Tears of Rage
Bob Dylan and the Band
The Basement Tapes
Capo 3rd Fret
[Verse 1]
A F#m D Bm
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
G D A
And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
F#m D Bm
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?
G D A
To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"
[Refrain]
C#7 F#m
Tears of rage, tears of grief
D A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7 F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D A7 Dmaj7 A
And life is brief
[Verse 2]
A F#m D Bm
It was all very painless When you went out to receive
G D A
All that false instruction, which we never could believe
A F#m D Bm
And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse
G D A
But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse?
[Refrain]
C#7 F#m
Tears of rage, tears of grief
D A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7 F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D A7 Dmaj7 A
And life is brief
[Verse 3]
A F#m D Bm
We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand
G D A
Though you just thought it was nothing more than a place for you to stand
A F#m D Bm
I want you to know that while we watched you discovered no one would be true
G D A
And I myself was among the ones who thought it was just a childish thing to do
[Refrain]
C#7 F#m
Tears of rage, tears of grief
D A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7 F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D A7 Dmaj7 A
And life is brief
