I’m Not There Bob Dylan This song is fairly simple. I play it open in standard tuning, but you play C- chord shapes if you put a Capo on the 4th fret. The lyrics are what I hear from the recording, in some parts they are hard to pick up. Enjoy.

^BEverything’s alright and she’s all the time in my ^ANeighborhood, she cries both ^C#mDay and night I know B B/E B B/E B Because I was there

^BIt’s a milestone but she’s ^ADown on her luck and the ^C#mDay makes her lonely but to B B/E B B/E B Me, hard to buck, I was there

^EI believe that she’d stop him if she ^G#mWants time to care, I ^ABelieve that she’d look upon ^EBeside him to care and I ^EGo b^G#my the Lord and when she’s ^AOn my way^B but I don’t belong there

No^B I don’t belong to her I don’t ^ABelong to anyone, she’s my ^C#mChrist forsaken angel but she don’t ^BHear me cry She’s^B a lone-hearted mystic and she ^ACan carry on when I’m ^C#mThere she’s alright but when she’s ^BNot when I’m gone

Heaven k^Enows that the answer she don’t ^G#mCall no one she’s the ^AWave, foresailing beauty, for she’s ^EMine, for the one and I ^ELost her hesitation by ^G#mTemptation lest it runs, but she ^ADon’t follow me, but I’m ^BNot there, I’m gone

^BNow I’ve cried tonight like I ^ACried the night before and I’ll ^C#mFeast on the eyes but I ^BDream about the door ^BSo long, Jesus, Savior, my ^AFaith worth to tell it don’t ^C#mHave consolation she’s my ^BLove fare thee well

^ENow, her smile is contagious I was ^G#mBorn to love her but she ^AKnows that the kingdom waits so ^EHigh above her and I ^ERun but I race, but it’s ^G#mNot too fast or soon but ^AI don’t deceive her, I’m not ^BThere, I’m gone

^BWell it’s all about diffusion that I ^BCry for her fell I don’t ^ANeed anybody now, beside ^C#mMe to tell and it’s ^BAll affirmation I receive but it’s not she’s her ^AOwn crowning beauty but she ^C#mDon’t like to spot it she ^BWon’t

^EYes, she’s gone like the rainbow that ^G#mShining yesterday but ^ANow she’s home beside me and I ^ELiked it if she stayed ^EShe’s her own forsaken beauty and she ^G#mDon’t trust anyone and I ^AWished I was beside her but I’m ^BNot there, I’m gone

^BWell it’s a too hard to stay and I ^ADon’t bother leave it’s all ^C#mBad sorts abusing and she’s ^BHard, too hard to leave ^BIt’s a law, it’s a crime the way she ^ABoss me around but she ^C#mTold all to hate me but this ^BDog, forsaken clown

^EYes I believe that it’s rightful Oh I ^G#mBelieve it in my mind I’ve been ^ATold like a said when I before ^ECarry on the crime and she’s ^EOn like I told her like I ^G#mSaid, carry on I wish ^AI was there to help her but I’m not ^BThere, I’m gone
