Positively 4th Street– Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Bob Dylan
Non-album single (1965)
Now on: “Side Tracks” and several Greatest Hits compilations
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The bass sometimes plays notes other that the root. I indicated these
chords as slash chords here. It is of course possible to play them
as regular chords and just leave out the note after the slash.
The original recording is in F#. The live versions I know are mostly in
G, though (easy to play and sounding great; maybe the guitar is tuned down
one semi-tome on the original version?). To play G, one would have to
transpose this tab up 3 steps and leave off the capo. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
capo: 2nd fret
play: E
key: F#

[Verse] 1
E F#m
You got a lotta nerve
A E
To say you are my friend
E B
When I was down
A C#m B
You just stood there grinning
E F#m
You got a lotta nerve
A E
To say you got a helping hand to lend
E B A
You just want to be on
C#m B
The side that's winning
[Verse] 2
E F#m
You say I let you down
A E
You know it's not like that
E B
If you're so hurt
A C#m B
Why then don't you show it
E F#m
You say you lost your faith
A E
But that's not where it's at
E B/D# A/C#
You have no faith to lose
C#m B
And you know it
[Verse] 3
E F#m
I know the reason
A E
That you talk behind my back
E B A/C# C#m
I used to be among the crowd
B
You're in with
E F#m
Do you take me for such a fool
A E
To think I'd make contact
E B
With the one who tries to hide
A/C# C#m B
What he don't know to begin with
[Verse] 4
E F#m
You see me on the street
A E
You always act surprised
E B A
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
C#m B
But you don't mean it
E F#m
When you know as well as me
A E
You'd rather see me paralyzed
E B A C#m
Why don't you just come out once
B
And scream it
[Verse] 5
E F#m
No, I do not feel that good
A E
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
E B A/C#
If I was a master thief
C#m B
Perhaps I'd rob them
E F#m
And now I know you're dissatisfied
A E
With your position and your place
E B A/C#
Don't you understand
C#m B
It's not my problem
[Verse] 6
E F#m
I wish that for just one time
A E
You could stand inside my shoes
E B A/C#
And just for that one moment
C#m B
I could be you
E F#m
Yes, I wish that for just one time
A E
You could stand inside my shoes
E B A C#m
You'd know what a drag it is
B
To see you
