Chord Desire - Bob Dylan

Am                           F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am                             F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
Am                          F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Am                       F
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
C                           F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
C                       F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm                          C
For somethin' that he never done.
Dm                        C   Em              Am
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
    F               C       G
The champion of the world.

Am   F   Am   F

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
2 Isis
      Bb        Ab          Eb           Bb
I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
But I could not hold on to her very long.

G/D        D'         G    D
 I like to spend some time in Mozambique
G/D        D'     G  D
 The sunny sky is aqua blue
G/D          D'      G  D
 And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
C          G       D
 It's very nice to stay a week or two,
C          G       D
 And maybe fall in love just me and you.

Or maybe say hello with just a glance.
Bm                       F#m
Lying next to her by the ocean
Em                            D
Reaching out and touching her hand,
Bm                      F#m
Whispering your secret emotion
G                  A
Magic in a magical land.
And when it's time for leaving Mozambique

      Am
Your breath is sweet
                       G
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
     F      
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
       E
On the pillow where you lie.
    Am
But I don't sense affection
   G
No gratitude or love
     F
Your loyalty is not to me
    E
But to the stars above.

F                              E
One more cup of coffee for the road,
F                              E
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
              Am
To the valley below.


G           Bm             C  (/B Am) G
Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
G              Em              C    G
You should not treat me like a stranger.
G          Bm                 C  (/B   Am) G
Our Father would not like the way that you act
G            Em          C  G
And you must realize the danger.

To love and follow His direction?
F            C
We grew up together
         G
From the cradle to the grave
   F               C
We died and were reborn
            G         D      (/c-B-a)
And then mysteriously saved.
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,

G  F     C  G   x2

C                 D                C                 G
Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
C              D           C                 G
 Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
C              D       C                         G
 Always on the outside  of whatever side there was
          Em                      G            
When they asked him why it had to be that way, 
           C         /B      Am
"Well," he answered, "just because."

It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue.
G     C  Am
Joey, Joey,
G           Em       C
King of the streets, child of clay.
G     C  Am
Joey, Joey,
G              F                C         Am
What made them want to come and blow you away?

G  F     C  G   x2
There was talk they killed their rivals, but the truth was far from that
No one ever knew for sure where they were really at.

D

D                                   A
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
                       G   D
Dust on my face and my cape,
                        A
Me and Magdalena on the run
                              G   D
I think this time we shall escape.

And I'll play for Magdalena as we ride.
A
No llores, mi querida

Dios nos vigila
                                 G  D
Soon the horse will take us to Durango.
  A
Agarrame, mi vida

Soon the desert will be gone
                                G  D
Soon you will be dancing the fandango.
Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people

Em
Up on the white veranda
C                         G
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat.
Em
Her passport shows a face
    C             
From another time and place
          G
She looks nothin' like that.
Bm                          C D    C  
And all the remnants of her recent past
C/B G
Are scattered in the wild wind.
    Bm                
She walks across the marble floor
        C     D        C        C/b
Where a voice from the gambling room 
   G
is callin' her to come on in.
    Bm                      Am
She smiles, walks the other way
       C    /B   Am    G       D(/f#)      C
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
     C     /B Am   G
From Black Diamond Bay.  


  Em                Am  
I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
         D                        Em
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
    Em                   Am
You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
         D                   Em
You were always so close and still within reach.
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara,
D                         C           Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara,
D                      C       Em
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
