DEAR LANDLORD
Bob Dylan, 1968
[Verse 1]
C E7
Dear Landlord, please don't put a price on my soul,
Am Am/G F Em Dm
My burden is heavy, my dreams are beyond control.
F F7
When that steamboat whistle blows,
Bb
I'm gonna give you all I got to give,
C Dm7 C C7
And I do hope you receive it well,
F Gm Dm F G
Depending on the way you feel that you live.
[Verse 2]
C E7
Dear Landlord, please heed these words that I speak,
Am Am/G F Em Dm
I know you've suffered much, but in this you are not so unique.
F F7
All of us at times we might work too hard
Bb
To have it too fast and too much,
C Dm7 C C7
And anyone can fill his life up with things he can see
F Gm Dm F G
But he just cannot touch.
[Verse 3]
C E7
Dear Landlord, please don't dismiss my case,
Am Am/G F Em Dm
I'm not about to argue, I'm not about to move to no other place.
F F7
Now each of us has his own special gift,
Bb
And you know this was meant to be true,
C Dm7 C C7
And if you don't underestimate me,
F Gm Dm F G
I won't underestimate you.
