Bob Dylan - Cover Down Break Through guitar tab

Cover Down, Break Through

Written by Bob Dylan

Performed during the spring tour 1980

Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The entire song is built upon the following riff, repeated throughout the song:

Am D

: . . . : . . .

|-------------------------|-------------------------|

|-------------------------|-------------------------|

|-------------------------|-------------------------|

|-------------------------|-------------------------|

|-------------3-----0-----|-5-----------3-----------|

|-3---5-5-----------------|-------------------------|

The chord indications follow the rhythm guitar, which plays those two chords. The following suggestion indicates a possible way to incorporate more of the full band into one acoustic guitar (for whichever reason):

Am(7) D D11

: . . . : . . .

|-5-----5-----5-----5-----|-5-----------5-----------|

|-5-----5-----5-----5-----|-7-----------5-----------|

Am D (D11)

Well you heard about Pharaoh's army

Trampling through the mud

You heard about the Hebrew children

Redeemed by blood

Same spirit drivin' in ya

That raised Christ from the dead

If you're quick in your mortal body

Then let it under your head.

You got to cover down, cover down, break through

Cover down, cover down, break through.

We need that protection

By the armour of the Lord

The sword of God is sharper

than any double sided sword

He's the hammer of salvation

blade of righteousness

Genesis to revelation

Repent and confess.

Cover down, cover down, break through

Cover down, cover down, break through.

Well, you wake up early in the morning

Turning from side to side

Something giving you a warning

You can run, but you can't hide

Demands are laid upon you

And burdens you can't bear

Sins you can't even remember

Are waiting to meet you there.

Cover down, cover down, break through

Cover down, cover down, break through.

You got an image of yourself

You've built by yourself alone

But it will come a-tumbling down

Just like the walls made of stone

You will be separated

From everything you seem to be

You think you'll be liberated, yeah

But the grave won't set you free.

You got to cover down, cover down, break through

Cover down, cover down, break through.

(Cover down, cover down, break through

Cover down, cover down, break through)
