  16 <p>Words and music Bob Dylan<br />
  17 Recorded Jan 21, 1966 during the <a class="recordlink" href="../07_bob/index.htm">Blonde on Blonde</a> sessions, and
  18 released on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">The Bootleg Series 1-3</a> (1991)<br /></p>
  19
  20 <p>Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  21
  22 <p>The &ldquo;Piano song&rdquo; <em>par exellence</em>, it takes some skill and some
  23 will (and it's revealing!) to make it sound good on a guitar. The
  24 original is one half tone higher, in C# major, so use a capo on the
  25 1st fret.<br />
  26 Note the similarity with <a href="../06_hwy61/like_a_rolling_stone.htm" class="songlink">Like A Rolling Stone</a>.</p>

  32  Your pawnbroker roared,
  33       Em             F
  34 Also, so, so did the landlord
  35     C/e   Dm     C/e F  G
  36 The scene was so crazy, Wasn't it?
  37 C             Dm
  38  Both were so glad,
  39 Em                          F
  40  To watch me destroy what I had
  41 C/e  Dm          C/e             F       G
  42 Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?

  46 Em                           Dm
  47  Why didn't you just leave me If you didn't want to stay?
  48 Em                                  Dm                     F        G
  49  Why'd you have to treat me so bad? Did it have to be that way?
  50 G   F   C/e   Dm     C       /b
  51 Now you stand here expectin' me
  52      Am     /g        F      C/e    G
  53 to remember something you forgot to say
  54          Am                                G
  55 Yes, and you, I see you're still with her, well
  56 Am                                                        G          G  F  Em  Dm
  57  That's fine 'cause she's comin' on so strange, can't you tell?

  61 C   Dm   C/e       F
  62 Somebody better explain
  63 C      Dm      C/e  F
  64  She's got her iron chain,
  65     C      Dm    C/e          F      G
  66 I'd do it, but I just can't remember how
  67 Am   G
  68  You talk to her
  69 F          C     G
  70 She's your lover now.
  71
  72 I already assumed
  73 That we were in the felony room
  74 But I ain't a judge, you don't have to be nice to me
  75 Will you please tell that
  76 To your friend in the cowboy hat
  77 You know he keeps on sayin' everything twice to me
  78   You know I was straight with you
  79   You know I never tried to change you in any way
  80   You know if you didn't want to be with me
  81   That you didn't have to stay.
  82 Now you stand here sayin' you forgive and forget.
  83 Honey, what can I say?
  84 And you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you reach?
  85 I see you kiss her on the cheek everytime she gives a speech
  86 With her picture books of the pyramid
  87 And her postcard of billy the kid
  88 why must evrybody bow?
  89 You better talk to her about it
  90 You're her lover now.
  91
  92 Oh everybody that cares Is goin' up the castle stairs
  93 But I'm not up in your castle, honey,
  94 It's true, I can't recall San Francisco at all
  95 I can't even rember El Paso, uh , honey
  96   You never had to be faithful
  97   I didn't want you to grieve
  98   Oh, why was it so hard to you
  99   If you didn't want to be with me, just to leave?
 100 Now you stand here
 101 while your finger's goin' up my sleeve
 102 An' you, just what do you do, anyway? Ain't there nothing you can say?
 103 She'll be standin' on the bar soon
 104 With a fish head an' a harpoon
 105 An' a fake beard plastered on her brow
 106 You'd better do somethin' quick
 107 She's your lover now.
 108
 109 Oh, why must I fall into this sadness?
 110 Do I look like Charles Atlas?
 111 Do you think I still got what you still got, baby?
 112 Her voice is really warm
 113 It's just that it ain't got no form
 114 But it's just like a dead man's last pistol shot, baby
 115   Oh, your mouth used to be naked,
 116   your eyes used to be so blue
 117   Your hurts used to be so nameless
 118   and your tears used to be so few
 119 Now your eyes cry wolf while your mouth cries:
 120 &quot;I'm not scared of animals like you.&quot;
 121 And you there's really nothing about you I can recall
 122 I just saw you that one time and you were just there that's all
 123 But I've already been kissed,
 124 I'm not gonna get into this
 125 I couldn't make it anyhow
 126 You do it for me
 127 You're her lover now
