Too Much of Nothing
Bob Dylan
Capo 4th fret
Intro: G  
DToo much of nothing can make a Cman ill at Gease.
DOne man's temper rises
where another Cman's temper might Gfreeze.
Now it's the Dday of conEbfessions
and we Ecannot mock the Fsoul.
Oh when there's F#too much of Gnothing
no oG#ne has contrAsus4ol.A  
CSay hello to Valery,
Gsay hello to Vivian.
CGive her all my salary
on the Bbwaters Dof obFliCviGon.
DWell too much of nothing can cause a Cman to wGeep.
DHe can walk the streets and like most and boast,
but wCould he like to Gkeep?
But it's Dall been done Ebbefore,
it's Eall been written in Fthe book.
And when there'F#s too much of Gnothing
nobG#ody shAsus4ould loAok.
CSay hello to Valery,
Gsay hello to Vivian.
CGive her all my salary
on the Bbwaters Dof obFliCviGon.
DNow too much of nothing
can make a Cman a liGar.
DIt can cause some men to sleep on nails,
it can cause oCthers to eat Gfire.
Everybody'Ds doing soEbmething,
I heEard it in a Fdream.
But when there's F#too much of nGothing
it jG#ust makes a Asus4fellow Amean.
CSay hello to Valery,
Gsay hello to Vivian.
CGive her all my salary
on the Bbwaters Dof obFliCviGon.

The story behind the song

This song delves into an apprehension of the void, with its themes echoing Shakespeare's King Lear and the statement, "Nothing will come of nothing." Bob Dylan cited the riots of the "long, hot summer" of 1967 as an impetus for the song, which was recorded for The Basement Tapes. The vocal delivery is described as slow, with "crying voices" and Dylan's voice "constantly bending," suggesting a deep emotional exploration. It plays like a reflection on emptiness and the turbulent world.
