Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues (Guitar)

E7                       E
Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine

E7                  E
I'm on the pavement thinking about the government

E7                          E
The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off

E7                         E
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off

A7
Look out kid, it's something you did

E7                         E
God knows when, but you're doing it again

           E7                      E    
You better duck down the alleyway, looking for a new friend

    B7
The man in the coonskin cap in the pig pen

      E7                       E
Wants eleven dollar bills, but you only got ten

E7                       E
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot

E7                        E
Talking that the heat put plants in the bed but

E7                         E
The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say

E7                           E
They must bust in early May, orders from the D.A.

A7
Look out kid, don't matter what you did

             E7                  E
Walk on your tip toes, don’t tie no bows

  E7                             E
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose

       B7
Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes

    E7                          E
You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

    E7                  E
Ah, get sick, get well, hang around the Ink Well

E7                           E
Ring a bell, hard to tell if anything is going to sell

E7                    E
Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille

E7                     E
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail

A7
Look out kid, you're gonna get hit

     E7               E
But losers, cheaters, six-time users

E7                 E
Hanging 'round the theaters

B7
Girl by the whirlpool's looking for a new fool

E7                        E
Don't follow leaders, and watch your parking meters

   E7                                E
Ah get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance

E7                        E                   
Get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success

E7                                 E
Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift

E7                                 E
Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift

A7
Look out kid, they keep it all hid

       E7                   E
Better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle

E7                  E
Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals

B7                    
Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum

    E7                         E
The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handle
