Bob Dylan - Black diamond bay

^EmUp on the white veranda ^CShe wears a neck tie and a p^Ganama hat ^EmHer passport shows her face from ^CAnother time and place she looks n^Gothing like that ^DAnd all of the remnants of her ^CRece^Dnt pa^Cst a^Emre sc^Gattered in the wild wind ^DShe walks across the marble floor where a ^CVoice f^Drom the g^Cambling r^Emoom is c^Galling her to come on in She s^Emmiles walks the other w^Amay As the l^Cast s^Dhip s^Cails a^Emnd the m^Amoon fades a^Cway From B^Clack D^Am7iamo^Amnd B^Gay ^{C Am7 Am G}

^EmAs the morning light breaks open ^CThe Greek walks down and he ^Gasks for a rope and a pen that will write ^EmPardon monsieur the Desk Clerk says ^CCarefully removes his fez, am I he^Garing you right ^DAnd as the yellow fog is lifting ^CThe ^DGreek ^Cis ^Emquickly ^Gheading for the second floor ^DShe passes him on the spiral staircase ^CThinkin^Dg he's th^Ce Soviet ^Emambassad^Gor She s^Emtarts to speak but he w^Amalks away As the s^Ctorm ^Dcloud^Cs rise^Em and the^Am palm branc^Ches sway On Bla^Cck Dia^Am7mond^Am Bay^{G C Am7 Am G}

^EmA Soldier sits beneath the fan doing ^CBusiness with the Tiny Man w^Gho sells him a ring ^EmLightning strikes the lights blow out ^CThe Desk Clerk wakes he begins to ^Gshout can you see anything ^DThen the Greek appears on the second floor in his ^CBare^Dfeet w^Cith^Em a rope ^Garound his neck ^DWhile the loser in the gambling room ^CLights ^Dup a cand^Cle says o^Empen up a^Gnother deck But t^Emhe dealer says attendez^Am-vous sil vous plait As the r^Cain b^Deats ^Cdown a^Emnd the c^Amranes fly a^Cway From B^Clack D^Am7iamo^Amnd B^Gay ^{C Am7 Am G}

^EmThe Desk Clerk heard the Woman laugh as he ^CLooked around in the afterma^Gth and the soldier got tough ^EmHe tried to grab the Woman's hand ^CSaid here's a ring it cost a grand^G she said that ain't enough ^DThen she ran upstairs to pack her bags while a ^CHors^De-draw^Cn t^Emaxi wait^Ged at the curb ^DShe passed the door that the Greek had locked where a ^CHand-wr^Ditten sig^Cn read Do^Em not dis^Gturb She ^Emknocked upon it anyway ^Am As the s^Cun we^Dnt do^Cwn and^Em the mus^Amic did play^C On Bla^Cck Dia^Am7mond^Am Bay^{G C Am7 Am G}

^EmI've got talk to someone quick but the ^CGreek said go away and kicke^Gd the chair to the floor ^EmHe hung there from the chandelier she ^CCried help there's danger near ple^Gase open up the door ^DThen the volcano erupted and the ^CLava^D flowe^Cd d^Emown from^G the mountain high above ^DThe Soldier and the Tiny Man were ^CCrouche^Dd in the ^Ccorner th^Eminking o^Gf forbidden love The D^Emesk Clerk says it happe^Amns every day As the s^Ctars ^Dfell ^Cdown a^Emnd the f^Amields burne^Cd away On Bla^Cck Dia^Am7mond^Am Bay^{G C Am7 Am G}

^EmAs the island slowly sank the ^CLoser finally broke the bank^G in the gambling room ^EmThe dealer said it's too late now you can ^CTake your money but I don't know h^Gow you'll spend it in the tomb ^DThe Tiny Man bit the Soldier's ear as the ^CFloo^Dr cave^Cd i^Emn and th^Ge boiler in the basement blew ^DWhile she's out on the balcony where a ^CStrange^Dr tells h^Cer my dar^Emling je ^Gvous aime beaucoup She s^Emheds a tear then begins^Am to pray As the f^Cire b^Durns ^Con and^Em the smo^Amke drifts a^Cway On Bla^Cck Dia^Am7mond^Am Bay^{G C Am7 Am G}

^EmI was sitting home alone one night in ^CLA watching old Cronkite on ^Gthe seven o'clock news ^EmIt seems there was an earthquake there ^CLeft nothing but a panama hat and ^Ga pair of old Greek shoes ^DDidn't seem like much was happening so I ^CTurn^Ded it ^Coff^Em and wen^Gt to grab another beer ^DSeems like every time you turn around there's ^CAnother^D hard luc^Ck story t^Emhat you'^Gre gonna hear And t^Emhere's really nothing a^Amnyone can say And I ne^Cver d^Did pl^Can to ^Emgo anywa^Amy ^C To Bla^Cck Dia^Am7mond^Am Bay^{G C Am7 Am G}
