  22 <p>These seem to be the chords on the album version: </p>
  23 <pre class="chords">
  24 G 320003
  25 C/g 3x2013
  26 Em9   05403x
  27 D7/F# 20021x
  28 Em 022000
  29 </pre>
  30
  31 <p>but note that in all recent live renditions, he plays: </p>
  32 <pre class="chords">
  33 G 320003
  34 C/g 3x2013
  35 &quot;D&quot; x54030
  36 C x32010
  37 Em 022000
  38 </pre>
  39
  40 <p>The theoretically inclined may note the interesting change that the
  41 third chord has undergone, mainly because of the change in what
  42 follows. <br />
  43 The chords are the same as for <a href="../02_freewheelin/girl_from_the_north_country.htm" class="songlink">Girl From the North Country</a>.</p>

 143 Is there something I can send you from across the sea
 144          Em9        D7/f#   G       C/g    G
 145 From the place that I'll be landing?
 146
 147 No, there's nothing you can send me my own true love.
 148 There's nothing I'm a-wishin' to be ownin'.
 149 Just a-carry yourself back to me unspoiled
 150 from across that lonesome ocean.
 151
 152 Ah, but I just though you might want something fine
 153 made of silver or of golden
 154 either from the mountains of Madrid
 155 or the coast of Barcelona.
 156
 157 But if I had the stars from the darkest night
 158 and the diamonds from the deepest ocean,
 159 I'd foresake them all for your sweet kiss,
 160 for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'
 161
 162 But I might be gone a long old time,
 163 and it's only that I'm askin'.
 164 Is there something I can send you to remember me by,
 165 To make your time more easy passin'?
 166
 167 Oh how can, how can you ask me again?
 168 It only brings me sorrow.
 169 The same thing I would want today
 170 I would want again tomorrow.
 171
 172 Oh I got a letter on a lonesome day.
 173 It was from her ship a'sailin'.
 174 Sayin' &quot;I don't know when I'll be comin' back again.
 175 It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.&quot;
 176
 177 If you my love must think that a'way
 178 I'm sure your mind is a'roamin'.
 179 I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
 180 but with the country to where you're goin'.
 181
 182 So take heed, take heed of the Western winds.
 183 Take heed of the stormy weather.
 184 And yes, there's something you can send back to me:
 185 Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather.
