Ruben Remus
Bob Dylan and the Band
The Basement Tapes
[Verse 1]
G C G
Wrote a letter this mornin',
G C G
Put it in your hat,
G C G
'Cause no one to read it
G C G
And I know you knew that.
F
I bought a joke,
G
a trick or two,
C C/B Am Am/G
Just to bring and show you,
F G
Caught ya with the trickster too
C C/B Am Am/G
Sometimes I wonder how ya knew
Am
A hypnotist, fancytalker,
C Bb F C
Ruben Remus ain't no doctor
[Verse 2]
G C G
I knew the man and tried to remember
G C G
Just where it was that I'd seen his face.
G C G
Long ago, in a movie show,
G C G
He was like that man singin' bass.
F G
Knew him by his nurs'ry rhyme:
C C/B Am Am/G
The Story Of The Rabbit Man.
F G
Fell right in and said to him:
C C/B Am Am/G
"I'd like to help you if I can."
Am
I know the film would only shock ya,
C Bb F C
Ruben Remus ain't no doctor!
[Verse 3]
G C G
He only needed what you had,
G C G
Asked for nothing more,
G C G
Said he'd like to take you on,
G C G
But it's been done before.
F G
You couldn't see he's a travelin' man
C C/B Am Am/G
And he cannot take your hand.
F G
It's very hard to understand
C C/B Am Am/G
Why his songs were never banned.
Am
Guess the man would never knock ya,
C Bb F C
Ruben Remus ain't no doctor!
[Verse 4]
G C G
No one seen ya since he's been gone,
G C G
It's been a day, maybe more.
G C G
I took a walk in your yard
G C G
And knocked on your back door.
F G
Why don't you let me in?
C C/B Am Am/G
I'm not the man who did ya in.
F G
Is mr. Remus still your friend?
C C/B Am Am/G
You say you don't remember him
F
Turn me down, would ya?
C
Well, I've got news for you.
F
Turn me down would ya,
C C/B
Can't ya tell
Am F C
I'm gonna change your mind before I'm... trough...
