I first heard this from Ric von Schmidt. He lives in Cambridge.
Ric is a blues guitar player.
I met him one day in the green pastures of Harvard University.
[G]Baby let me follow you [F]down, [C/G]baby let me follow you[Eb/G] down
Well I'll [G/B]do any[D/A]thing in this [C/E]godalmighty [D/F#]world
If you [C/G]just let me [D/F#]follow you [G]down.
Can I come home with you, baby can I come home with you?
Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me come home with you.
Baby let me follow you down, baby let me follow you down
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.
Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.
I'll buy you a diamond ring, I'll buy you a wedding gown
Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.
I just want you to understand, baby please understand,
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
if you just let me be your man.
Live 1966 version
Capo 2nd fret (Dylan's guitar anyway. Robbie may
be playing without a capo)
The F has much more of a Dm about it (sounds better
as an Em or a G6 (320000) without a capo – but it's
probably Garth on the organ)
The Eb/G is played as a straight Eb (F without capo)
The subtleties of the bass line . . . well, what's
a bass player there for anyway?
[G]Baby let me follow you [F]down, [C]baby let me follow you [Eb]down
Well I'll [G]do any[D]thing in this [C]godalmighty [D]world
If you [C]just let me [D]follow you [G]down.
I'll buy you a diamond ring, I'll buy you a wedding gown
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.
Can I come home with you, baby can I come home with you?
Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me come home with you.
I'll buy you a broken twine, honey, just for you to climb
I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
if you just once drive me out of my mind
I'll buy you a serpent skirt,
I'll buy you a velvet shirt
I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
if you just don't make me hurt.
Baby let me follow you down, baby let me follow you down
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.
