 No - body

No[C]body [F]feels [G7]any [C]pain[Csus4]
To[C]night as I [F]stand in[G7]side the [C]rain
[F]Ev'rybody [G7]knows
That [F]Baby's got new [G7]clothes
But [F]late[Em/B]ly [Dm]I [C]see her [F]ribbons and her [G7]bows
Have [Am]fallen [F]from her [G7]curls.
She [C]takes [Em/B]just [Dm]like a [F]woman, yes she does,
she [C]makes [Em/B]love [Dm]like a [F]woman, yes she does,
And then she [C]aches [Em/B]just [Dm]like a [F]woman,
but she [G7]breaks just like a little [C]girl.[Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C]
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, with her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman,
And she makes love like a woman,
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was [E]raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I [C]came in here[Csus4] [C]
And your [E]long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this [F]pain in here
I can't [G7]stay in here
Ain't it clear that
C F G C etc.
I just don't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
And when we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
You take just like a woman,
And you take just like a woman, yes you do
And you make love like a woman, yes you do
and then you ache just like a woman,
but you break just like a little girl.
Blonde on Blonde version
Bob seems to be playing with a capo on the 4th fret, and more or less
the same chords as above.
The 2nd guitar plays without a capo, using the following pattern
(w/variations):

The easiest way to play the G7sus4 G7 G7sus2 G7 figure (same as in
Sad-Eyed Lady) would be:

“Before the Flood” version
Played in a very square 4/4 beat. The chords marked “/B”are probably
G/B, but may even be C/B (or rather: Cadd2/B: x20010). The second and
third Choruses are rushed out of tempo.
* These Am chords are Ds in subsequent verses.

She [G]takes just [D]like a [C]woman,
And she [G]aches just [D]like a [C]woman
And she [G]wakes just [D]like a [C]woman,
Yea, but she [Am]breaks just like a little [G]girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, with her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman,
And she wakes just like a woman,
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

“Bangla Desh concert” version (Aug 1, 1971)
The special feat of this version is the use of the F9/A (x03213) chord
shape, together with the C = x32013 shape.
Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)

Budokan version
One guitar plays with a capo on the 4th fret, the other (Dylan's) is
uncapoed.
This is played by Dylan between the verses:
 
 Uncapoed: or capoed:
