G

n.c.         G
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky,

I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by.
           C
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
                   G
And then I turn my head, for you're approachin' me.
Am                      Bm                    C                 D
Moonlight on the water, fisherman's daughter, floatin' in to my room
              G
With a golden loom.

First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine.
I see the hungry clouds up above your face

A

  A
I sang the song slowly
   E6               A
As she stood in the shadows
    D/f#
She stepped to the light
      E6             A
As my silver strings spun
    A               E
She called with her eyes
       D          A
To the tune I's a-playin'
        A       Asus4
But the song it was long
        E6
And I'd only begun

A

           A
Well, I've already had two beers
    D
I'm ready for the broom
A
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
D
Take me to my room?
      A
I'm a good ol' boy
              E
But I've been sniffin' too many eggs
D
Talkin' to too many people
                  A
Drinkin' too many kegs

A
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry, please!
D
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry, please!
    A
I'm down on my knees

An' I ain't got a dime

Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Missus Henry, won't you

Renaldo and Clara version

Same chord progression repeated throughout. The lyrics aren’t always decipherable, mainly because Dylan doesn’t quite remember them. Which makes this a wonderful proof of his ability to improvise on the spot.

G

               G
Now, there's a certain thing
       Em
That I learned from Jim
G                                   D
That he'd always make sure I'd understand
    G
And that is that there's a certain way
Em
 we all must swim
        C
If we expect to live off
                  D
Of the fat of the land.

         Am
Open the door, Rachel [Richard?],

I've heard it said before.

Open the door, Rachel,

I've heard it said before
      C                           G
But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.

G

                               E
How come we can't talk to each other any more?
Am            D7               G
Why can't you see I'm changing too?
G                             E
 We've got by far too long to end it feeling wrong
Am                              D
And I still share too much with you

Em                          D
Just one great river always flowing to the sea
Em                       D
One single river rolling in eternity
G                             E
Two nations in this land that lies along its shore

[first verse inaudible]

A
[Let's take a cherry], I can't make it no more

Can't stop, she's breaking all time on the floor

Better come down easy or don't come down at all

You don't try and to please me, somebody's gonna fall

D                                      A
One man's loss always is another man's gain
     E             D                       A
Yes, one man's joy always is another man's pain

Eight o'clock in the morning, [better] step aside
[let me be to your] warning, you better go by

Intro (more or less)

C#

          F#                  C#
Well it's always beenmy nature to take chances
G#                                   C#
 My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
F#                                          C#
 Where the current is strong and the monkey dances
       G#
To the tune of a concertina

Blood drying in my yellow hair as I go from shore to shore
I know what it is that has drawn me to your door
But whatevercould it be makes you think you've seen me before
Angelina

F#    C#      G#
 Oooh-oh, Angelina
F#    C#      G#
 Oooh-oh, Angelina
