  15
  16 <p>Words and music Bob Dylan<br />
  17 Released on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">Blonde on Blonde</a> (1966) and in a live version on <a class="recordlink" href="../39_rah/index.htm">Live 1966</a> (1998)<br />
  18 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p><hr />
  19
  20 <p>Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)<br />
  21 And you might as well tune down the E string two steps, to get the dropped C tuning that he uses on Live 1966 (C-A-d-g-b-e').</p>
  22
  23 <p>The versions are quite similar, apart from (1) the little riff running through the album version, and (2) the basic chord alternation, which in the album version is C - F, and on <a class="recordlink" href="../39_rah/index.htm">Live 1966</a> C - Csus4. (it actually sounds like that's what Dylan is playing in the album version as well, but the little riff clearly alternates between C and F, so that's the predominant sound anyway).</p>

  50 When she said,&quot;Don't waste
  51      F                   C
  52 your words, they're just lies,&quot;
  53   F             C         F   C   F
  54 I cried she was deaf.
  55     C   F            C
  56 And she worked on my face
  57       F           C
  58 until breaking my eyes,
  59            F                  C      F   C  F
  60 Then said, &quot;What else you got left?&quot;
  61        Em
  62 It was then that I got up to leave
  63                         Dm
  64 But she said, &quot;Don't forget,
  65      C         F              C
  66 Everybody must give something back
  67     F              C       F  C  F
  68 For something they get.&quot;

  70 I stood there and hummed,
  71 I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
  72 And she buttoned her boot,
  73 And straightened her suit,
  74 Then she said, &quot;Don't get cute.&quot;
  75 So I forced my hands in my pockets
  76 And felt with my thumbs,
  77 And gallantly handed her
  78 My very last piece of gum.
  79
  80 She threw me outside,
  81 I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
  82 And after finding I'd
  83 Forgotten my shirt,
  84 I went back and knocked.
  85 I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
  86 And I tried to make sense
  87 Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
  88 That leaned up against . . .
  89
  90 Her Jamaican rum
  91 And when she did come, I asked her for some.
  92 She said, &quot;No, dear.&quot;
  93 I said, &quot;Your words aren't clear,
  94 You'd better spit out your gum.&quot;
  95 She screamed till her face got so red
  96 Then she fell on the floor,
  97 And I covered her up and then
  98 Thought I'd go look through her drawer.
  99
 100 And, when I was through
 101 I filled up my shoe
 102 And brought it to you.
 103 And you, you took me in,
 104 You loved me then
 105 You didn't waste time.
 106 And I, I never took much,
 107 I never asked for your crutch.
 108 Now don't ask for mine.
