  14
  15
  16 <p>Written by Bob Dylan<br />
  17 Performed during the gospel tours in 1980<br />
  18 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  19
  20 <p>Played (with Bob at the piano) in Eb major, which isn't very nice of
  21 him.<br />
  22 Here are two capoed alternatives, with capo on 1st and 3rd fret
  23 respectively.</p>
  24
  25 <p>The most distinctive chord here is the one I've called F6; it's a huge
  26 chord, with something of F, something of Dm, quite a lot of D7-10
  27 (x5456x) in it, but F6 is a fair approximation.<br />
  28 The same would have to be said about some of the other &ldquo;grand&rdquo;
  29 chords (at &ldquo;trust&rdquo; and the last &ldquo;keep&rdquo;) - they are
  30 approximations. You can't have it all on one single guitar (then again
  31 it's amazing how much you <em>can</em> have)</p>
  32
  33 <p>Chords:</p>
  34 <pre class="chords">
  35 A11  x00000
  36 G11  3x3211
  37 F6   133231 (you'll probably have to play 13x231)

  58 Oh, darlin',   can we keep it between us?
  59
  60 Let's keep it between us.
  61 We've been through too much together that they've never shared.
  62 They've had nothing to say to us before,
  63 Now all of a sudden it's as if they've always cared.
  64 All we need is honesty,
  65 just a little humility and trust.
  66 Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?

  83 Can we lay back for a moment
  84 'Fore the whole thing breaks down and goes to fire?
  85 If we can't settle it by ourselves,
  86 we must be worse off than they think we are.
  87 Backseat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel,
  88 but they sure know how to make a fuss.
  89 Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
  90
  91 Can we lay back for a moment
  92 'fore the whole [...] risin' over your head?
  93 They talked about us both behind our back
  94 so loud I could hear every word they said.
  95 In the company of fools we've falled, honey,
  96 Let's just move to the back of the back of the bus
  97 Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
