The Basement Tapes
Capo 2nd fret:
She Dlaughed each time she Gcalled my name
Made Dpromises to Gmeet a...
[no, let's, let's put it down in G]
No capo:
Am[Three silver rings] ... on Cslim hands Dwaiting
Flash bright in GcandleD/F#light till CSunday's Emearly Dmorn
We found her Amroom that Crainy Dmorning
She took my Ghand through D/F#winding Croads and Emled me Dhome
Some red French wine when later wating
In her warm hideaway, she smiled and combed her hair
We talked of all, we talked of nothing
I left with promises to meet; she told me where.
She Dlaughed each time I Gasked her name
Made Dpromises to Gmeet again
But her Cfriends down Emat the DFrench caGf
Had no AmEnglish words for Dme
So you may find above the border
A girl with silver rings ...
[sudden stop]

Flash bright in GcandleD/F#light till CSunday's Emearly Dmorn
We found her Amroom that rainy CmorDning
She took my Ghand through D/F#winding Croads and Emled me Dhome

But her Cfriends down Emat the DFrench caGf
Had no AmEnglish words for Dme
So you may find above the border
A girl with silver rings, I never knew her name
You're bound to lose, she's too much for you
She'll leave you lost some rainy morn, you won't be the same
you won't be the C/GsameG
