Dylan, Bob - Slow Train Coming

Am Dm Am (x2)


Am
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
      Dm                                        Am
Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions
         Am
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
Dm                                                  Am
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?

              F7               Dm
And there's a slow, slow train comin'
              Am
Up around the bend...

I had a woman down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
She said, "Boy, without a doubt you have to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down here and be just another accident statistic."

And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend...

All that foreign oil controlling American soil
Look around you - it's just bound to make you embarrassed
Sheiks walkin' around like kings - wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam into Paris

And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend...
                                                Solo

Man's ego is inflated - his laws are outdated
They don't apply no more you can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave - Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan

And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend...

Big-time negotiators - false healers and woman haters
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion

And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend...

People starving and thirsting - grain elevators are bursting
You know it costs more to store the food than it does to give it
They say lose your inhibitions - follow your own ambitions
They talk about a life of brotherly love - show me someone who knows how to live it

And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend...

Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
I don't care about economy - I don't care about astronomy
But it sure bothers me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
                             
And there's a slow, slow train comin'
Up around the bend
