         C           F         F          C
Well I'm grinding my life out, steady and sure
C            F                  F        C
Nothing more wretched than what I must endure
    C               F          F               C
I'm drenched in the light that shines from the sun
        C            F             F               C
I could stone you to death for the wrongs that you done
Am                  Dm        Am
Sooner or later you make a mistake,
     Am                          Dm         Am
I'll put you in a chain that you never will break

I can manipulate people as well as anybody

Hold 'em and control 'em, please 'em an' squeeze 'em

I can make believe I'm in love with almost anybody

On A Rainy Afternoon/Does She Need Me?

Dylan:

C   G/b  F/a   C   F  .  G7  .  C
You must [...] she will  for    you

Robbie: No, E. It’s better, it’s … [plays:

[1 verse instr. intro]

                G                  C
She promised to meet him at Adams' Spring
               D                        G
Expecting some money or some other fine things


No money, no money to flatter the case
We'll have to get married so there'll be no disgrace

So jump you up Omie, and away we will ride
To yonder fair country and I'll make you my bride

She jumped up behind him and away they did go
to yonder far country where the deep waters flow

Now jump you down Omie and I'll telly my mind
My mind is to drowned you and to leave you behind

“Everybody here knows about Stevie, so …
This is for Stevie, wherever you are, Stevie”

These are the basic figures that are played throughout the song. The second string is always an alternative to the first; it adds flavour to the G/b and A chords (but, as with all spices: add with caution):

G

             G          C           G
The water is wide and I can't cross over
        Em              D
Neither have I wings to fly
[n.c.]     Bm                  C
Build me a boat that can carry two
               G  D            C G/b Am G (C/g G)
And both shall row my love and I.

There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim.

I leaned my back up against an oak
Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just like my own false love to me.
