Bob Dylan – Belle Isle (Guitar)

     C                         F
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view

     C          G      C
The fair fields all alone,

                      F
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,

       G                         C
Where beauty and pleasure were known.

   Am                       Em
I spied a fair maid at her labors,

       Am                      G7
Which caused me to stay for a while,

       C                          Em
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,

  F                            C
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.

             Am            Em
I humbled my self to her beauty.

       F                    C
"fair maiden where do you belong?

              Am          Em
Are you from heaven descended,

   F                      G7
A biding in Cupid's fair throne?"

       Am                     Em
"young man i will tell you a secret.

     Am                      Em
It's true I'm a maid that is poor

        C                         Am
And to part from my vows and my promise,

        F                       Fm
That's more then my heart can endure."

        C                      Am
"there fore, I remain at my service,

         Em                          G7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,

     C            Em             Am
And wait for the lad that has left me

       F           G              C
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."

        C         Am           Em
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.

      F                      C
'Tis true I come here in disguise.

         Am                Em        Am
I came to fulfill our last promise,

     Dm                  G7
And hope to give you a surprise."

       Am                          G
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly

            Am         Em             G7
And you've been in my heart all the while.

    C           Em        Am
For me there is no other damsel

          F              G               C
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
