Stuck Inside Of Mobile (with the Memphis Blues Again) - Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Bob Dylan
From: "Blonde on Blonde" (1966)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Interesting mistake that I came across when I aligned chords and lyrics.
It is 2:43 into the song (verse 4): The line reads “When he built a fire
on Main Street” in the lyrics on bobdylan.com, but what you actually hear
on the record is “When I speak ... built a fire on Main Street”. Dylan
either botched up the line, starting with the wrong words and then quickly
getting back on track or it is a bad edit. Vocal flub is more probable,
though (I read somewhere that the recording on the album is the full and
final take 20).

[Verse 1]
C Am
Oh, the ragman draws circles
C Am
Up and down the block
C Am
I’d ask him what the matter was
F G
(7)
But I know that he don’t talk
F C
And the ladies treat me kindly
Am C
And they furnish me with tape
Am C
But deep inside my heart
F C
I know I can’t escape
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F/G C
With the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 2]
C Am
Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
C Am
With his pointed shoes and his bells
C Am
Speaking to some French girl
F G
Who says she knows me well
F C
And I would send a message
Am C
To find out if she’s talked
Am C
But the post office has been stolen
F C
And the mailbox is locked
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F F/G C
With the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 3]
C Am
Mona tried to tell me
C Am
To stay away from the train line
C Am
She said that all the railroad men
F G
Just drink up your blood like wine
F C
An’ I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
Am C
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
Am C
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
F C
An’ punched my cigarette”
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F F/G C
with the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 4]
C Am
Grandpa died last week
C Am
And now he’s buried in the rocks
C Am
But everybody still talks about
F G
How badly they were shocked
F C
But me, I expected it to happen
Am C
I knew he’d lost control
Am C
When he built a fire on Main Street
F C
And shot it full of holes
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F F/G C
With the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 5]
C Am
Now the senator came down here
C Am
Showing ev’ryone his gun
C Am
Handing out free tickets
F G
To the wedding of his son
F C
An’ me, I nearly got busted
Am C
An’ wouldn’t it be my luck
Am C
To get caught without a ticket
F C
And be discovered beneath a truck
Em
Oh Mama, is this really the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F F/G C
With the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 6]
C Am
Now the preacher looked so baffled
C Am
When I asked him why he dressed
C Am
With twenty pounds of headlines
F G
Stapled to his chest
F C
But he cursed me when I proved to him
Am C
Then I whispered, “Not even you can hide
Am C
You see, you’re just like me
F C
I hope you’re satisfied”
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F F/G C
with the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]
= E, D, B, A, G#, E without capo
[Verse 7]
C Am
Now the rainman gave me two cures
C Am
Then he said, “Jump right in”
C Am
The one was Texas medicine
F G
The other was just railroad gin
F C
An’ like a fool I mixed them
Am C
An’ it strangled up my mind
Am C
An’ now people just get uglier
F C
An’ I have no sense of time
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F/G C
with the Memphis blues again? [bass: C, Bb, G, F, E, C]

[Verse 8]
C Am
When Ruthie says come see her
C Am
In her honky-tonk lagoon
C Am
Where I can watch her waltz for free
F G
’Neath her Panamanian moon
F C
An’ I say, “Aw come on now
Am C
You know you know about my debutante”
Am C
An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
F C
But I know what you want”
Em
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F/G C

C Am
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
C Am
Where the neon madmen climb
C Am
They all fall there so perfectly
F G
It all seems so well timed
F C
An’ here I sit so patiently
Am C
Waiting to find out what price
Am C
You have to pay to get out of
F C
Going through all these things twice
Em
Oh Mama, is this really the end?
C G/B Am
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
C/G F/G C
