When the Deal Goes Down  Bob Dylan

Capo 1st fret (sounding key Db major)
There are some quite full chords here and there, and many of them are mere variations of eachother. E.g. G11 contains all the tones of G7sus4 (and then some), and the same goes for Fm and Dm7-5.
The following are mere suggestions; vary as you feel like.
The last two measures can most easily be simplified to | Dm7-5 . G7 | C

In the [C]still of the [E7]night, in the [F(6)]world's ancient [Dm7-5]light
Where [C/G]wisdom [G11]grows up in s[C]trife[G]
My be[C]wildered [E7]brain, [F]toils in [Dm7-5]vain
Through the [C/G]darkness on the [G11]pathway[G7]s of [C]life[C7]
Each inv[F6]isible [Dm7-5]prayer is like a [C]cloud in the air
To[F]morrow keeps [C/E]turning a[D7]round[G7sus4] [(G7)]
We [C]live and we [E7]die, we [F]know not [Dm7-5]why
But I'll be [C/G]with you when the [G11]deal [G7]goes [C]down
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
 [guitar solo]

The moon gives light and it shines by night
Well, I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O'er the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
