I will not transcribe it like that because the organ plays regular chord shapes. Just like father like son, I have a bit of the problem understanding what Dylan is saying but I will try my best: Intro: F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)(4x) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmWell (x02210@1)you can walk like a stranger, head back in your hair F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmBringing (x02210@1)gifts, while you act so sincere F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmBringing (x02210@1)gifts, oh boy, he~s five years F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmA (x02210@1)game for rocks and traini...ing wheels F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmAm C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1) EmWell (022000@1)I don~t remember you from any of those books C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) EAshes (022100@1)to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmWhere~d (x02210@1)you ever learn to treat me like that F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmYou (x02210@1)don~t see that, baby ahh..., that famous stuff F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmYou (x02210@1)know the Harvard folds law, that penniless rough F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmYour (x02210@1)bad luck follows you like a heart attack F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmTwist (x02210@1)your fingers, soon as break your back F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmAm C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1) EmWell (022000@1)I don~t remember you from any of those books C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) EAshes (022100@1)to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmWhere~d (x02210@1)you ever learn to treat me like that F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmIt~s (x02210@1)coming from another withered mother who~s just like yours F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmBringing (x02210@1)you aches and all those mental sores F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmTake (x02210@1)a little half, so need some for yourself F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmLike (x02210@1)an itty in the gritty, they always seem by themselves F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmWell (x02210@1)you must be, had-to-be, one of these F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmHoney, (x02210@1)on the shed on the open tree F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmDidn~t (x02210@1)I meet you once in a liquor store F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmI (x02210@1)think I saw you hanging by the stage door F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmHanding (x02210@1)out programs to the family theater F (133211@1) Em (022000@1) AmDeprive (x02210@1)the row, so you don~t miss her or treat her Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1)You take it AmWhy (x02210@1)take it?
