Below are the chords from the album version (Blonde on Blonde.) The live version
from 'live 1966' is more or less the same except that the Cadd4 is replaced now
and then with a Cadd4/A. It is replaced all throughout the intro and outro, and
Capo: 4th fret
Cadd4: x33010
Cadd4/A: x03010
C Cadd4 C Cadd4 C Cadd4 C Cadd4
WChen Cadd4she said,
"Don't wCaste your wCadd4ords, they're just lCies,"
I cCadd4ried she was dCeaf.Cadd4  C  Cadd4  
CAnd she wCadd4orked on my fCace until bCadd4reaking my eCyes,
Then said, "WCadd4hat else you got lCeft?"Cadd4  C  Cadd4  
It was thEmen that I got up to leave
But she said, "Don't forDmget,
EverybCody must gCadd4ive something bCack
For sCadd4omething they gCet."Cadd4  C  Cadd4  
I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
And she buttoned her boot,
And straightened her suit,
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs,
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum.
She threw me outside,
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
And after finding I'd
Forgotten my shirt,
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against . . .
Her Jamaican rum
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
She said, "No, dear."
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
You'd better spit out your gum."
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor,
And I covered her up and then
Thought I'd go look through her drawer.
And, when I was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you.
And you, you took me in,
You loved me then
You didn't waste time.
And I, I never took much,
I never asked for your crutch.
Now don't ask for mine.
(Repeat verse with harmonica. Fade on C Cadd4 C Cadd4 ...)
