Dirge - Bob Dylan

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

('Planet waves' album)

Gm Cm Gm Cm

Dm Gm Dm Gm

I hate myself for lovin' you And the weakness that I showed ...

Dm Gm Dm Am

You were just a painted face On a trip down Suicide Road.

Bb Dm Gm

The stage was set, the lights went out All around the old hotel

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

I hate myself for lovin' you And I'm glad the curtain fell.

Dm Gm Dm Gm

I hate that foolish game we played And the need that was expressed

Dm Gm Dm Am

And the mercy that you showed to me Whoever would have guessed

Bb Dm Gm

I went out on Lower Broadway And I felt that place within

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

That hollow place where martyrs weep And angels play with sin

Dm Gm Dm Gm

Heard your songs of freedom And man forever stripped

Dm Gm Dm Am

Acting out his folly While his back is being whipped

Bb Dm Gm

Like a slave in orbit He's beaten 'til he's tame

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

All for a moment's glory And it's dirty, rotten shame

Dm Gm Dm Gm

There are those who worship loneliness I'm not one of them

Dm Gm Dm Am

In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem

Bb Dm Gm

The crystal ball up on the wall Hasn't shown me nothing yet

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

I've paid the price of solitude But at least I'm out of debt

Dm Gm Dm Gm

Can't recall a useful thing You ever did for me

Dm Gm Dm Am

'Cept pat me on the back one time When I was on my knees

Bb Dm Gm

We stared into each other's eyes 'Til one of us would break

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

No use to apologize What diff'rence would it make

Dm Gm Dm Gm

So sing your praise of progress And of the Doom Machine

Dm Gm Dm Am

The naked truth is still tabu Whenever it can be seen

Bb Dm Gm

Lady Luck who shines on me Will tell you where I'm at

Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm

I hate myself for lovin' you But I should get over that
