Hints:

The notes as tabbed below are merely a guide as to bass/treble

strings for strumming, they aren't set in stone! Finger the whole chord

each time anyway. The open top E on the off-beat is easiest played on

the upstroke.

Bird on the horizon sitting on a fence

(etc)

Bird on the horizon

Sittin' on a fence

He's singing his song for me

At his own expense

And I'm just like that bird

Oh-oh

Singin' just for you

Oh-oh

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singin' through these tears

Love is so simple

To quote a phrase

You've known it all the time

I'm learnin' it these days

Oh, I know where I can find you

Oh-oh

In somebody's room

Oh-oh

It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

Time is a jet plane

It moves too fast

Oh but what a shame

That all we've shared can't last

I can change I swear

Oh-oh

See what you can do

Mm-mm

I can make it through

You can make it too

A change in the weather

Can be extreme

But it ain't like changing

Horses in midstream

I'm going out of my mind

Oh-oh

With a pain that stops and starts

Mm-mm

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart

YOU'RE A BIG GIRL NOW- Bob Dylan

TUNING: E B E G# B E, capo 3rd fret

You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon sittin' on a fence

He's singing his song for me at his own expense

And I'm just like that bird, oooh singin' just for you

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singin' through these tears

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh but what a shame that all we've shared can't last

I can change I swear, woooa see what you can do

I can make it through

You can make it too

Love is so simple to quote a phrase

You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days

Oh, I know where I can find you, oooh in somebody's room

It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather is known to be extreme

But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream

I'm going out of my mind, oooh with a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart

NOTE: I got most of this from the bootleg version posted before, but I

made some changes according to what I heard on the album version (Blood

on the Tracks, 1975). Also, the G#m/E is a bit tricky to play, but I play

it by using the thumb on the low E.
