Bob Dylan - Goodbye jimmy reed

^AI live on a street named after a saint ^AWomen in the churches wear powder and paint ‬ ‪Where the Jews and ^Dthe Catholics and Muslims all pray‬ ^A‪I can tell a Proddy from a mile away ‬ ‪Goodbye ^EJimmy Reed, ^DJimmy Reed indeed‬ ‪Gimme that old time ^Areligion, it’s just what I need^E‬ ^A

^A‪For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory ‬ ^A‪Go tell it on the mountain, go tell the real story ‬ ^D‪Tell in that straightforward Puritanical tone ‪In the^A mystic hours, when a person’s alone ‬ ‪Goo^Edbye Jimmy Reed^D, Godspeed‬ ^A‪Thump on the bible, proclaim a creed^E‬ ^A

‪You^A won’t amount to much, the people all said ^A‪Cuz I didn’t play guitar behind my head‬ ^D‪Never pandered, never acted proud‬ ‪Never^A took off my shoes throw them in the crowds ‪Goo^Edbye Jimmy Reed, goo^Ddbye and good night‬ ‪Put a^A jewel in your crown and I’ll put out the ligh^Et ^A‬

‪They threw^A everything at me, everything in the book A ‬ I had nothing to fight with but a butcher’s hook They ^Dhad no pity, they never lent a hand I ^Acan’t sing a song I don’t understand Good^Ebye Jimmy Reed, good^Dbye and good luck I ^Acan’t play the record cuz my needle got stuck ^{E A}

‪Tran^Asparent woman in a transparent dress A ‬ ‪Suits you well I must confess ‪I^D break open your grapes, I suck out the juice ^AI need you like my head needs a noose Good^Ebye Jimmy Reed, good^Dbye and so long I ^Athought I could resist her but I was so wrong ^{E A}

^A‪God be with you, brother dear‬ If you ^Adon’t mind me asking, what brings you here?‬ ^DAh nothing much, I’m just looking for the man ^ACame to see where he’s lying in this lost land ^EGoodbye Jimmy Reed, and ^Deverything within ya‬ Can’t you h^Aear me calling from down in Virginia ^{E A}
