  16 <p>Words and music Bob Dylan<br />
  17 Released on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">Planet Waves</a> (1974)<br />
  18 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  19
  20 <p>Written during the recording sessions, recorded Dylan <em>sans</em>
  21 band--<em>sans</em> much rehearsal too, one might add. Especially the
  22 third line was difficult to get right, and as soon as he finds a
  23 version he's confortable with, he plays a harp verse, and forgets how
  24 he did that line. I've given the chords for this line for each
  25 verse. Likewise, after the second harp break, he forgets that the last
  26 chord of the first line should be D major, not D minor. In the last
  27 verse he corrects his mistake.<br />
  28 The harp solos are unimitable &ndash; don't even try. </p>

  63   Am                 C               D
  64 I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love
  65   Am                 C              G
  66 I love you more than money and more than the stars above
  67   F                  Am       C/g       Dm
  68 I love you more than madness, more than dreams upon the sea
  69   Am                 C                G
  70 I love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
  71
  72 Ever since you walked right in the circle's been complete
  73 I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street
  74        F                C               G      Dm
  75 In the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun
  76 I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.            C/g G
  77
  78 You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live
  79 When I was deep in powerty you taught me how to give
  80 F                  C                  Dm
  81 Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole
  82 I love you more than ever and it binds me to this all.

  93 You gave me babies, one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life
  94 Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife
  95    F                     Am         /a-/b  C            G
  96 My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie
  97 But I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
  98
  99 The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth
 100 We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth
 101        F                Am                C         G      Dm
 102 What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
 103 But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
 104
 105 It's never been my duty to remake the world at large
 106 Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge
 107          F                  Am          /b     C                 Dm
 108 'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend
 109 And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.

 122 And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride
 123            F             C          Dm
 124 You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece

 129 Just being next to you is a natural thing for me
 130     F             C              Dm
 131 And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on
 132 'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
