As recorded by Cat Power (From the 2023 Album CAT POWER SINGS DYLAN: THE 1966 ROYAL ALBERT HALL CONCERT) [Intro] E A E A E A E G#m F#m E A E A E A E [Verse 1]

     C#m
When she said

       E          A                     E
"Don't waste your words, they're just lies"

  A             E
I cried she was deaf

        A            E
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes

            A                 E
Then said, "What else you got left?"

G#m
It was then that I got up to leave

               F#m
But she said, "Don't forget

     E
Everybody must give something back

              C#m    E  A
For something they get"

[Verse 2]

E
I stood there and hummed

         A         E
I tapped on her drum

                         A
I asked her, "How come?"

E
She buttoned her boot

    A
And straightened her suit

E
Then she said, "Don't be cute"

G#m
So I forced my hands in my pockets

              F#m
And felt with my thumbs

    E
And gallantly handed her

             A          E
My very last piece of gum

[Verse 3]

E   A           E
She threw me outside

  A               E
I stood in the dirt where everyone walked

                         A            E
But when finding out I'd forgotten my shirt

       A        E
I went back and knocked

G#m
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it

                        F#m
And I tried to make sense

            E
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair

E
That leaned up against

[Verse 4]

    A          E
Her Jamaican rum

    A                E     A           E
And when she did come, I asked her for some

    A          E
She said, "No, dear"

              A
I said, "Your words are not clear

E
You'd better spit out your gum"

G#m
She screamed 'til her face got so red

                     F#m
Then she fell on the floor

  E
I covered her up and then went a looked through her drawer

[Verse 5]

    A                 E
And when I was through

  A            E
I filled up my shoe

    A             E   A
And brought it to you

    E
And you, you took me in

    A           E
You loved me then

                       A
You did not waste time

    E
And I, I never took much

E
I never asked for your crutch

    A         E
Now don't ask for mine

[Outro] E A E A E A E A E A E A E G#m F#m E A E A E A E A E
