Subterranean Homesick Blues Bob Dylan
(Intro)
A7 D A7 D x3
(Verse 1)
[A7]Johny's in the base[D]ment,[A7]Mixing up the medi[D7]cine
[A7]I'm on the pave[D]ment, [A7]Thinking about the govern[D7]ment
The [A7]man in the trench [D]coat, [A7]Badge out, laid [D7]off
[A7]Says he's got a bad [D]cough, [A7]Wants to get it paid [D7]off
[D7]Look out kid It's somethin' you did
[A7]God knows when, [D]But you're [A7]doin' it again
You [D7]better [A7]duck down the alley [D]way
[A7]Lookin' for a new [D7]friend
The [E]man in the coon-skip cap, In the big pen
Wants [A7]eleven dollar bills,[D] [A7]You only got [D7]ten.
(Verse 2)
[A7]Maggie comes fleet [D]foot, [A7]Face full of black [D7]soot
[A7]Talkin' that the heat [D]put, [A7]Plants in the bed [D7]but
The [A7]phone's tapped any[D]way, [A7]Maggie says that many [D7]say
They [A7]must bust in early [D]May, [A7]Orders from the [D7]da
[D7]Look out kid, Don't matter what you did
[A7]Walk on your tip [D]toes, [A7]Don't try, 'No [D7]Doz'
[A7]Better stay away from [D]those
That [A7]carry around a fire [D7]hose
[E]Keep a clean nose, Watch the plain clothes
You [A7]don't need a weather [D]man
To [A7]know which way the wind [D7]blows
(Verse 3)
[A7]Get sick, get [D]well, [A7]Hang around an ink [D7]well
[A7]Ring bell, hard to [D]tell, [A7]If anything is goin' to [D7]sell
[A7]Try hard, get bar[D]red, [A7]Get back, write B[D7]raille
[A7]Get jailed, jump [D]bail [A7]Join the army, if you [D7]fail
[D7]Look out kid, You're gonna get hit
By [A7]losers, chea[D]ters, [A7]Six-time [D7]users
[A7]Hang around the theaters
[E]Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
[A7]Don't follow [D]leaders, [A7]Watch the parkin' meters.
(Verse 4)
Ah [A7]get born, keep [D]warm
[A7]Short pants, [D7]romance, [A7]learn to dance
Get [D]dressed, [A7]get blessed, Try to [D7]be a [A7]success
Please [D]her, [A7]please him, buy [D7]gifts
[A7]Don't steal, don't [D]lift
[A7]Twenty years of schoolin'
[D7]And they [A7]put you on the day [D]shift
[D7]Look out kid, They keep it all hid
Better [A7]jump down a man[D]hole
[A7]Light yourself a [D7]candle, [A7]Don't wear san[D]dals
[A7]Try to avoid the scan[D7]dals
[E]Don't wanna be a bum, You better chew gum
The [A7]pump don't work
[D]'Cause the [A7]vandals took the handles.
