A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

	G
Where have you been, my darling young	one?

	F	G	C
I've str	ayed on the side of t	welve misty mo	untains.

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways.

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forestes.

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans.

Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard.

C	G	C	F	C	G
And it's	hard,	hard,	hard,	hard -- it's a	hard rain's

	C
a-gonna	fall.

What did you see, my blue-eyed son?

What did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn babe with the wild wolves around it.

I saw a highway of golden with nobody on it.

I saw a black branch with a blood that kept dripping.

Saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleeding.

I saw a white ladder all covered with water.

Saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were are broken.

Saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children.

↓

And it's hard, hard, hard, hard -- it's a hard rain's

a-gonna fall.

What did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

What did you hear, my darling young one?

I heard the roar of a thunder -- it roared out a warning.

Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world.

Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing.

Heard ten thousand whispering, and nobody listening.

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter.

Heard the sound of a clown that cried in the alley.

Heard the sound of one person who cried he was human.

And it's hard, hard, hard, hard -- it's a hard rain's

a-gonna fall.

Who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?

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 women whose body was burning.

I met a young girl -- she gave me a rainbow.

I met one man -- he was wounded in love.

I met another man -- he was wounded in hatred.

And it's hard, hard, hard, hard -- it's a hard rain's

a-gonna fall.

↓

Well, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?

What'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm going back out, 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'.

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest,

Where the people are many, and their hands are all empty,

Where the pellets of poison are flooding my waters,

Where the home in the valley meets the dark dirty prison,

Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,

Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,

Where black is the color, where none is the number.

And I'll see it and tell it and think it and be it.

And reflect from the mountains so all souls can see it.

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

But I'll know my song well before I start sinking.

And it's hard, hard, hard, hard -- it's a hard rain's

a-gonna fall.

Arthur McBride

(Arrangement by Paul Brady)

Capo - 2nd fret

	G	G
Oh me	and my cousin one A	rthur McBride

	C	G	Am7	C
As we	went a-wal	king down by	the seasi	de

	G	G
A-ma	rking what followed and what	might betide

	D
For it being on Christmas mo	rning

	G	G
And f	or recreation we we	nt on a tramp

	C	G	Am7	C
And we met	Sergeant Har	per and Cor	poral R	amp

	G
And the li	ttle wee drummer intending to camp

	D	G
For the day being pleasant and cha	rming

"Good morning, good morning" the Sergeant he cried

"And the same to you gentlemen" we did reply

Intending no harm as we meant to pass by

For it being on Christmas morning

But says he "My fine fellows if you will enlist

It's ten guineas in gold I will slip in your fists

And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust

And drink the King's health in the morning

↓

For a soldier he leads a very fine life

He always is blessed with a charming young wife

And he pays all his debts without sorrow and strife

And he always lives pleasant and charming

And a soldier he always is decent and clean

In the finest of clothing he's constantly seen

While other poor fellows look dirty and mean

And sup on thin gruel in the morning"

But says Arthur "I wouldn't be proud of your clothes

For you've only the lend of them, as I suppose

And you dare not change them one night for you know

If you do you'll be flogged in the morning

And although that we are single and free

We take great delight in our own company

And we have no desire strange faces to see

Although that your offers are charming

And we have no desire to take your advance

All hazards and dangers we barter on chance

For you would have no scruple for to send us to France

Where we would get shot without warning

"Oh no," says the Sergeant, "I'll hear no such chat

And I never will take it from spalpeen or brat

For if you insult me with one other word

I'll cut off your heads in the morning"

And then Arthur and I we soon drew our odds

And we scarce gave them time for to draw their own blades

When a trusty shillelagh came over their heads

↓

And bade them take that as fair warning

And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their sides

We flung them as far as we could in the tide

"Now take them out, devils," cried Arthur McBride

"And temper their edge in the morning"

And the little wee drummer we flattened his pouch

And we made a foot-bowl of his rowdy-dowd-dowd

Threw it in the tide for to rock and to roll

And bade it a tedious returning

And we having no money, paid them off in cracks

And we paid no respect to their two bloody backs

But we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks

And left them for dead in the morning

And so to conclude and to finish disputes

We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits

For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts

And bid them look sharp in the morning

Bob Dylan's Dream

	G	Am
While	riding on a	train going west

	C	D
I fell as	leep for to t	ake my rest.

	D7	D	G
I dreamed a	dream that	made me	sad

	Am	D	C	G
Concerning mys	elf and the	first few	friends I	had.

With half damp eyes I stared to the room

Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,

Where we together weathered many a storm,

Laughing and singing 'till the early hours of the morn.

By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,

Our words were told and our songs were sung;

We longed for nothing and were satisfied

Talking and joking about the world outside.

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,

We never thought we could get very old

We thought we could sit forever in fun

Though our chances really were a million to one.

As easy it was to tell black from white,

It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;

Our choices were few and the thought never hit

That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and

↓

split.

Ah many a year has passed and gone,

And many a gamble has been lost and won;

And many a road taken by many a friend,

And each one of them I've never seen again.

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,

That we could sit simply in that room once again;

Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,

I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.

(repeat first verse)

Chimes of Freedom

Intro: G C C/B D Dsus4 → C D G (notes: B C D G...)

G	C9
Far between the sundown's	finish

	G	C9	G
and	midnights broken	toll → we	ducked inside

	C9	D	G
the	doorway	thunder	crashing (notes: B C D G...)

	G	C9	G	C9
As	majestic bells of	bolts → struck	shadows in the	sounds

G	C9	D	G
seeming to be the	chimes of	freedom	flashing

(notes on low E string and open D: G F# E D...)

Flashing for the warriors

	G	C9	G
whose	strength is	not to	fight

flashing for the	refugees

of the	unarmed road of	flight

soldier in the	night

↓

	G	C9	D	G
and we	gazed upon the	chimes of	freedom	flashing

(notes: B C D G...)

There are cities melted furnace

unexpectedly we watched

with faces hidden as the walls were tightening

As the echo of the wedding bells

before the blowing rain

dissolved into the bells of the lightning

Tolling for the rebel → tolling for the rake

tolling for the luckless

they are bound and damned forsaked

tolling for the outcasts → burning constantly at stake

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Through the mad mystic hammering

and the wild ripping hail

the sky cracked its farms in naked wonder

As the clanging of the church bells

blew far into the breeze

leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder

Striking for the gentle → striking for the kind

striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind

and the poet and painter → far behind his rightful time

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

↓

In the wild cathedral evening

the rain unravelled tales

for a disrobed faceless farms of no position

Tolling for the tongues

with no place to bring their thoughts

all down and taken for granted situations

Tolling for the deaf and blind

tolling for the mute

for a mistreated maidless mother, a mistitled prostitute

for the misdemeanor outlaw

chained and cheated by pursuit

and we gaze upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Even though the cloud's white curtain

in a far off corner flashed

and the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric lights still struck like arrows

fired but for the ones

condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Tolling for the searching ones

on their speechless seeking trail

for the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale

and for each unharmful gentle soul

misplaced inside a jail

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

↓

Starry eyes and laughing

as I recall when we were caught

can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended

As we listened one last time

and we watched with one last look

spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones

whose wounds cannot be nursed

or the countless confused accused misused

strung out ones and worse → and for every hung up person

in the whole wide universe

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Desolation Row

{columns:2}

They're selling postcards of the hanging.

	G	D
They're p	ainting the passports	brown.

	A7
The	beauty parlour's filled with sailors.

G	D
The circus is in town	.

Here comes the blind commissoner.

	G	D
They've	got him in a	trance.

	A7
One	hand's tied to the tightrope walker.

G	D
The other is in his	pants.

	G
And the	riot squad they're restless

	D
They	need some where to go.

	D	A7
As	lady and I look	out tonight

G	D
On Desolation	Row.

Cinderella she seem so easy.

It takes on to know one she smiles.

↓

Then puts her hand in her back pocket,

Betty davis style.

Then in comes Romeo he's moaning.

You Belong to me I believe.

And someone says your in the wrong place my friend

You better leave.

And the only sound that's left

After the ambulances go. → Is Cinderella sweeping up

On Desolation Row.

Now the moon is almost hidden

The stars are beginning to hide

The fortune telling lady

Has already taken all her things inside.

All except for Cane and Able

And the Hunch Back of Notre Dame

Everyone is making love → Or else expecting rain

And the good samaritan he's dressing

He's gettin ready for the show.

He's going to the carinval → Tonight on Desolation Row.

Now Ophelia she's 'neath the window.

For her I feel so afraid.

On her twenty-second birthday

She already is an old maid.

To her death is quite romantic.

She wears an iron vest.

Her profession's her religion,

Her sin is her lifelessness.

And though her eyes are fixed upon

↓

Noah's great rainbow → She spends her time peeking

Into Desolation Row.

Einstein disguised as Robin Hood

With his memories in a trunk → Passed this way an hour ago

With his friend a jealous monk.

He looked so frightful → As he bummed a cigarette

Then went off sniffing drain pipes

And reciting the alphabet.

No you would not think to look at him

That he was famous long ago → For playing electric violin

On Desolation Row. → {column_break}

Doctor filth he keeps his word

Inside a leather cup → But all his sexless patients

Are trying to blow it up. → Now his nurse a local looser

She's in charge of the cyanaide hole

And she also keeps the cards that read

Have mercy on his soul.

They all play on penny whistles

You can hear them blow

If you lean your head out far enough

From Desolation Row

Across the street they've nailed the curtains

They're gettin ready for the feast

The phantom of the opera → A perfect image of a priest

They're spoon feedin Casonova

To get him to feel more assured

Then they'll killed him with self confidence

After poisoning him with words

↓

And the phantom shouting to skinning girls

Get outta her don't you know

Casanova is just being punished

For going to Desolation Row.

Now at midnight all the agents

And the superhuman crews → Round up everyone

That knows more than they do.

Then they bring them to the factory

Where the heart attack machines

Is strapped across their shoulders

And then the kerosene

Is brought down from the castles

By insurance men that go

Check to see that nobody is escaping

To Desolation Row

Praise be to Nero's Neptune → The Titanic sails at dawn

And everybody shouting → Which side are you on

And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot

Fighting in the captains tower

While calypso signers laugh at them

And fishermen hold flowers

Between the windows of the sea

Where lovely mermaids flow

And nobody has to think too much

About Desolation Row

Yes I received your letter yesterday

About the time the door knob broke.

↓

When you asked me how I was → Was that some kind of joke.

All those people that you mention

Yes I know them they're quite lame.

I had to rearrange their faces

And give them all another name.

Right now I can't read too good

Don't send me no more letters no.

Not unless you mail them from

Desolation Row.

Have you seen Dignity?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance

Puts both his hands in the pocket of

chance

Hopin' to find one circumstance

Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou

She said " I don't want nobody see me

talkin' to you"

Said she could get killed if she told me

what she knew

About dignity

I went down where the vultures

feed

I would've gone deeper, but there

↓

wasn't any need

Heard the tongues of angels and the

tongues of men

Wasn't any difference to me

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade

House on fire, debts unpaid

Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the

maid

Have you seen dignity

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears

In a crowded room full of covered up

mirrors

Lookin' into the lost forgotten years

For Dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the

blues

Said he'd give me information if his name

wasn't used

He wanted money up front, said he was

abused → By dignity

Footprints runnin' cross the silver

sand

Steps goin' down into tatoo land

I met the sons of darkness and the

sons of light

In the bordertowns of despair

↓

Got no place to fade, got no coat

I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat

Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote

About dignity

Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure

Lookin' at his hands for the lines that

were

And into every masterpiece of literature

For dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind

Combin' his hair back, his future looks

thin

Bites the bullet and he looks within

For dignity

Someone showed me a picture and I

just laughed

Dignity never been photographed

I went into the red, went into the

black

Into the valley of dry bone dreams

So many roads, So much at stake

So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the

lake

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take

To find dignity

Don't Think Twice It's Alright

C	G	Am

But	don't think	twice it's	alright

And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe

That light I never knowed

And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

I wish there was something you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

But we never did too much talking anyway

So don't think twice it's alright

And it ain't no use in calling out my name babe

↓

Like you never did before

Ain't no use in calling out my name babe

I can't hear you any more

I'm thinking and a-wondering, walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice it's alright

I'm walking down that long lonesome road babe

Where I'm bound I can't tell

But goodbye is too good a word babe

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't saying you treated me unkind

You could have doen better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice it's alright

For a seventy dollar robbery.

Closed the door behind him, → And they threw away the key.

Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground

He wouldn't take shit from noone,

He wouldn't bow down or kneel.

The authorities they hated him,

Beacuse he was just too real.

Lord Lord so they cut George Jackson down.

Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.

The prison guards they cursed him,

As they watched him from above.

But they were frightened of his power,

↓

They were scared of his love.

Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground.

Sometimes I think this whole world,

Is one big prison yard. → Some of us are prisoners,

The rest of us are guards.

Lord Lord they cut George Jackson down.

Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.

GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR

Praying in the ghetto with my face in the cement.

Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the

innocent.

Felt around for the light switch, felt around for her

face.

Been treated like a farm animal on a wild goose chase.

	Eb

	Eb
The	rising of a new age.

	Bb	Db	Eb	F	Bb
See the	groom	still	waiting	at the	altar.

Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,

Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your silence for

snobbery.

Got the message this morning the one that was sent to me

About the madness of becoming what one was never meant to

be.

Chorus

↓

I don't know what I could say about Claudette that

wouldn't come back → to haunt me.

Finally had to give her up about the time she began to want

me.

But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and

humiliated.

I'd have done anything for that woman if she'd only made me

feel obligated.

Chorus

Put your hand on my head, baby. Do I have a

temperature?

I see people who are supposed to know better standing

around like → furniture.

There's a wall between you and what you want; you got to

leap it.

Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't

have the power to → keep it.

Chorus

City's on fire, phone's out of order.

They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the

border.

What can I say about Claudette? Ain't seen her since

January.

She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in

Beunos Aires.

Hurricane

Am	F	Am	F

Pistol shots ring out in the bar	room night

enter Patty Valentine from the	upper hall

Am	F
She sees the bartender in a	pool of blood

Am	F
Cries out "My God they killed	them all!"

C	F
Here comes the story of the	Hurricane,

C	F
The man the authorities cam	e to blame

Dm	C
for something that he never	done

Dm	C
Put in a prison cell but	one time

Em	Am	F	C	G	Am
he could have been	the	champion of the worl	d

	F	Am	F

Three bodied lying there does Patty see

and another man named Bello moving mysteriously

"I didn't do it" he says, and he throws up his hands

"I was only robbin the register, I hope you understand

↓

I saw them leavin," he says and he stops

One of us had better call the cops

so Patty calls the cops

and they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin

in the hot New Jersey night

Meanwhile somewhere in another part of town

Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around

number one contender for the middleweight crown

had no idea what kind of shit was about to go down

when a cop pulled him over on the side of the road

just like the time before and the time before that

in Paterson that just the ways things go

If you black you might as well not show up on the streets

Less you wanna draw the heat

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops

Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin around

He said "I saw two men runnin out, they looked like

middleweights

They jumped into a white car with out of state plates"

And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head

Cop said "Wait a minute boys, this one's not dead"

so they took him to the infirmary

and although this man could hardly see

they told him that he could identify the guilty men

Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in

Take him to the hospital and bring him upstairs

the wounded man looks up though his one dying eye

↓

says "why'd you bring him here for? he ain't the guy!"

Yes, here the story of the Hurricane

The man the authorities came to blame

for something that he never done

put in a prison cell but one time he could've been

the champion of the world

Four months later the ghetto's in flame

Rubin's in South America fightin for his name

while Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game

and the cops are puttin the screw to him looking for

somebody to blame

"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"

"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"

"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"

"Think it might have been that fighter that you saw running

that night?"

"Don't forget that you are white"

Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure"

Cops said "A poor boy like you could really use a break

We got you for the motel job and were talking to your

friend Bello

Now you don't want to ave to go back to jail, be a nice

fellow

You'll be doin' society a favor

That son of a bitch is brave and getting braver

We want to put his ass in the stir

We want to pin this trip murder on him

He ain't ne Gentleman Jim"

↓

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch

he never did like to talk about it all that much

It's my work he'd say, I do it for pay

and when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way

up to some paradise

where the trout streams flow and the air is nice

and ride a horse along a trail

but then they took him to the jail house

where they try to make a man into a mouse

All of Rubin's card were marked in advance

The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance

the judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums

to the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum

but to the black folks he was a crazy nigger

no one doubted that he pulled the trigger

and though they could not produce the gun

the D.A. said he was the one who did the deed

And the all-white jury agreed

Rubin Carter was falsely tried

the crime was murder "one", guess who testified?

Bello and Bradley and the both badly lied

and the newspapers all went along for the ride

how can the life of such a man

be in the palm of some fool's hand?

to see him obviously framed

couldn't help but be ashamed to live in a land

where justice is a game

↓

Now all the criminal in their coats and their ties

are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

while Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten foot cell

and innocent man in a living hell

that's the story of the Hurricane

but it won't be over till they clear him name

and give him back the time he's done

put in a prison cell but one time he could've been

the champion of the world.

You didn't know me better than that, sweet lady

I ran into the fortune teller, who said beware of lightning

that might strike

I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't

remember what it's

like There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin'

out of a boxcar door

You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done

In the final end he won the war after losin' every battle

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things

sometimes are

Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are

makin' me see

stars You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the

truth with lies

One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your

eyes → Blood on your saddle

CHORUS #2:

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb

Blowing through the curtains in your room

↓

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot, babe, it's a wonder that you still know

how to breathe

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke

us apart

You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to

change my heart

Now everything's a little upside down

As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped

What's good is bad, what's bad is good

You'll find out when you reach the top, you're on the

bottom

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally

made you blind

I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed

Your eyes don't look into mine

The priest wore black on the seventh day

And sat stone faced while the building burned

I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress

trees

While the springtime turned slowly into autumn

CHORUS #3:

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull

From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot, babe, it's a wonder that you still know

how to breathe

↓

I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books

you've read

Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was

somebody else

instead Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road

to ecstasy

I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory

And all your ragin' glory

I been double crossed now for the very last time and now

I'm finally free

I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline

Which separated you from me

You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise

above

And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or

your kind of love

And it makes me feel so sorry

CHORUS #4:

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats

Blowing through the letters that we wrote

Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves

We're idiots, babe, it's a wonder we can even feed

ourselves

Isis

Bb	Ab	Eb	Bb
I married	Isis on the	fifth day of	May

	Ab	Eb	Bb
But I could not hold	on to her	very long

	Ab	Eb	Bb
So I cut off my	hair and I ro	de straight aw	ay

	Ab	Eb	Bb
For the wild unkown co	untry where I co	uld not go wr	ong

I came to a high place of darkness and light

The dividing line ran through the centre of town

So I hitched up my pony to a post on the right

Went into a laundry to wash my clothes down

A man in the corner approached me for a match

I knew right away he was not ordinary

He said "Are you lookin' for something easy to catch?"

I said "I ain't got no money",He said "That ain't

necessary".

We set out that night for the cold in the North.

I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word

I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the

fourth.

I said "That's the best news I ever heard."

I was thinking about turquiose I was thinking about gold.

↓

I was thhinking about diamonds and the worlds biggest

necklace.

As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,

I was thinking about Isis, how sh thought I was so

reckless.

How she told me that one day we'd meet up again,

And thing would be different the next time we wed.

If I only hang on and just be her friend.

I still can't remember all the best things she said.

We came to the pyramids all embedde in ice.

He said "There's a body I'm trying to find,

If I carry it out it'll fetch a good price."

Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.

The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous.

We chopped throught he night and we chopped throught he

dawn.

When he died I was hopong that it wasn't contagious,

But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty

There were no jewels no nothing, I felt I'd been had.

When I saw that my partner was just being friendly,

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

I picked up his body and I dragged it inside,

Threw down into the hole and I put back the cover.

I said a quick prayer and I felt satified

↓

Then I rode back to Isis just to tell her I love her.

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.

Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed.

I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes.

I cursed one time then rode on ahead.

She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special."

She said "You look different." I said "Well I guess."

She said "You been gone." I said "That's only natural."

She said "You gonna stay." I said "Well if you want me to

yes."

Isis oh Isis you're a mystical child

What drives me to you is what drives me insane

I still can remember the way that you smiled

On the fifth day of May in the drizziling rain.

IT AIN'T ME BABE

G	C	G	D	G

Go lightly from the ledge, Babe, go lightly on the ground,

I'm not the one you want, Babe, I will only let you down.

You say you're looking for someone

who will promise never to part

↓

Someone to close his eyes for you, someone to close his

heart

Someone who will die for you and more

But it ain't me, Babe,

No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe,

It ain't me you're looking for, Babe.

Go melt back in the night, Babe,

everything inside is made of stone,

There's nothing in here moving and anyway I'm not alone

You say you're looking for someone

Who'll pick you up each time you fall,

To gather flowers constantly and to come each time you

call

A love of your life and nothing more

But it ain't me, Babe,

No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe,

It ain't me you're looking for, Babe.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense

Take what you have gathered from coincidence

The empty handed painter from your streets

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

This sky too, is folding under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home

All your reindeer armies, are all going home

The lover who just walked out your door

Has taken all his blankets from the floor

The carpet too, is moving under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

↓

Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you

The vagabond who's rapping at your door

Is standing in the clothes that you one wore

Strike another match, go start anew

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,

You rise up and say goodbye to no one.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,

Both of their futures so full of dread,

You don't show one.

Shedding off one more layer of skin.

Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Chorus

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,

Manipulator of crowds, → You're a dream twister.

You go to Sodom and Gomorrah, but what do you care?

Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.

A friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame.

You look into the fiery furnace - see the rich man without

any name.

Chorus

Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,

The law of the jungle and the sea,

Are your only teachers.

In the smoke of the twilight --- on a milk-white steed,

Michelangelo indeed could have carved out your features.

Resting in the fields far from the turbulent space.

Half asleep neath the stars with a small dog licking your

face.

Chorus

↓

Well the (mafia?) man stalkin' the sick and the lame,

Preacher man seeks the same,

Who'll get there first is uncertain.

Matchsticks and water cannons --- teargas, padlocks,

Molotav cocktails and rocks, → Behind every curtain.

False-hearted judges dyin' in the webs that they spin.

Only a matter of time til night comes steppin' in.

Chorus

It's a shadowy world - skies are slippery grey,

A woman just gave birth to a prince today,

And dressed him in scarlet.

He'll put the priest in his pocket - put the blade to the

heat,

Take the motherless children off the street,

And place them at the feet of a harlot.

Oh Jokerman you know what he wants.

Oh Jokerman you don't show any response.

If you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot

I cannot maove and my fingers, they are all in a knot

↓

I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot

And my best, my doctor, won't even say what it is that I've

got

Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom

She speaks good English, and she invites you up into her

room

And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon

And she takes your voice, and leaves you howling at the

moon

Up on housing project hill, it's either fortune or fame

You must pick one or the other, though neither fo them

ought to be what they claim

And if you're lookin' to get silly, you better go back to

from where you came

Cause the cops don't need you, and man, they expect the

same

Now all the authorities, they just stand around and boast

How they blackmailed the sergeant at arms into leaving his

post

And picking up Angel, who just arrived here from the coast

Who looked so fine at first, but left looking just like a

ghost

I started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff

Everybody said they'd stand behind me when the game got

rough

But the joke was one me, there was nobody there to even

↓

bluff

I'm going back to New York City, I do believe I've had

enough

You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,

But you know you only used to get juiced in it.

You never had to live out on the street,

But now you're gonna have to get used to it.

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.

Ain't it hard when you discover that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal.

You never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for

you.

Never understood that it ain't no good.

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.

You said you'd never compromise

With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And he says, "Do you want to make a deal?"

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made.

Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,

You'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it

babe. → You used to be so amused

At Napolean in rags and the language that he used

Go to him now he calls you you can't refuse

When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose

↓

Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal.

Real dirty face and a curly tail,

He wasn't too small, and he wasn't too big,

Next animal that he did meet,

Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,

Eating grass on a mountain side so steep,

Ah, ' think I'll call it a sheep.

Slithering his way through the grass,

Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake,

Ah, ' think I'll call it a snake.

	masks

You that never have done nothin' but build to destroy

You play with my world like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyes

Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old you lie and deceive

A world war can't be won, and you want me to believe

But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain

Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire

↓

Then you sit back and watch while the death count gets

higher

You hide in your mansions while the young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled

Fear to bring children into the world

For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed

You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

How much do I know to talk out of turn

You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you

Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question: is your money that good?

Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?

I think you will find when your death takes its toll

All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul

And I hope that you die and your death will come soon

I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death bed

Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're

dead

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.

Chorus.

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly

through 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.

Chorus.

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.

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

Shelter From the Storm

{columns:2}

D	G	D
'Twas in another life time, →	One of toil and bloo	d.

When blackness was a virtue

	G
And the r	oad was full of mud.

I came in from the wilderness,

	G	D
A cr	eature void of form. → "Come	in" she said,

	G
"I'll give you, →	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.

{column_break}

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.

Simple Twist of Fate

D	G

They sat together in the park.

F#m

As the evening sky grew dark.

D	D7
She look at him and he felt a sp	ark,

G	Gm
Tingle to his bones. →	'Twas then he felt alone,

	D	A	G
And	wished that	he'd gone stra	ight.

	D	G	D
And wat	ched out for a s	imple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal.

A little confused I remember well.

Stopped into a strange hotel,

With the neon burning bright.

He felt the heat of the night,

Hit him like a frieght,

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,

↓

Were 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 did not care,

Threw the window open wide. → He felt an emptyness inside,

To which he just could not relate.

Bought on by a 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?

Once again for a simple twist of fate.

People tell you 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 to late.

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again

F	Dm	F	Dm
Oh the rag-man draws	circles →	Up and down the block.

	F	Dm
I'd	ask him what the matter	was

	Bb	C7
But I	know that he don't tal	k.

	Bb	F
And the	ladies treat me kind	ly

	Dm	F	Dm	F
And	furnish me with tape	→ But	deep inside my hear	t

	Bb	F	Am
I	know I can't escap	e →	Oh Mama,

	F	C	Dm
Can this really be the end → To be stuck	inside	of Mo	bile

	F	Bb	F
wi	th the Me	mphis blues agai	n

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

An' punched my cigarette" → Oh Mama

Can this really be th end → To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blus again.

Grandpa died last week

And now he's buried in the rock

But everybody talk about → How badly they were shocked.

But me I expected it to happen

I knew he'd lost control

When he built a fire on main street

And shot it full of holes. → Oh Mama

Can this really be th end → To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blus again.

Now the senator can down here

Showing everyone his gun. → Handing out free tickets

To the wedding of his son. → An' me I nearly got busted

An wouldn't it be my luck

To get caught without a ticket

And be discovered beneath a truck

Oh Mama → Can this really be th end

To be stuck inside of Mobile → With the Memphis blus again.

Now the preacher looked so baffled

↓

When I asked him why he dressed

With twenty pounds of headlines

Stapled to his chest

But he cursed when I proved to him

Then I whispered not even you can hide.

You see you're just like me → I hope your satisfied

Oh Mama → Can this really be th end

To be stuck inside of Mobile → With the Memphis blus again.

Now the rainman gave men two cures

Then he said "Jump right in" → The one was Texas medicine

The other railroad gin. → An like a fool I mixed them

An' it strangled up my mind

An' now people just get uglier

An' I have no sense of time. → Oh Mama

Can this really be th end → To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blus again.

When Ruthie says come see her

In her honkey-yonk lagoon,

Where I can watch her waltz for free

'Neath her Panamanian moon. → An' I say, "Aw come on now

You must know about my dedutante."

An' she says, "Your debutante knows just what you need

But I know what you want." → Oh Mama

Can this really be th end → To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blus again.

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street

Where the neon madmen climb

↓

They all fall there so perfectly.

It all seems so well timed. → An' here I sit so patiently

Waiting to find out what price

You have to pay to get out of

Going through all these things twice

Oh Mama → Can this really be th end

To be stuck inside of Mobile → With the Memphis blus again.

Tangled Up In Blue → Bob Dylan

A	A4	A	A4

A	G	A
Early one morning the	sun was shinin',	I was layin' in

	G
	bed.

A	G	D
Wonderin' if she	changed at all,	if her hair was still

red.

A	G	A
Her folks said our	lives together	sure was gonna be

	G
	rough.

A	G	D
They never did like mama's	homemade dress;	Papa's

bankbook wasn't big enough.

E	F#m
I was standin' on the	side of the road

A	D
Rain fallin' on my	shoes.

E	F#m
Headin' out for the	east coast

	A	E
Lord	knows I've paid some dues gettin'	through

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

A	G	A	G
She was married when	we first met,	soon to be di	vorced

A	G	D
I helped her out of a	jam I guess but I	used a little

too much force.

	A	G	A
We	drove that car as	far as we could, ab	andoned it out

	G
	west.

A	G	D
Split up up on a	dark sad night both agr	eein' it was

best.

E	F#m
She turned around to	look at me

	A	D
As	I was walkin'	away.

	E	F#m
I	heard her say o	ver my shoulder

	A	E
"We'll	meet again some day on the aven	ue"

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

A	G	A
I had a job in the	Great North Woods	workin' as a cook

	G
for	spell

	A	G	D
But I	never did like it	all that much and one	day the

↓

axe just fell.

	A	G	A
So I	drifted down to	New Orleans where I was	lucky

	G
'nough to be em	ployed

A	G	D
Workin' for a while on a	fishing boat right out	side

Delacroix.

	E	F#m
But	all the while I	was alone

	A	D	E	F#m
The	past was close be	hind →	I met a lot of	women

	A	E
But she	never escaped my mind and I just	grew

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

A	G	A
She was workin' in a	topless place when I	stopped in for

	G
a	beer.

	A	G	D
I	just kept lookin' at the	side of her face in the	spot

light so clear.

A	G	A
Later on as the	crowd thinned out I was	just about to do

	G
the	same.

	A	G	D
She was	standin' there in	back of my chair sayin' "	Tell

↓

me, don`t I know your na → me?"

{np}

E	F#m
I muttered something under	neath my breath.

	A	D
She	studied the lines on my	face.

	E	F#m
I	must admit I was a	little uneasy

	A	E
When she	bent down to tie the laces on my	shoe.

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

A	G	A	G
She lit a burner	on the stove and	offered me a	pipe.

	A	G	D
"I	thought you'd never say	hello" she said; "You	look

like the silent type."

A	G	A
Then she opened up a	book of poems and	handed it to

	G
	me.

A	G	D
Written by an I	talian poet from the	13th century.

	E	F#m
And	everyone of those	words rang true

	A	D
And	glowed like a burnin'	coal.

E	F#m
Flowing off of	every page

↓

	A	E
Like it was	written in my soul from me to	you.

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

A	G	A
I lived with him on	Montague Street in a	basement down

	G
the	stairs.

	A	G	D
There was	music in the caf	es at night and revo	lution in

the air.

A	G	A
Then he started into	dealing in slaves and	somethin'

	G
inside of him	died.

	A	G	D
She	had to sell every	thing she owned and just	froze up

inside.

E	F#m
Then at last when the	bottom fell out

A	D
I became with	drawn.

	E	F#m
The	only thing I knew	how to do

	A	E
Was to	keep on keepin' on like a bird that	flew

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

↓

A	G	A
Now I'm going	back again, I've got to	get to her

	G
some	how.

A	G	D
All the people we	used to know they're an ill	usion to me

now.

A	G	A	G
Some are matheme	ticians,	some are carpenter's	wives.

A	G	D
Don't know how it	all got started; I don't know	what

they're doin' with their li → ves.

	E	F#m	A	D
But	me I'm still	on the road →	Headin' for another	joint.

A	F#m
We always did	feel the same

	A	E
We just	saw it from a different point of	view.

G	D	A	A4	A	A4
Tangled	up in	blue.

The Mighty Quinn

For the t	imes they are a-	cha	ngi	ng!

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen,

And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again.

And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin,

And there's no telling who that it's naming.

For the loser now will be later to win,

For the times they are a-changing!

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call,

Don'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 raging.

↓

It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,

For the times they are a-changing!

Come mothers and fathers, throughout the land,

And don't criticize what you can't understand.

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command,

Your old road is rapidly aging.

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand,

For the times they are a-changing!

The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast,

The slow one now will later be fast.

As the present now will later be past,

The order is rapidly fading.

And the first one now will later be last,

For the times they are a-changing!

When the Ship Comes In

G	D11	C	G
Oh the time will come	up when the	winds will s	top

	Em	C	G
And the	breeze will	cease to be a-	breathin

	G	D11	C
Like the	stillness in the	wind before the	hurricane

	G
be	gins,

	G	D	G
The ho	ur that the	ship comes	in

	D11	C	G
And the	sea will s	plit and the	ships will hit

	D11	C	G
And the	sands on the s	horeline will be	shaking

	D11	C	G
And the	tide will sound and the w	aves will p	ound

	G	C	C/B	D/A	G
And the	morning	will	be a-	break	ing

Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path

And the seagulls will be a-smilin'

And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand

The hour that the ship comes in

And the words that are used for to get the ship confused

Will not be understood as they're spoken

Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night

And be buried on the bottom of the ocean

↓

A song will lift as the main sail shifts

And the boat drifts unto the shoreline

And the sun will respect every face on the deck

The hour that the ship comes in

And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold

For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'

And the ship's wise men will remind you once again

That the whole wide world is watchin'

Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes

And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're

dreamin'

But they'll pinch themselves and squeal

And they'll know that it's for real,

The hour that the ship comes in

And they'll raise their hands

Sayin' we'll meet all you demands

But we'll shout from the bow

Your days are numbered

And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide

And like Goliath they'll be conquered

With God On Our Side

	C	F	Em	G
Oh, my	name it means	no	thing, and my	age it means

	C
	less

	G	C	F	Em	Am
For the	country I	come	from is	called the Mid	west

	G	C	F	C	F	C
I was	taught and brought	up	there, the	laws to a	bide

	F	Em	G	F	C
And that the land I	live	in has	God	on its	side

Oh, the history books tell it, they tell it so well

The cavalry charged and the Indians fell

The cavalry charged and the Indians died

Oh the country was young then, with God on its side

The Spanish-American war had its day

And the Civil War too was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize

With guns in their hands and God on their side

Oh, the first World War, well it came and it went

And the reason for fighting I never did get

But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride

For you don't count the dead with God on your side

When the second World War came to an end

↓

We forgave the Germans and then we were friends

Though they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried

The Germans now too have God on their side

I've learned to hate Russians all through my whole life

If another war comes, it's them we must fight

To hate them and fear them, to run and to hide

And accept it all bravely with God on our side

But now we've got weapons of the chemical dust

If fire them we're forced to, then fire them we must

One push of the button and a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions with God on your side

In many a dark hour I've been thinking about this

That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss

But I can't think for you, you'll have to decide

Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side

So now as I'm leaving, I'm weary as hell

The confusion I'm feeling, ain't no tongue can tell

The words fill my head and fall to the floor

If God's on our side, He'll stop the next war
