Love Minus Zero/No Limit Tom: D
D A G
My love, she speaks like silence
D A
Without ideals or violence
G D
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Em7 A A6 A7
Yet she's true like ice, like fire
D A G
People carry roses
D A
And make promises by the hour
G D
My love she laughs like the flowers
Em A7 D
Valentines can't buy her
D A G
In the dime stores and bus stations
D A
People talk of situations
G D
Read books, repeat quotations
Em7 A A6 A7
Draw conclusions on the wall
D A G
Some speak of the future
D A
My love, she speaks softly
G D
She knows there's no success like failure
Em A7 D
And that failure's no success at all
D A G
The cloak and dagger dangles
D A
Madams light the candles
G D
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Em7 A A6 A7
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
D A G
Statues made of match sticks
D A
Crumble into one another
G D
My love winks she does not bother
Em A7 D
She knows too much to argue or to judge
D A G
The bridge at midnight trembles
D A
The country doctor rambles
G D
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Em7 A A6 A7
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
D A G
The wind howls like a hammer
D A
The night wind blows cold n' rainy
G D
My love, she's like some raven
Em A7 D
At my window with a broken wing
Isis Tom: Bb
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
Ab Eb Bb
But I could not hold on to her very long
Ab Eb Bb
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
Ab Eb Bb
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I came to a high place of darkness and light
Ab Eb Bb
The dividing line ran through the centre of town
Ab Eb Bb
So I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Ab Eb Bb
Went into a laundry to wash my clothes down
Bb Ab Eb Bb
A man in the corner approached me for a match
Ab Eb Bb
I knew right away he was not ordinary
Ab Eb Bb
He said "Are you lookin' for something easy to catch?"
Ab Eb Bb
I said "I ain't got no money",He said "That ain't necessary".
Bb Ab Eb Bb
We set out that night for the cold in the North.
Ab Eb Bb
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
Ab Eb Bb
I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth.
Ab Eb Bb
I said "That's the best news I ever heard."
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold.
Ab Eb Bb
I was thinking about diamonds and the worlds biggest necklace.
Ab Eb Bb
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
Ab Eb Bb
I was thinking about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
How she told me that one day we'd meet up again,
Ab Eb Bb
And thing would be different the next time we wed.
Ab Eb Bb
If I only hang on and just be her friend.
Ab Eb Bb
I still can't remember all the best things she said.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.
Ab Eb Bb
He said "There's a body I'm trying to find,
Ab Eb Bb
If I carry it out it'll fetch a good price."
Ab Eb Bb
Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous.
Ab Eb Bb
We chopped through he night and we chopped through he dawn.
Ab Eb Bb
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious,
Ab Eb Bb
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
Ab Eb Bb
There were no jewels no nothing, I felt I'd been had.
Ab Eb Bb
When I saw that my partner was just being friendly,
Ab Eb Bb
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I picked up his body and I dragged it inside,
Ab Eb Bb
Threw down into the hole and I put back the cover.
Ab Eb Bb
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Ab Eb Bb
Then I rode back to Isis just to tell her I love her.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Ab Eb Bb
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed.
Ab Eb Bb
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes.
Ab Eb Bb
I cursed one time then rode on ahead.
Bb Ab Eb Bb
She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special."
Ab Eb Bb
She said "You look different." I said "Well I guess."
Ab Eb Bb
She said "You been gone." I said "That's only natural."
Ab Eb Bb
She said "You gonna stay." I said "Well if you want me to yes."
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Isis oh Isis you're a mystical child
Ab Eb Bb
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
Ab Eb Bb
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Ab Eb Bb
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain
You angel You Tom: C
C F C
You angel you
F C
You got me under your wing
Em F G
The way you walk and the way you talk
F G C
I feel I could almost sing
You angel you
You're as fine as anything's fine
I just want to watch you talk
With your memory of my mind
Chorus
F C
And Lord, I can't sleep at night for trying
Em F G
Yes, I never did feel this way before
C Em F G
Never did get up and walk the floor
C Em F G
If this is love, then give me more and more and more and more
You angel you,
You're as fine as can be
The way you walk and the way you talk
Is the way it ought to be
Instrumental
Chorus
You angel you
You got me under your wings
The way you walk and the way you talk
I sware it would make me sing
Chorus

You angel you
Is Your Love in Vain
Tom :D
Intro: D A/C# Bm A G A D A/C# Bm A G A
D A/C# Bm A G A D A/C# Bm A G D
D A/C# Bm A G A A/B A/C#
Do you love me or are you just extending goodwill?
D A/C# Bm A G A A/B A/C#
Do you need me half as bad as you say or are you just feeling guilt?
D A/C# Bm A
I've been burned before and I know the score,
G A A/B A/C#
so you won't hear me complain.
D A/C# Bm A G A D
Will I be able to count on you or is your love in vain?
D A/C# Bm A G A D
Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude?
D A/C# Bm A G A (A/B A/C#)
When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude?
D A/C# Bm A
Do you know my world, do you know my kind
G A (A/B A/C#)
or must I explain?
D A/C# Bm A G A D
Will you let me be myself or is your love in vain?
G A D A/C# Bm
Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind,
G A D
I've been in and out of happiness.
G A D A/C# Bm
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings,
G A
and I've never been too impressed.
D A/C# Bm A G A A/B A/C#
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you.
D A/C# Bm A G A A/B A/C#
If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too.
D A/C# Bm A G A A/B A/C#
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow, do you understand my pain?
D A/C# Bm A G A D
Are you willing to risk it all or is your love in vain?
I Threw it All Away Tom :C
C Am F C
I once held her in my arms,
Am F G
She said she would always stay.
A Dm C F C
But I was cruel, I treated her like a fool,
F C F I threw it all away.
C Am F C
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,
Am F G
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
A Dm C F C
I must have been mad, I never knew what I had,
F C F
Until I threw it all away.
G
Love is all there is,
C A
It makes the world go 'round,
F G A
Love and only love, it can't be denied.
F G No matter what you think about it C Am You just won't be able to do without it. Bb F G Take a tip from one who's tried. C Am F C So if you find someone that gives you all of her love.
Am F G
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray,
A Dm C F
For one thing that's certain, You will surely be a-hurtin'
C F C F C
If you throw it all away.
G7 C
If you throw it all away.

A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall Tom: E
E A E
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
E B
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
A E
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
A E
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
A E
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
A E
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
A E
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
E B E A
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E B E A E
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E A E
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
E B
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
A E
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
A E
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
A E
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
A E
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
A E
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
A E
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
A E
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
E B E A
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E B E A E
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E A E
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
E B
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
A E
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
A E
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
A E
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
A E
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
A E
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
A E
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
A E
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
E B E A
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E B E A E
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E A E
Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
E B
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
A E
I met a young child beside a dead pony
A E
I met a white man who walked a black dog
A E
I met a young woman whose body was burning
A E
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
A E
I met one man who was wounded in love
A E
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
E B E A
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E B E A E
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E A E
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
E B
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
A E
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a fallin'
A E
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
A E
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
A E
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
A E
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
A E
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
A E
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
A E
Where black is the color, where none is the number
A E
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
A E
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
A E
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
A E
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
E B E A
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E B E A E
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
Abandoned Love Tom: G
G D G My heart is telling me, I love you still
G Em
I can see the turning of the key
C D
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
Bm C
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
G D G
Something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain
G Em
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
C D
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
Bm C
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
G D G
But something's telling me, I love you still
G Em
I come back to the town from the flaming ruins
C D
But when I see you in the street I begin to swoon
Bm C
I love to see you dress before the mirror
G D G
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear
G Em
Everybody's wearing a disguise
C D
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Bm C
But me I can't cover what I am
G D G
Wherever their children go, I'll follow them
G Em
I'm marching the parade of liberty
C D
But as long as I love you I'm not free
Bm C
How long must I suffer such abuse
G D G
Won't you let me see you smile, before I turn you loose
G Em
I've given up the game I've got to leave
C D
The pot of gold is only make believe
Bm C
The treasure can't be found by men who search
G D G
Who's gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
G Em
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
C D
I asked you please to cross me off your list
Bm C
My head tells me it's time to make a change
G D G
But my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange
**Harmonica Solo: Same Chords As Verse
G Em
So one more time at midnight near the wall
C D
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
Bm C
Won't you descend from the throne from whence you sit
G D G
And let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it

He's crying out that he was framed.
**Chorus
Dm
Any day now, any way now,
Em Dm C
I shall be released

Bob Dylan's Dream Tom: G
G Am
While riding on a train going west
C D
I fell asleep for to take my rest.
D7 D G
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Am D C G
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
G Am
With half damp eyes I stared to the room
C D
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
D7 D G
Where we together weathered many a storm,
Am D C G
Laughing and singing 'till the early hours of the morn.
G Am
By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,
C D
Our words were told and our songs were sung;
D7 D G
We longed for nothing and were satisfied
Am D C G
Talking and joking about the world outside.
G Am
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
C D
We never thought we could get very old
D7 D G
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Am D C G
Though our chances really were a million to one.
G Am
As easy it was to tell black from white,
C D
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;
D7 D G
Our choices were few and the thought never hit
Am D C G
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.
G Am
Ah many a year has passed and gone,
C D
And many a gamble has been lost and won;
D7 D G
And many a road taken by many a friend,
Am D C G
And each one of them I've never seen again.
G Am
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
C D
That we could sit simply in that room once again;
D7 D G
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
Am D C G
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
G Am
While riding on a train going west
C D
I fell asleep for to take my rest.
D7 D G
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Am D C G
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had

Changing Of The Guards Tom: Fm Intro: Ab
Fm
Sixteen years,
Ab Eb Fm
Sixteen banners united over the fields
Db Eb
While the good shepherd grieves
Fm Ab Eb
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Fm Db Eb Ab
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
Fm
Fortune calls.
Ab Eb Fm
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
Db Eb Fm
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
Ab Eb Fm
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
Db Eb Ab
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
**Interlude
Fm
The cold-blooded moon.
Ab Eb
The captain waits above the celebration
Fm Db Eb
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Fm Ab Eb
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
Fm Db Eb Ab
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
Fm
They shaved her head.
Ab Eb
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
Fm Db Eb
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
Fm Ab Eb
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Fm Db Eb Ab
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
**Interlude
Fm
I stumbled to my feet.
Ab Eb
I rode past destruction in the ditches
Fm Db Eb
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Fm Ab Eb
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Fm Db Eb Ab
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
Fm
The palace of mirrors
Ab Eb
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
Fm Db Eb
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
Fm Ab Eb
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Fm Db Eb Ab
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
**Interlude
Fm
She wakes him up
Ab Eb
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Fm Db Eb
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
Fm Ab Eb
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
Fm Db Eb Ab
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
Fm
Gentlemen, he said,
Ab Eb Fm
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
Db Eb
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
Fm Ab Eb
But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination
Fm Db Eb Ab
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
**Interlude
Fm
Peace will come
Ab Eb Fm
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
Db Eb Fm
But will offer no reward when her false idols fall
Ab Eb Fm
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Db Eb Ab
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
Fm Ab Eb Fm...
