            A                          A7
Well, I'm a-writing a song about you
  D                       A
A true song as real as my tears
           D
But you've no need to fear it,
       A           D 
'cause no one will hear it,
       A                            E            A
'cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like all the world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
       E                         A
It's a good thing that I'm not a star
    B7                       E    E7
You don't know how lucky you are
          A
Though my record may say it  *)
D
No one will play it
    A                            E            A
For sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
    A                            E           
For sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this 
A    /b /c# | D /c# /b | A . E | A  ||
year

*) First time around, Dylan sings: “You know they say it.
