Dirge - Bob Dylan


-------------------

('Planet waves' album)

[Gm] [Cm] [Gm] [Cm]
[Dm]I hate myself for lovin' [Gm]you [Dm]And the weakness that I showed [Gm]...
[Dm]You were just a [Gm]painted face On a trip [Dm]down Suicide Road[Am].
[Bb]The stage was set, the [Dm]lights went out All arou[Gm]nd the old hotel
[Bb]I hate myself for lovin' [Eb]you And I'm gl[Bb]ad the cu[Cm]rtain fell[Gm].

[Dm]I hate that foolish [Gm]game we played [Dm]And the need that was [Gm]expressed
[Dm]And the mercy that you [Gm]showed to me [Dm]Whoever would have [Am]guessed
[Bb]I went out on Lower [Dm]Broadway And I [Gm]felt that place within
That [Bb]hollow place where [Eb]martyrs weep And [Bb]angels [Cm]play with [Gm]sin

[Dm]Heard your songs of [Gm]freedom [Dm]And man forever [Gm]stripped
[Dm]Acting out his [Gm]folly While his [Dm]back is being [Am]whipped
[Bb]Like a slave in [Dm]orbit He's [Gm]beaten 'til he's tame
[Bb]All for a moment's [Eb]glory And it's [Bb]dirty, [Cm]rotten [Gm]shame

[Dm]There are those who worship [Gm]loneliness [Dm]I'm not one of [Gm]them
[Dm]In this age of [Gm]fiberglass [Dm]I'm searching for a [Am]gem
[Bb]The crystal ball up on the [Dm]wall Hasn't [Gm]shown me nothing yet
[Bb]I've paid the price of [Eb]solitude But at [Bb]least I'm [Cm]out of [Gm]debt

[Dm]Can't recall a [Gm]useful thing [Dm]You ever did for [Gm]me
[Dm]'Cept pat me on the [Gm]back one time [Dm]When I was on my [Am]knees
[Bb]We stared into each other's [Dm]eyes 'Til [Gm]one of us would break
[Bb]No use to [Eb]apologize What [Bb]diff'rence [Cm]would it [Gm]make

[Dm]So sing your praise of [Gm]progress And [Dm]of the Doom [Gm]Machine
[Dm]The naked truth is [Gm]still tabu [Dm]Whenever it can be [Am]seen
[Bb]Lady Luck who [Dm]shines on me Will [Gm]tell you where I'm at
[Bb]I hate myself for [Eb]lovin' you But I [Bb]should get [Cm]over [Gm]that
