Ain't Talking (Alternate Version) – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Bob Dylan
Recorded in 2006
From: "The Bootleg Series Vol. 08: Tell Tale Signs. Rare and Unreleased
1989-2006 [Disc 2]"
Tabbed by: maguri
Great alternate version: different key, different lyrics.
The song was reworked and finished for "Modern Times".
The "Modern Times" recording is in Abm and the second chord
in the verses (here D7) is indeed a minor chord. The major chord
in this early version sounds strange and beautiful. Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
Am As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden Am The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines D7 I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain Am Someone hit me from behind Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am Through this weary world of woe Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am No one on earth would ever know
[Verse 2]
Am They say prayer has the power to help Am So pray from the mother Am In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell D7 I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others Am But oh, mother, things ain't going well Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am D7 Am I'll burn that bridge before you get across Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
[Verse 3]
Am I'm all worn out by weepin' Am My eyes are full of tears and my lips are dry D7 If I ever catch my opponents sleepin' Am I'll slaughter them where they lie Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am [D7] Am Through the world mysterious and vague Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am Walking through the cities of the plague
[Verse 4]
Am The whole world is filled with speculation Am The whole wide world which people say is round D7 I got no time for idle conversation Am I need to find a doctor in this town Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am All roads leadin to the west Am Heart burnin' – still yearnin' Em G Am I'm gonna throw myself upon your lovin' breast

[Verse 5]
Am It's a fresh new day of a brand and a glorious autums Am The queen of love is coming across the grass D7 [?] they call her anything but Madam Am No-one flirts with her of even winks a pass [?] Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am D7 Am Standing outside the gates of wrath Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am Take a little trip down the primrose path
[Verse 6]
Am I got the worst old [?] feeling and it's getting stronger Am I'm all out with public service, I'm beginning to crack D7 I won't stay up any longer Am I'll revenge my father's death and I'll step back Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am Hand me down my walking cane Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am Trying to get you out of my miserable brain
[Verse 7]
Am As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden Am The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines D7 I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain Am Someone hit me from behind Am Ain't talkin', just walkin' Am You're ridin' high and down you go Am Heart burnin', still yearnin' Em G Am No one on earth would ever know
