Bob Dylan - I Want You
C Em
The guilty undertaker sighs, the lonesome organ-grinder cries
Am G
The silver saxaphones say I should refuse you
F
The cracked bells and washed out horns
G
Blow into my face with scorn
Am G
But it's not that way, I wasnt born to lose you
CHORUS:
C Em Am G
I Want You, I want you, I want you so bad
C
Honey I want you
Repeat chords for remaining verses
The drunken politician leaps upon the street where the mothers weep
And the saviours who are fast asleep they wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt me drinking from my broken cup
And asking me to open up the gate for you
CHORUS
Em Am
Now all my fathers they've gone down, true love they've been without it
Em F G
But all their daughters put me down cos I don't think about it
Well I return to the Queen of Spades & talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her
She is good to me and there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be but It doesn't matter
Chorus
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side, and because I ...
Chorus
