while i was sleeping

G A I'm sick of love*)G A

 That I'm in the Emthick of it

G A This kind of love G A

 I'm so Emsick of it

I see,

I see lovers in the meadow

I see,

I see silhouettes in the window

I watch them 'til they're gone

and they leave me hangin' on

to a shadow

I'm sick of love

I hear the clock tick

this kind of love

I'm lovesick

Sometimes

the silence can be like thunder

Sometimes

I wanna take to the road of plunder

Could you ever be true?

I think of you and I wonder

I'm sick of love

I wish I'd never met you

I'm sick of love

I'm tryin' to forget you

EmJust don't know what to Ddo

CI'd give anything Bto be with Emyou

(2) Dirt Road Blues

EGonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone lets me ride

AGonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone lets me Eride

BIf I can't find my baby

 I'm gonna run away and Ehide

Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back

pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back

Well, I been praying for salvation

Laying round in a one-room country shack

Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed

Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed

'Til there's nothing left to see

'Til the chains have been shattered and I been freed

But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above

looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above

Rolling through the rain and hail

Looking for the sunny side of love

Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same

Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same

I keep on walking

'til I hear her holler out my name

C /B Am [C/g]

It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow

FYou left me CstandingG in the doorway Dcryin'

FI got nothin' to go back to Cnow.

The light in this place is so bad

Makin' me sick in the head

All the laughter is just makin' me sad

The stars have turned cherry red

I'm strummin' on my gay guitar

Smokin' a cheap cigar

The ghost of our old love has not gone away

Don't look it like it will anytime soon

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'

Under the midnight moon.

Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't

But not tonight and it won't be here

There are things I could say, but I don't

I know the mercy of God must be near

I been ridin a midnight train

Got ice water in my veins

I would be crazy if I took you back

It would go up against every rule

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'

Sufferin' like a fool.

When the last rays of daylight go down

Buddy you'll roll no more

I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard

I wonder who they're ringin' for

I know I can't win

But my heart just won't give in

Last night I danced with a stranger

But she just reminded me you were the one

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'

In the dark land of the sun.

I eat when I'm hungry drink when I'm dry

And live my life on the square

And even if the flesh falls off of my face

I know someone will be there to care

It always means so much

Even the softest touch

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation

There's no words that need to be said

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'

Blues wrapped around my head.

here the chords dylan used

(4) Million Miles

EmYou took a part of me that I really miss

I keep asking myself how long it can go on like this

 You A7told yourself a lie

 Thats alright mama I told myself one Emtoo

 I B7try to get closer but I'm A7still a million miles from Emyou

You took the silver, you took the gold

You left me standing out in the cold

People asked about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew

Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

I'm driftin in and out of dreamless sleep

Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep

Did so many things I never did intend to do

And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low *)

I need every bit of it for the places that I go

Sometimes I wonder, tell us just what its all coming to

Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

...

Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink

Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think

Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who

Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Yes the last thing you said before you hit the street

Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet

I said thats alright mamma you, you do what you gotta do

Well I try to get closer I'm still a million miles from you

Rock me pretty baby rock me all at once,

Rock me for a little while

Rock me for a couple of months And I'll rock you too

I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Well there's voices in the night trying to be heard

I'm sitting here listening to every mind-pollutin' word

I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two

Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

  [F/c] [G/b] [G(add9)] F

or

  [F/c] [G/b] [G(add9)] F

FThe air is gettin' hotterG, there's a Frumblin' in the skies. C

FI've been wadin' through the high muddy Gwaters,

 But the Fheat riseth in my Ceyes.

 EveryAm/F♯day your memory goes Fdimmer,

DmIt doesn't haunt me like it Cdid before.

FI've been walkin' through the Gmiddle of nowhere,

FTryin' to get to heaven before they Cclose the door.

When I was in Missouri, they would not let me be.

I had to leave there in a hurry, I only saw what they let me see.

You broke a heart that loved you,

Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore.

I've been walkin' that lonesome valley,

Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains.

I can hear their hearts a-beatin', like pendulum swingin' on chains.

When you think that you've lost everything,

You find out you can always lose a little more.

I'm just going down the road feelin' bad,

Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

I'm goin' down the river, down to New Orleans.

They tell me everything is gonna be all right,

But I don't know what all right even means.

I was ridin' in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane,

Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore.

I've been all around the world boys,

I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.

Gotta sleep down in the parlor, and relive my dreams.

I close my eyes and I wonder, if everything is as hollow as it seems.

Some trains don't pull no gamblers,

No midnight ramblers like they did before.

I've been to Sugartown, I shook the sugar down,

Now I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door

(6) Till I fell In Love With You

EWell my nerves are exploding

And my body is tense

I feel like the whole world

got me pinned up against the fence

 I been hit too Ahard

Seen too much

 Nothing can Eheal me now

But your touch

BI just don't know what I'm gonna do

 I was Aallright 'til I Efell in love with you

Well my house is on fire

Burnin' to the sky

Well I thought it would rain

But the clouds passed by

I feel like I'm comin'

To the end of my way

But I know God is my shield

And he won't lead me astray

Still I don't know what I'm gonna do

I was allright 'til I fell in love with you

Boys in the street

Beginnin' to play

Girls like birds

Flyin' away

When I'm gone

You will remember my name

I'm gonna win my way

To wealth and fame

Yet I just don't know what I'm gonna do

I was allright 'til I fell in love with you

Well junk's pilin' up

Takin' up space

My eyes feel

Like they're fallin' off my face

Sweat fallin' down

I'm starin' at the floor

I'm thinkin' about that girl

Who won't be back no more

I just don't know what to do

I was allright 'til I fell in love with you

Well I'm tired of talkin'

I'm tired of tryin' to explain

My attempts to please you

They were all in vain

Tomorrow night

Before the sun goes down

If I'm still among the livin'

I'll be Dixie bound

Still I just don't know what I'm gonna do

I was allright 'til I fell in love with you

(7) Not Dark Yet

C [F/c] C

Shadows are falling and I been here all day

  [F/c] C

It's too hot to sleep and time is running away

GFeel like my G/Fsoul has C/Eturned into Csteel

Am [C/g] F C

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

GThere's not even G/Froom enough to C/Ebe anywhCere

Am [C/g] F C

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writin' what was in her mind

I just don't see why I should even care

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris

I followed the river and I got to the sea

I've been down to the bottom of a world full of lies

I ain't lookin for nothin' in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here, against my will*)

I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb

I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

(8) Cold Irons Bound

Em7I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around

now I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown

I went to church on Sunday and she passed by

and my love for her is taking such a long time to die

 Lord I'm A♯dimwaist deep, A7waist deep in the Em7mist

 It's almost A♯dimlike, almosA7t like I Em7don't exist

 I'm A720 miles out of Gtown, Cold Irons Em7bound

The walls of pride is high and wide,

can't see over to the other side

It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay,

it's sadder still to feel your heart torn away

one look at you and I'm out of control

like the universe has swallowed me whole

I'm 20 miles out of town and Cold Irons bound

There's too many people, too many to recall

I thought some of 'em were friends of mine

I was wrong about 'em all

Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud

Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, I found my world in you

but your love just hasn't proved true

I'm 20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound

20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound

Well the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds

reality has always had too many heads

some things last longer than you think they will

there are some kind of things you can never kill

it's you and you only I'm thinking about

but you can't see in, and it's hard looking out

I'm 20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound

Well the fat's in the fire, and the water's in the tank

and the whiskey's in the jar, and the money's in the bank

I tried to love and protect you because I cared

I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared

but looking at you and I'm on my bended knee

you have no idea what you do to me

I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound

(9) Make me Feel My Love

C [G/b]

When the rain is blowing in your face

Gm/A♯ [F/a]

and the whole world is on your case

Fm/G♯ [C/g]

I could offer a warm embrace

D9/[f#] G11 C

to make you feel my love

When evening shatters and the stars appear

and there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

to make you feel my love

FI know you haven't made your Cmind up yet

Cbut I would Fnever do you Cwrong

FI've known it from the moment Cthat we met

Dmno doubt in my mind where you Gbelong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

Oh there's nothing that I wouldn't do

to make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

and on the highway of regret

the winds of change are blowing wild and free

you ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

nothing that I wouldn't do

go to the ends of the earth for you

to make you feel my love

(10) Cant wait

EmI can't wait

AWait for you to change my Emmind

It's late

AI'm tryin to walk the Emline

Well it's way past midnight

And there's some people all around

ASome on their way up

Some on their way down

EmThe air burns and I'm tryin to thAink straight

CAnd I don't know B7how much longer I can Emwait

I'm your man

I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew

You understand

That my heart can't go on beating without you

Well your loveliness has wounded me

I'm reeling from the blow

I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so

I'm breathin' hard standin' at the gate

And I don't know how much longer I can wait

Skies are gray

I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow

Night or day

It doesn't matter where I go anymore I just go 1)

If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do

I'd like to think I could control myself

But it isn't true

That's how it is

When things disintegrate

And I don't know how much longer I can wait

 I'm doomed to Alove you

 I been rollin' through stormy Emweather

 I'm thinkin' Aof you

 And all the places we could roam Bsus4together

 It's mighty Emfunny

The end of time has just begun

Oh honey, after all these years you're still the one

Well I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind

I left my life with you

Somewhere back there along the line

I thought somehow that I would be spared this day

I don't know how much longer I can wait

version 2

 I can't Emwait

A Wait for you to change my Emmind

It's late

AI'm tryin to walk the Emline

*)

Well it's way past midnight

And there's some people all around

ASome on their way up

Some on their way down

EmThe air burns and I'm tryin to thAink straight

 And I donC't know how much B11longer I can Emwait

 I'm doomed to Alove you

 I been rollin' through stormy Emweather

 I'm thinkin' Aof you

 And all the places we could roam Bsus4together

(11) Highlands

E7Well my heart's in The Highlands, gentle and fair

Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air

ABluebells blazing where the Aberdeen waters E7flow

 Well my B7heart's in The Highlands

 I'm gonna Ago there when I feel good enough to E7go

Windows were shaking all night in my dreams

Everything was exactly the way that it seems

Woke up this mornin' and I looked at the same old page

Same old rat race, life in the same old cage

I don't want nothin' from anyone, ain't that much to take

Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake

Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery

I wish someone'd come and push back the clock for me

Well my heart's in The Highlands wherever I roam

That's where I'll be when I get called home

The wind it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme

Well my heart's in The Highlands

I can only get there one step at a time

I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound

Someone's always yellin' "Turn it down"

Feel like I'm driftin', driftin' from scene to scene

I'm wonderin' what in the devil could it all possibly mean?

Insanity is smashin' up against my soul

You could say I was on anything but a roll

If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top

What would I do with it anyway, maybe take it to the pawn shop

My heart's in The Highlands at the break of dawn

by the beautiful lake of the Black Swan

Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low

Well my heart's in The Highlands only place left to go

I'm in Boston town in some restaurant

I got no idea what I want

or maybe I do but I'm just really not sure

Waitress comes over, nobody in the place but me and her

Well it must be a holiday, there's nobody around

She studies me closely as I sit down

She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs

I said "Tell me what I want"

She say "You probably want hard boiled eggs"

I said "That's right, bring me some"

She says "We ain't got any, you picked the wrong time to come"

then she says "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me"

I said "I would if I could but

I don't do sketches from memory"

Well she's?? near she says "I'm right here in front of you or haven't you looked"

I say "All right I know but I don't have my drawin' book"

She gives me a napkin, she say "You can do it on that"

I say "Yes I could but I don't know where my pencil is at"

She pulls one out from behind her ear

She says "Alright now go ahead draw me I'm stayin' right here"

I make a few lines and I show it for her to see

Well she takes the napkin and throws it back and says

"That don't look a thing like me"

I said "Oh kind miss, it most certainly does"

She say "You must be joking", I said "I wish I was"

She says "You don't read women authors do ya?"

at least that's what I think I hear her say

Well I say "How would you know, and what would it matter anyway"

Well she says "Ya just don't seem like ya do", I said "You're way wrong"

She says "Which ones have you read then?", I say "Read Erica Jong"

She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my chair

I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's goin' anywhere

Well my heart's in The Highlands with the horses and hounds

way up in the border country far from the towns

with the twang of the arrow and the snap of the bow

My heart's in The Highlands, can't see any other way to go

Every day is the same thing, out the door

feel further away than ever before

Some things in life it just gets too late to learn

Well I'm lost somewhere, I must have made a few bad turns

I see people in the park, forgettin' their troubles and woes

They're drinkin' and dancin', wearin' bright colored clothes

All the young men with the young women lookin' so good

Well I'd trade places with any of 'em, in a minute if I could

I'm crossin' the street to get away from a mangy dog

talkin' to myself in a monologue

I think what I need might be a full length leather coat

Somebody just asked me if I'm registered to vote

The sun is beginnin' to shine on me

But it's not like the sun that used to be

The party's over and there's less and less to say

I got new eyes, everything looks far away

Well my heart's in The Highlands at the break of day

over the hills and far away

There's a way to get there, and I'll figure it out somehow

Well I'm already there in my mind and that's good enough for now
