Alone And Forsaken

Am
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
Em
Am
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Am
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Em
Am
Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone The roses have faded, there's frost at my door The birds in the morning don't sing anymore The grass in the valley is starting to die And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
F
C
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Am
Oh Lord if You hear me please hold to my hand
Em
Am
Oh please understand Oh where has she gone to, oh where can she be? She may have forsaken some other like me She promised to honor to love and obey Each vow was a play thing that she threw away The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray A hound in the distance is starting to bay I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of Forsaken forgotten without any love Alone and forsaken by fate and by man Oh Lord if You hear me please hold to my hand Oh please understand

I can see your mansion on the hill
Instrumental verse
Do you recall when we parted The story to me you revealed You said you could live without love dear In your loveless mansion on the hill I've waited all through the years love To give you a heart true and real 'Cause I know you're living in sorrow In your loveless mansion on the hill The light shine bright from your window The trees stand so silent and still I know you're alone with your pride dear In your loveless mansion on the hill

Can't Get You Off Of My Mind

Oh, I can't get you off of my mind

When I try, I'm just wasting my time
C
C7
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
F
D7
All night long I've cried
C
G
C
But I can't get you off of my mind Didn't think you would leave me behind But I guess you're the two-timin' kind Do you think that it's smart To jump from heart to heart When I can't get you off of my mind Oh, I can't get you off of my mind When I try, I'm just wasting my time Lord, I've tried and I've tried All night long I've cried But I can't get you off of my mind You believe that a true love is blind So you fool every new love you find You've got stars in your eyes But they can't hide the lies Oh, I can't get you off my mind Oh, I can't get you off of my mind When I try, I'm just wasting my time Lord, I've tried and I've tried All night long I've cried But I can't get you off of my mind

Cold, Cold Heart

A7
D
D
A7
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
D
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
G
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
A7
D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart
D
A7
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
D
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
G
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
A7
D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart
D
A7
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
D
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
G
Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart
A7
D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart
D
A7
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
D
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
G
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
A7
D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart

Everything's OK

G
C
I went to the country just the other day
D7
G
To see my Uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away
G
C
I asked him how he'd been, since last I'd passed his way
D7
G
He rubbed his chin, here's what he had to say My wife's been sick, the young 'uns too And I'm darn near down with the flu The cow's gone dry, and them hens won't lay But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died The bees got mad and they left the hive The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay But we're still a-livin' so everything's OK The porch rotted down, that's more expense The darned old mule, he tore down the fence The mortgage is due and I can't pay But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans The darn rabbits, they got the turnip greens And my Ma-in-law just moved in to stay But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK My land's so poor, so hard and yeller You have to sit on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbrella And it rains out here nearly every day But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The well's gone dry and I have to tote the water Up from the spring, about a mile and a quarter My helper, he quit, for the lack of pay But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The house it leaks, it needs a new top When it rains it wets everything we got The chimney fell down just yesterday But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The corn meal's gone and the meat's run out Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse The preacher's comin' Sunday to spend the day But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK The canned stuff's spoiled, else the jar's got broke And all we got left is one old billy goat We're gonna have a new baby about the first of May But we're still a-livin', so everything's OK My crop it rotted in the ground I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down But we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days So after all, everything's in purty good shape

Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old table spoon
G
D
A
D
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin' on my hands and howlin' at the moon Well Sug, I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad And then I even went and lost what little sense I had Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon You got me chasin' rabbits, pullin' out my hair and howlin' at the moon
Instrumental verse
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me I ate three bones for dinner today, I tried to tree a 'coon You got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas and howlin' at the moon
Instrumental verse
I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass I pulled him up and I hollered whoa and said fill him up with gas The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham he changed my tune You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth and howlin' at the moon I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard But honey baby, when I fell the whole world must have jarred I think I'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom You got me chasin' rabbits, pickin' out rings and howlin' at the moon

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

D
G
G
Now you're lookin' at a man that's getting kinda mad
G
I had lots of luck but it's all been bad
D7
No matter how I struggle and strive
G
I'll never get out of this world alive My fishin' pole's broke, the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
C
A distant uncle passed away
G
And left me quite a batch
C
And I was living high until that fatal day
D7
A lawyer proved I wasn't born, I was only hatched Everything's against me and it's got me down If I jumped in the river I would probably drown No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
Instrumental verse x2
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time Are full of holes and nails And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow 'Cause nothing's ever gonna be alright nohow No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive

I'm so lonesome I could cry I never seen a night so long When times goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry
Instrumental verse
Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves began to die? Like me he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
Instrumental verse
The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

Kaw-Liga

Em
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
Em
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
B7
Kaw-Liga... just stood there and never let it show
Em
So she could never answer yes or no He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign Because his heart was made of knotty pine
E
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss
A
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed
E
B7
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Em
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show So she could never answer yes or no And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed Kaw-Liga, just stands there as lonely as can be And wishes he was still an old pine tree Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed Is it any wonder that his face is red Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head

Ramblin' Man

I can settle down and be doin' just fine
E7

Till I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Am
Then I hurry straight home and pack
E7

And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack
Am
I love you baby, but you gotta understand
E7
Am
When the Lord made me, he made a ramblin' man Some folks might say that I'm no good That I wouldn't settle down if I could But when that open road starts to callin' me There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand When the Lord made me, He made a ramblin' man I love to see the towns a-passin' by And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea 'Cause that's the life I believe He meant for me And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand Just say God called home your ramblin' man

You ask me, stranger, why I make this journey

Why I cross three thousand miles of rolling waves

Like so many others my love was killed in action
C

So I'm here searching for his grave Somewhere among the many thousand Of all the Americans who died, true and brave That's where I know I'll find him resting So I'm here searching for his grave Beside each crossmark there all around me I'll kneel down and gladly say a prayer For all the dear loved ones home across the ocean Whose hearts like mine lie buried over here Somewhere among the many dozens Of all the Americans who died true and brave That's where I know I'll find him resting So I'm here searching for his grave

Comb your hair and paint and powder

You act proud and I'll act prouder

Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire You're my gal and I'm your fellow Dress up in your frock of yellow I'll look swell but you'll look sweller Settin' the woods on fire
F
We'll take in all the honky-tonks
C
Tonight we're having fun

That never has been done I don't care who thinks we're silly You be daffy and I'll be dilly We'll order up two bowls of chili Settin' the woods on fire

Wherever you may be, thank God There's a world of pain and sorrow, filled with selfishness and greed There remains that Glory Fountain to supply our every need You can find it in the temple with a welcome on the door But be sure to count your blessings before you ask for more Thank God for every flower and each tree Thank God for every mountain and the sea Thank God for giving life to you and me Wherever you may be, thank God
Last verse, not sung by Dylan:
Be forgivin' to the wayward like the Master told us to When He said, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do" They would change their way of livin' if they could but understand So remember they're your brothers, they need a helpin' hand

If your life is empty and you're on your last go round Wait for the light to shine If you hear the chime-knells on the highway you have found Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine When your friends forsake you and you haven't got a dime Wait for the light to shine Don't let trouble fool you and your sins will all be gone Wait for the light to shine Don't forget it's darkest just before the break of dawn Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Keep these words before you as you walk that narrow line Wait for the light to shine

Whiskey Bent And Hellbound

I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
E
B7
But sometimes Lord, she just ain't always around
E
A
E
And you know that's when I fall, I can't help myself at all
E
B7
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put a cold one in my hand 'Cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds Don't you play "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" 'cause I'll get all balled up inside And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound Sure enough about closing time, (I'm) about stoned out of my mind And I end up with some honky-tonk special I found Just as sure as the morning sun come, thinking of my sweet girl at home And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put old Jim Beam in my hand 'Cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds But don't you play "Your Cheatin' Heart" 'cause that'll tear me all apart I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Yeah, old Hank's songs always make me feel low down

D7
Than a country mile Why don't you spark me like you used to do And say sweet nothin's like you used to coo I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through Why don't you love me like you used to do? Well, why don't you be just like you used to be How come you find so many faults with me Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue Why don't you love me like you used to do? Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' In a long, long while We don't get nearer or further or closer Than a country mile Why don't you say the things you used to say What makes you treat me like a piece of clay My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue Why don't you love me like you used to do?
