I will not transcribe it like that because the organ plays regular chord shapes. Just like father like son, I have a bit of the problem understanding what Dylan is saying but I will try my best: Intro: F Em Am (4x)
             F                     Em                Am
Well you can walk like a stranger, head back in your hair

         F                    Em    Am
Bringing gifts, while you act so sincere
F Em Am F Em Am
         F            Em          Am
Bringing gifts, oh boy, he~s five years

           F         Em        Am
A game for rocks and traini...ing wheels
F Em Am F Em Am Am
               C      G        F   G        Em
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

         C          G        F          G         Em   E
Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box

F                Em                    Am
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that
F Em Am F Em Am
          F               Em                 Am
You don~t see that, baby ahh..., that famous stuff

             F             Em                 Am
You know the Harvard folds law, that penniless rough
F Em Am F Em Am
     F                Em                 Am
Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack

           F                Em        Am
Twist your fingers, soon as break your back
F Em Am F Em Am Am
               C      G        F   G        Em
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

         C          G        F          G         Em   E
Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box

F                Em                    Am
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that
F Em Am
     F                            Em                     Am
It~s coming from another withered mother who~s just like yours

             F                 Em       Am
Bringing you aches and all those mental sores

F                      Em                Am
Take a little half, so need some for yourself

        F                          Em               Am
Like an itty in the gritty, they always seem by themselves

         F                 Em       Am
Well you must be, had-to-be, one of these

              F           Em    Am
Honey, on the shed on the open tree

F                 Em               Am
Didn~t I meet you once in a liquor store

                  F              Em    Am
I think I saw you hanging by the stage door

            F               Em         Am
Handing out programs to the family theater

            F           Em             Am
Deprive the row, so you don~t miss her or treat her
Am Am Am Am You take it
Am
Why take it?

G
Fast and ever

       F        Em      Dm
If you gave yourself a chance...

     C         G      F        G            Em
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

                   C    G      F         G         Em   E
Ashes to, ashes and six feet under faced down in a box

F                Em                    Am
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that?
F Em Am... (the song fades out on these chords)
