Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues chords Bob Dylan 1965 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Like_Tom_Thumb%27s_Blues D C G 2x
            G
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez,

         C           G
and it's Easter time too
And your gravity fails,
    C                         G
and negativity don't pull you through

C
Don't put on any airs,

                                  G
when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue

         D
They got some hungry women there, 

         C                       G
and they really make a mess outa you.

G
Now if you see Saint Annie,

C                        G
please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move,
   C                    G
my fingers are all in a knot

  C
I don't have the strength,

                           G
to get up and take another shot

       D
And my best friend, my doctor,

      C                        G
won't even say what it is I've got.

G
Sweet Melinda,

    C                                G
the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English,
          C                     G
and she invites you up into her room

    C
And you're so kind,

    C                            G
and careful not to go to her too soon

        D
And she takes your voice,

    C                         G
and leaves you howling at the moon.

G
Up on Housing Project Hill,

     C                 G
it's either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other,
       C                                   G
though neither of them are to be what they claim

   C
If you're lookin' to get silly,

    C                                G
you better go back to from where you came

            D
Because the cops don't need you,

    C                   G
and man they expect the same.

G
Now all the authorities,

C                          G
they just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms,
     C           G
into leaving his post

    C
And picking up Angel who,

                           G
just arrived here from the coast

    D
Who looked so fine at first,

    C                        G
but left looking just like a ghost.
G C G C G C G D C G
G
I started out on burgundy,

    C                   G
but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind me,
         C        G
when the game got rough

        C
But the joke was on me,

                               G
there was nobody even there to bluff

          D
I'm going back to New York City,

  C                    G
I do believe I've had enough.
