Clothes Line Saga
Bob Dylan and the Band
The Basement Tapes
[Verse 1]
E
After a while we took in the clothes,
                      E7
Nobody said very much.
E
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
                                    E7
Which nobody really wanted to touch.
A7
Mama come in and picked up a book
An' Papa asked her what it was.
E
 Someone else asked, "What do you care?"
                                E7
Papa said, "Well, just because."
B7
Then they started to take back their clothes,
Hang 'em on the line.
      E
It was January the thirtieth
                               E7
And everybody was feelin' fine.
[Verse 2]
E
The next day everybody got up
                           E7
Seein' if the clothes were dry.
E
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed,
                            E7
Mama, of course, she said, "Hi!"
A7
"Have you heard the news?" he said, with a grin,
"The Vice-President's gone mad!"
E
"Where?" "Downtown." "When?" "Last night."
                      E7
"Hmm, say, that's too bad!"
B7
"Well, there's nothin' we can do about it," said the neighbor,
"It's just somethin' we're gonna have to forget."
       E
"Yes, I guess so," said Ma,
                                           E7
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet.
[Verse 3]
E
I reached up, touched my shirt,
                                          E7
And the neighbor said, "Are those clothes yours?"
E
I said, "Some of 'em, not all of 'em."
                                                  E7
He said, "Ya always help out around here with the chores?"
A7
I said, "Sometime, not all the time."
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
E
Just as papa yelled outside,
                                                         E7
"Mama wants you t' come back in the house and bring them clothes."
B7
Well, I just do what I'm told,
So, I did it, of course.
       E
I went back in the house and Mama met me
                         E7
And then I shut all the doors
