It's probably pretty true to Dylan's version, though, although there may be about 1000 more verses that Dylan wrote and Jerry didn't sing (Dylan is a rather loquacious songwriter). Each chord is 1/2 measure (two beats) except for the [F-Em] figure which is 1/2 measure total. I originally thought that each chord would be one full measure, but when I listened to it again, I realised that the actual beat was half as fast as I thought it was. Listen to the recording if you've got it and see if you agree. Just for reference, I counted the recording at about 55-60 bpm. Also, if anybody can fill me in on the spots where I've got ???'s instead of lyrics, I'd most appreciate it. Am Am Am Em Em Sen or, Sen or, can you F C tell me where we're heading; Lincoln Em Am Am County or Arma geddon? G F F [F-Em] Seems like I've been down this road be fore. Dm Dm Am Is there any truth in that, Sen or? Am Am Am Em Em Sen or, Sen or, do you F C know where she's hiding? Em Am Am How long we gonna be riding? G F [F-Em] How long must I keep my eyes ??? to the door? Dm Dm Am Will there be any comfort there, Sen or? Am C C E Is that wicked wind still blowin' on that upper deck? E F F Am Is that iron cross still hangin' down from a round your neck? Am C C E Is that marchin' band still playin' in that vacant lot, E F F Am where she held me in her arms one time and said for get me not? Am Am Am Em Em Sen or, Sen or, I can F C see that painted wagon, smell the Em Am Am tail of the dragon. G F F [F-Em] I can't stand the suspense any more. Can you Dm Dm Am tell me who to contact here, Sen or? [Instrumental - Repeat Chords of the Verses x2] Am C C E Well the last thing I reme mber, 'fore I stripped in heat E F F Am Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a ??? Am C C E and a gypsy with a broken bag and a flashing ring E F F Am said son this aint no dream, this time it's the real thing Am Am Am Em Em Sen or, Sen or, you know their F C hearts are hard as leather, gimme a Em Am Am minute, lemme get it to gether. G F F [F-Em] I just gotta pick my self up off the floor Dm Dm Am I'm ready when you are, Sen or Am Am Am Em Em Sen or, Sen or, let's F C disconnect these cables, Em Am overturn these tables. G F F [F-Em] This place don't make sense to me no more. Can you Dm Dm Am tell me what we're waiting for, Sen or -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joshua Bardwell | "May be going to hell in a bucket, baby Internet: [email protected] | But at least I'm enjoying the ride!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
