Bob Dylan, 1968 [Verse 1]
C                                              E7
Dear Landlord, please don't put a price on my soul,

Am            Am/G  F                Em      Dm
My burden is heavy, my dreams are beyond control.

F                             F7
When that steamboat whistle blows,

Bb
I'm gonna give you all I got to give,

C             Dm7    C        C7
And I do hope you receive it well,

          F         Gm                  Dm     F G
Depending on the way you feel that you live.
[Verse 2]
C                                               E7
Dear Landlord, please heed these words that I speak,

Am                      Am/G F                   Em     Dm
I know you've suffered much, but in this you are not so unique.

F                                     F7
All of us at times we might work too hard

Bb
To have it too fast and too much,

C               Dm7                  C             C7
And anyone can fill his life up with things he can see

F      Gm            Dm    F G
But he just cannot touch.
[Verse 3]
C                                      E7
Dear Landlord, please don't dismiss my case,

Am                Am/G  F                        Em        Dm
I'm not about to argue, I'm not about to move to no other place.

F                                   F7
Now each of us has his own special gift,

Bb
And you know this was meant to be true,

C          Dm7         C       C7
And if you don't underestimate me,

F            Gm       Dm   F G
I won't underestimate you.
