1   THE BOXER

 

(C) I am just a poor boy though my story seldom (Am) told

I have (G) squandered my resistance

for a (G7) pocket-full of (G6) mumbles such as (C) promises

All lies and (Am) jest, still a (G) man hears what he (F) wants to hear

and disregards the (C) rest (G--G7--G6--C)

 

When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of a railway station running scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarter where the ragged people go

looking for the places only they would know

Lie la (Am) lie -- Lie la (G) lie la lie la lie lie la (Am) lie

Lie la (G) lie la la la la (F) Lie la la la la (C) lie

 

Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job

But I get no offers,

just a come-on from the whores on seventh Avenue

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there

Ooo-la-la la la la la

 

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone

Going home, where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me

Leading me, going home.

 

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down

Or cut him till he cryed out in his anger and his shame

"I am leaving I am leaving"

but the fighter still remains

 

Lie-la-la og svo framvegis.

 

 

2  I SHALL BE RELEASED

 

(A) They say every man can be re(Bm)placed

(C#m) Yet every (Bm) distance is not (A) near (E7)

(A) I see my light come (Bm) shining

(C#m) From the (Bm) west un-to the (A) east (E7)

            (A) Any day now, (Bm) any day now (C#m)

(A) Yet I swear I see my re(Bm)flexion

(C#m) Someplace so (Bm) high above this (A) wall (E7)

I see my light...

(A) Standing next to me in this lonely (Bm) crowd

(C#m) is a man who (Bm) swears he's not to (A) blame (E7)

(A) All day long I hear him (Bm) shout so loud

(C#m) crying out (Bm) that he was (A) framed (E7)

            I see my light...

   (C#m) I (Bm) shall be re(A)leased

 

3  HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

 

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the rising sun

And its been the ruin of many poor boy

And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor

she sawed my new blue jeans

My father was a gambling man

down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he’ll be satisfied

is when he’s all a drunk

Oh , mother tell your children

not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the house of the rising sun

With one foot on the platform

the other on the train

I’m going back to New Orleans

To wear my ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the rising sun

And its been the ruin of many poor boy

And God I know I’m one

ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE

 

(Am--G--F--E--------F--E)

 

Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like two jewels in the sky

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

on the pillow where you lie

But I don’t sense affection, no gratitude or love

Your loyalty is not to me

but to the stars above

     One more cup of coffee for the road

     One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

     To the valley below

Your daddy he's an outlaw

And a wanderer by trade

He'll teach you how to pick and choose

And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom

so no stranger does intrude

His voice it trembles as he calls out

for another plate of food

     One more cup...

Your sister sees the future

Like your mama and your self

You never learned to read and write

There’s no books upon your shelf

And your pleasure knows no limits

your voice is like  meadow lark

But your heart is like an ocean

mysterious and dark.

     One more cup...

 

 

 

 8  STREETS OF LONDON

 

(D)Have you seen the (A)old man

who (Bm)walks the streets of (F#m)London

(G)Kicking up the (D)papers with his (E7)worn out (A7)shoes

(D)In his eyes you (A)see no pride

his (Bm)hand kept loosely (F#m)by his side

(G)yesterdays (D)papers bringing (A7)yesterdays (D)news

 

(G)So how can you (D)tell me you’re (A7)lone(D)ly

(Bm)and say for (E7)you that the sun don’t (A7)shine (A9)

(D)Let me take you (A)by the hand

and (Bm)lead you through the (F#m)streets of London

(G)I´ll show you (D)something

that will (A7)make you change (D)your mind.

 

And have you seen the old girl

who walks the streets of London

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

She has no time for talking

She just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags

 

So how can you tell me...

 

And in the all night cafe

at a quarter past eleven

The same old man sitting there on his own

Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup

Each tea lasts an hour

and he wanders home alone

 

So how can you tell me...

 

And have you seen the old man

outside the seaman’s mission

Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

In our winter city the rain cries a little pity,

for one more forgotten hero

and a world that doesn't care

 

So how can you tell me...

 

 

 

9  TEQUILA SUNRISE

 

(G)Its anther tequila sunrise(d)

(Em)Every night when the (C)sun goes down

(Em)just another lonely (C)boy in town

(Am)Shes out running around(D7)

 

She wasn’t just another woman

and I could-nt keep from coming on

Its been so long

 

Oh and its a hollow feeling

when it comes down to dealing friends

It never ends

 

(Am)Take another (D) shot of courage (Bm)

wonder why the (E) right words never come (Am)

(B)You just get numb(Em7-A)

 

          Its another tequila sunrise

this old world still looks the same

another frame.

 

 

 

10  HOTEL CALIFORNIA

 

On the dark desert highway - cool wind in my hair

One smell of colitas - rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance - I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim - I had to stop for the night

 

As she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to my self this could be heaven and this could be hell

And she lid up a candle - She showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor - thought I heard them say:

“Welcome to the hotel California - such a lovely place- such a lovely face

living it up at the hotel California-any time of year you can find it here”

Her mind is different and twisted - she's got a Mercedes Benz

She's got a lot of pretty-pretty boys she calls friends

How they dance in the court-yard - sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember - some dance to forget

 

So I called up the captain please bring me my vine

And he said- we haven’t had that spirit here since 1969

And still those voices were calling from far away

wake you up in the middle of the night just to here them say ...

 

Mirrors on the ceiling - drink champagne on ice

we are all just prisoners here of our own device

In the masters chambers - gathered for the feast

stab it with there steely knives but they just cant kill the beast

 

Last thing I remembered I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

Eureka said the night man were grant to receive

you can check out any time you like but you can never leave

 

 

 

 

 

 

11  AND I LOVE HER

 

I give her all my love that’s all I do

and if you saw my love you-d love her to

I love her

 

She gives me every thing and tenderly

the kiss my lover brings she brings to me

and I love her

 

A love like ours could never die

as long as I have you near me

 

Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky

I know this love of mine will never die

and I love her

 

12  ALL MY LOVING

 

Close your (F#m) eyes and I'll (B7) kiss you

to(E)morrow I'll (C#m)miss you

Re(A)member I'll (F#m)always be true (D-B7)

and I'll (A)send all my (B7)loving to you(E)

13  LET IT BE

 

When I (C)find myself in (G)times of trouble

(Am)mother Mar(G)y (F)comes to me

(C)speaking words of wis(G)dom - let it (F)be   C-Dm7-C

And when the broken hearted people

living in the world agree

there will be an answer - let it be

For though they may be parted

there is still a chance that they will see

there will be an answer - let it be

 

let it (Am)be, let it (G)be, let it (F)be, let it (C)be

there will be an (G)answer - let it (C)be  C-Dm7-C

 

And when the night is cloudy

there is still a light that shines on me

shine until tomorrow - let it be

I wake up to the sound of music

mother Mary comes to me

speaking words of wisdom - let it be

let it be, let it...

drinking her vine

We talked until two and then she said

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh

I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath

 

And when I awoke I was alone

this bird had flown

So I lid a fire isn’t it good

Norwegian wood

(G)When I was (Bm)younger so much younger than today

Is there (Am)anybody going to listen to my story

(Dm)all about the girl who came to (Am)stay(E)

She's the kind of girl you want so much

it makes you sorry

Ah(F) (C)girl (Dm7-G7-C)girl

When I think of all the time I tried so hard to leave her

She will turn to me and start to cry

And she promises the earth to me and I believe her

Smiling faces I can see, but not for me

Text Box:  
 
 
 
 
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces
Of my shoe
Tangled up in blue
 
She lit a burner on the stove
And offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello she said
You look like the silent type
Then open up a book of poems 
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
>From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul
>From me to you
Tangled up in blue
 
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started dealing in slaves
And something inside of died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when the bottom finally feel out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue
 
So now I'm going on back again
I got to get to her some how
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't know what they're doing with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Heading' for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point
Of view
Tangled up in blue.
 
Be seeing you,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

45  Tangled Up In Blue
Bob Dylan
 
A  Asus4  A  Asus4 
 
(A)Early one morning the (G)sun was shining'
 (A)I was laying' in (G)bed.
Wondering if she'd changed at all  (A-G)
If her (D)hair was still red.
Her folks said our lives together, (A-G)
Sure was gonna be rough. (A-G)
They never did like Mama's home-made dress, (A-G)
Papa's (D)bank book wasn't big enough.
And (E)I was standing on the (F#m)side of the road,
 (A)Rain falling on my (D)shoes.
 (E)Heading out for the (F#m)old east coast,
 (A)Lord knows I've paid some (D)dues,
Getting (E)through,
 (G)Tangled (D)up in (A)blue.  ( Asus4  A  Asus4)
 
 
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a sad dark night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around to look at me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over her shoulder
We'll meet again some day
On the avenue
Tangled up in Blue
 
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that  much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was lucky to be employed
Working' for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew
Tangled up in blue
 
She was working in topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on when the crowd thinned out
I was just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me Don't I know your name
I muttered something underneath my breath

52 FOR NO-ONE

 

©Your day breaks, (C/B)your mind aches 

(Am)You find that all (C/G)her words of (F)kindness linger (Bb7)on

When she no ©longer needs you

 

She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you

 

                       

And in her (Dm) eyes you see (A7)nothing                      

(Dm) No sign of (A7)love behind the (Dm) tears          

Cried for no (A7)one                              

(Dm) A love that (A7)should have lasted (Dm) years …(G11 G7   (eða Gsus4   G))

 

You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead

You think she needs you ...CHORUS

 

You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him

 

Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be time when all the things she said

will fill your head

you won't forget her ...CHORUS

56     WORKING CLASS HERO
 
 

As soon as you're born they make you feel small (Am   G      Am)                   

By giving you no time instead of it all   (G    Am)

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all   (G       Am)

A working class hero is something to be    (Am     (D)      G          Am)

A working class hero is something to be    (Am     (D)      G          Am)

 

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

 

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Then they expect you to pick a career

When you can't really function you're so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

 

Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.

And you think you're so clever and classless and free

But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

 

There's room at the top they are telling you still

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be

 

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

And the spiders from M[D]ars. He played it left h[G]and, but made it to [Em]far,

Became the sp[A]ecial man, then we were Z[C/G]iggy's band.

 

[G]Ziggy really sang, s[Bm/F#]crewed up eyes and screwed down [C/G]hairdo

Like some cat from J[D]apan, he could lick 'em by s[G]miling

He could leave'em to h[Em]ang

Came on so lo[A]aded man, well hung and s[C/G]now-white tan.

      {Skipt milli F og F/E}

[Am]So w[G]here were the s[F]piders w[Am]hile the f[G]ly tried to b[F]reak our balls

[Am]Just the b[G]eer light to g[F]uide us,

So we b[D]itched about his fans and should we c[E]rush his sweet hands?

{ Intro x 2}

[G]Ziggy played for time, j[Bm/F#]iving us that we were v[C/G]oodoo 

The kids was just c[D]rass, he was the n[G]azz

With God given [Em]ass

He took it a[A]ll too far, but boy could he p[C/G]lay guitar.

 

[Am]Making l[G]ove with his [F]ego    Z[Am]iggy s[G]ucked up i[F]nto his mind

[Am]Like a l[G]eper me[F]ssiah

When the k[D]ids had killed the man I had to b[E]reak up the band.

(F#m)It's a wonder (B7) I can think at (E)all. (F#m - B7)

62 Trawling Soldier

 

Two days past eighteen    (A – D - G)

He was waiting for the bus in his army greens

Sat down in a booth in a cafe there

Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair

He's a little shy so she gave him a smile

So he said would you mind sitting down for a while

And talking to me

I'm feeling a little low

She said I'm off in an hour

And I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care

I got no one to send a letter to

Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

 

I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy  (F#m -  D – E7 – A)

Too young for him they told her

Waiting for the love of the travelling soldier

My love will never end

Waiting for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone when the letter says

My soldiers coming home

 

The letters came from an army camp

In California and Viet Nam

He told her of his heart and it might be love

And all of the things he was so scared of

He said when it's getting kinda tough over here

I think of that day sitting down at the pier

And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

Don't worry but

I won't be able to write for awhile

 

I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young for him they told her

Waiting for the love of the travelling soldier

My love will never end

Waiting for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone when the letter says

My soldiers coming home

 

 

 

One Friday night at a football game

The lords prayer said and the anthem sang

The man said

Folks would you bow your head

For the list of local Viet Name dead

Crying all alone under the stands

Was the piccolo player in the marching band

And one name read nobody really cared

But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

 

I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young for him they told her

Waiting for the love of the travelling soldier

My love will never end

Waiting for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone when the letter says

My soldiers coming

My soldiers coming home.
