The figure C /b /a G which at every transition from C to G through the whole song, is played:

  C/b/a   G
  .       |
|-0-----|-3--
|-1-----|-0--
|-0-----|-0--

With God on Our Side

Words and Music Bob Dylan (but strongly based on Dominic Behans The Patriot Game)


Album version

The * denotes the G — G6 — G7 figure that Dylan is so fond of:

G   320003
G6  322003  or 3x2003
G7  323003  or 3x3003

It can be replaced by just a G chord.

Ring Them Bells

Oh Mercy! version

C    /b   Am     /g F   C/e Dm   C   F/g       C
Ring them bells, ye heathen From the city that dreams,
C    /b   Am    /g       F   C/e Dm  C         G
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries Cross the valleys and streams,
            F                C
For they're deep and they're wide
                           F
And the world's on its side
    C    /b  Am /g   F   C/e  Dm C F/g       C
And time is running backwards And  so is the bride.

C G/b    Am
Am G/b   C

Ring them bells St. Peter Where the four winds blow,

I Pity the Poor Immigrant


[Harmonica intro: first four lines] 
C               F
I pity the poor immigrant
    G                         C
Who wishes he would've stayed home,
         C                   F
Who uses all his power to do evil
           G                      C
But in the end is always left so alone.
     Am                Em
That man whom with his fingers cheats
        F               C
And who lies with ev'ry breath,
    C            F

Dear landlord,

Please don't put a price on my soul.

My burden is heavy,
F               Em      Dm
My dreams are beyond control.
F                           F7
When that steamboat whistle blows,

I'm gonna give you all I got to give,

Down Along the Cove


B
Down along the cove,
E                              B
I spied my true love comin' my way.

Down along the cove,
                               B
I spied my true love comin' my way.
       F#
I say, "Lord, have mercy, mama,
   E                                B
It sure is good to see you comin' today."

Down along the cove,
I spied my little bundle of joy.
