played on the Sinatra birthday tribute recently goes
something like this:
no capo, in C
C F C
All the money that in my life I did spend
G C Csus4 C
Be it mine right or wrongfully
C F C
I'd let it slip gladly to my friends
G C Csus4 C
To tie up the time most forcefully
C F/C C F/C C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one
C F C
And the table is full and overflowed
F C F C
And the corner sign says it's closing time
F C G C Csus4 C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
(lots of C - Csus2 - C - Csus4 etc. thrown in during C chords)
Csus2=X30010

Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan

('Blonde on Blonde' album)
D A G Em7 A7
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
D A G Em A7
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
G F#m Em7 A7 D
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
Em7 A Em A7
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?
D A G Em7 A7
With your pockets well protected at last,
D A G Em A7
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
G F#m Em7 A7 D
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
Em7 A Em A7
Who among them do they think could carry you?
---- Chorous:
Em D A7
Sad eyed lady of the lowlands,
Em D A7
Where the sad eyed prophet says that no man comes,
F#m G D G D Em7 A7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Em Em7 A Em A
Should I leave them by your gate,
Em D A7 D
Or sad eyed lady, should I wait?
----
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your sillouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?
[Chorous]
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
Who among them do you think could resist you?
[Chorous]
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide.
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms,
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
[Chorous]
With your sheet metal memory of Cannery Row,
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show,
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold,
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul,
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
[Chorous]

Whatever made you want to change you mind

So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can syill see them playin'
With their pails in the sand
They run to the water
Their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells
Fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other
Back up the hill
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Sleepin' in the woods
By a fire in the night
Drinkin' white rum
In a Portugal bar
Them playin' leap-frog
And hearin' about Snow White
You in the market place
In Savanna-la-Mar
Sara, Sara
It's all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret
I can still hear the sounds
Of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure
And had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days
In the Chelsea Hotel
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady
Of the Lowlands" for you
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Sara, oh Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart
How did I meet you
I don't know
A messenger sent me
In a tropical storm
You were there in the winter
Moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane
When the weather was warm
Sara, oh Sara
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
You must forgive me my unworthiness
Now the beach is deserted
Except for some kelp
And a peice of an old ship
That lies on the shore
You always responded
When I needed your help
You gimme a map
And a key to your door
Sara, oh Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, oh Sara
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go

Subject: SENOR (Tales of Yankee Power) by Bob Dylan
This is the sixth song off of Dylan~s underrated -Street Legal- album. I
happen to love the song (and some of the album, itself) to death. Anyway,
what one should remember about this is that there are a lot of bass walk-
downs in this song, and they are slow, as is the song. What I mean, for
example, is that, say the song moves from C to Am, the bass goes C, B, A
(like with what any normal bassist would do). I know you may be thinking,
what does this have to do with chord progression that he is about to
transcribe. Well, sometimes there is a feeling in the song that more than
one chord is being played and that is normally the bass walking down. I may
seem silly stating this but trust me... Or you could just ignore this whole
paragraph (as would what I would do if I were reading it). Another thing
about this transcription is that I had a very hard time understanding Mr.
Dylan~s lyrics especially in the bridges. So the lyrics are not exactly what
they appear to be. For a more better interpretation of the lyrics, one
should buy or take out of the library the Bob Dylan lyric book (which was
featured in that awful movie, you know what I~m talking about). Anyway:
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Can you tell me where we heading?
Am
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
G F
Seems like I been down this way before
Dm Am
Is there any truth in that, Senor?
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Do you know where she~s hiding?
Am
How long are we gonna be riding?
G F
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door?
Dm Am
Will there be any comfort here, Senor?
C Em
There~s a wicked wind still blowing on that upper deck
F Am*
There~s an iron cross still hanging down from around her neck
C Em
There~s a marching band still playing in their vacant lot
F Am*
Where she held me in her arms one time and said -forget what we got-
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
I can see the painted wagon
Am
Smell the tail of a dragon
G F
Can~t stand the suspense anymore
Dm Am
Can you tell me who to contact here, Senor?
Instrumental: all of the verse chords with the cool mandolin
C Em
Well the last thing I remember before they stripped and kneeled
F Am*
Was a train load of fools born down in a Maganatic(?) field
C Em
The gypsy, where he broke a pike and a flashing ring
F Am*
He say, -Son this ain~t a dream no more, it~s the real thing-
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
You know their hearts here are hard as leather
Am
Well give me a minute, let me get it together
G F
Just gotta pick myself up off the floor
Dm Am
I~m ready when you are, Senor?
Another Instrumental like the First Instrumental
Am
Senor,
Em
Senor,
F C
Let~s overturn these tables
Am
Disconnect these cables
G F
This place don~t make sense to me no more
Dm Am
Can you tell me what we~re waiting for, Senor?
The song fades out and ends on the verse chords and that is about it.
The Am* chords are played by striking the Am chord, then you release all your
fingers so that you strike all open strings (except for the low E and A
strings), then you strike back on the Am chord. It may not be accurate but
that is how I make sense out of that part of the song).
Feel free to email me and we can discuss why Bob Dylan rushes his lyrics
while playing in concert, making his songs lose all of their bite. (Or maybe
it's just me). Oh yeah, I must not disrespect the Spanish language by not
nothing that there is a tilda over the "n" in Senor. That is all.

SERIES OF DREAMS- Bob Dylan
C G C
I was thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Where nothing comes up to the top
C G C
Everything stays down where it's wounded
F
And comes to a permanent stop
C
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
F
Like in a dream when someone wakes up and screams
C
Nothing too very scientific
G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
Thinkin' of a series of dreams
Where the time and the tempo drag (fly)*
And there's no exit in any direction
Except the one that you can't see with your eyes
Wasn't makin' and great connection
Wasn't fallin' for any intricate scheme
Nothing that would pass inspection
I's just thinkin' of a series of dreams
CHORUS:
Am F C
Dreams where the umbrella is folded
Am F C
And into the path you are hurled
Am F C
And the cards are no good that you're holdin'
G
Unless they're from another world
In one, the surface was frozen
In another, I witnessed a crime
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't lookin' for any special assistance
Not going through any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
CHORUS
C G C C F
C
I'd already gone the distance
G C C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
C G C
Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
NOTE: I saw one version of lyrics that had "fly" instead of "drag". Fly
would make it rhyme, but Dylan obviously says drag.
FROM: The Bootleg Series 1-3, this song recorded 1989.

Hi Steve,
I love that song too. I'll try to roughly TAB/TALK you through it.
The opening riff is off the opening E minor chord and goes roughly like
this
E-----2-3-0-2--0---------------
B----------------3--0----------
G------------------------------ repeat for intro
D--2----------------------2--2-
A--2----------------------2--2-
E--0----------------------0--0-
So... The intro is a held out E minor.
Emin C G B Emin
Seven more days, she'll be coming. I'll be waiting at the station
Amin B
For her to arrive. Seven more days all I got to do is survive.
and the other change is
Amin Amin
There's kissing in the valley, thieving in the alley
B Emin
Fighting every inch of the way.
Amin Amin
Trying to be tender with somebody I remember
B Emin
In a night that's allways brighter than the day. Seven Days.
Hope this helps. All off the top of my head and I haven't played this
one in a couple of years.
BTW, how's your open tuning playing going? Check out my sig for a
good riff.

Here are some chords, the way Wood does it is similiar but not the
same. (anyone have any ideas?)
sevan days
EM C G
sevan days , sevan long days she'll be comin'
B7 EM
I'll be waitin' at the station
AM
for her to arrive
B7 EM
sevan long days, all I gotta do is survive
She been gone, ever since I been a child,
ever since I seen her smile
I've never forgotten her eyes
She had a face that outshined the sun and the sky
I've been good, i've been good while i've been waitin'
forgive for hesitating,
but i've been hangin on
sevan more days and all that will be gone
there's kissin' in the alley, theiving in the alley
fightin' every inch of the way
trying to get a lead on, providing the feat on
the nights are always sadder than the days
sevan days , sevan days the wind is knowin'
the whistle will be blowin'
and I know she'll be coming for
my beautifull comrade from the north.
repeat last first.

Shelter From the Storm
By Bob Dylan
D
'Twas in another life time,
G D
One of toil and blood.
When blackness was a virtue
G
And the road was full of mud.
D
I came in from the wilderness,
G
A creature void of form.
D
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you,
G
Shelter from the storm."
And if I pass this way again,
You can rest assured,
I'll always do my best for her
On that I give my word.
In a world of steel eyed death and men
Who are fighting to be warm,
Come in she said,
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
Not a word was spoke between us.
There was little risk involved.
everything up to that point,
Had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place
Where it's always safe and warm
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
I was burned out from exhaustion
I was buried in the hail.
Poisoned in the bushes
An' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile,
Ravaged in the corn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around
And she was standing there
With silver bracelets on her wrists
And flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully
And took my crown of thorns
Come in she said
I'll give you,
Shelter from the storm.
Now there's a wall between us
Something has been lost.
I took too much for granted
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that all began
On an uneventfull morn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
And the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters
It's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker
He blows a futile horn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies wailin'
Like a mornin' dove
And old men with broken teeth
Stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
In a little hill top village
I gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
And they gave me a leathal dose.
I offered up my innocence
And got repaid with scorn
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country
But I'm bound to cross the line.
Beauty walk a razors edge,
Someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn the clock back
To when God and her were born
Come in she said
I'll give you
Shelter from the storm.
Be seeing you,
Kelwyn.
_________
He said that's alright babe,
I love you too.
But we were Tangled Up In Blue.

SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE- Bob Dylan
TUNING: E B E G# B E
E5
They sat together in the park
E5/Eb
As the evening sky grew dark
E5/D
She looked at him and he felt a spark
C#7/E
Tingle to his bones
Am
'Twas then he felt alone
E5 E5/Eb Esus4
And wished that he'd gone straight
E(2) Esus2/A E5
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight
Train moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxaphone someplace far off played
As she was walking down by the arcade
As the light burst through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside
To which he just could not relate
Brought on by his simple twist of fate
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Were the saliors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
How long must he wait?
One more time for his simple twist of fate
People tell me its a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Something There Is About You - Bob Dylan
------------------------------------------
('Planet waves' album)
G C Am G
Something there is about you That strikes a match in me.
G C Am G
Is it the way your body moves Or is it the way your hair blows free.
Bm Em C Am
Or is it because you remind me Of somethin' that used to be
G7 C Am G
Somethin' that's crossed over From another century.
G C Am G
Thought I'd shaken the wonder And the phantoms of my youth.
G C Am G
Rainy days on the Great Lakes Walkin' the hills of old Duluth.
Bm Em C Am G
There was me and Danny Lopez Cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth
G7 C Am G
Somethin' there is about you That bring back a long forgotten truth.
G C Am G
Suddenly I found you And the spirit in me sings.
G C Am G
Don't have to look no further You're the soul of many things.
Bm Em C Am G
I could say that I'd be faithful I could say it in one sweet, easy breath.
G7 C Am G
But to you that would be cruelty And to me it surely would be death.
G C Am G
Something there is about you That moves with style and grace.
G C Am G
I was in a whirlwind Now I'm in some better place.
Bm Em C Am G
My hand's on the sabre And you've picked up on the baton
G7 C Am G
Somethin' there is about you That I can't quite put my finger on.

Oh Mama,

with the Memphis blues again
Well, Shakespear, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells.
Speaking to a french girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
Post the post office has been stolen
And the mail box is locked.
Oh Mama
Can this really be th end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blus again.
Mona tried to tell me
To stay far away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Drink your blood like wine.
An' I said "Oh, I didn't know that
But then again there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
