harmonica break: F C G G6 G7 C C/G Oh every girl that ever I've touched I did not do it harmfully And every girl that ever I've hurt I did not do it knowingly But to remain as friends, you need the time To make amends and stay behind And since my feet are now fast And point away from the past I'll bid farewell and be down the line Oh every foe that ever I faced The cause was there before we came And every cause that ever I fought I fought it full without regret or shame But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn And if I see the day I'd only have to stay So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone Oh every thought that strung a knot in my mind I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung But it's not to stand naked under unknown (unknowin'') eyes It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung But the time ain't tall if on time you depend And no word is possessed by no special friend And though the line is cut it ain't quite the end I'll just bid farewell till we meet again Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time To disgrace, distract and bother me And the dirt of gossip blows into my face And the dust of rumors covers me But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick So I'll make my stand and remain as I am And bid farewell and not give a damn C/G=332010 G6 =3X200X G7 =3X300X Csus4=X33010 F/C=X33211 Gsus4/B=X2001X Am/G=3X2210 F=1XXXXX passing note G=3XXXXX passing note Harmonica played cross harp (blues style)--use key of A Note: played with no strict time, very freely. Also played freely are the strings strummed or picked for each chord, varying from chord to chord and verse to verse. Occasionally some chords are left out, played with a different root, notes hammered etc. ALTERNATE VERSION The version Dylan played on the Sinatra birthday tribute recently goes something like this: no capo, in C
