ON THE ROAD AGAIN (Bob Dylan, Bringing it All Back Home, 3/22/1965)
(I play almost all (rapid) downstrums; very occasional upstrum. All the A, D, E chords should be completely
pulled off on the 4th beat. Fast tempo; follow the recording.)
[Intro]
A A A A
x2
[Verse]
A
Well, I wake up in the morning, there's frogs inside my socks
A
Your mama, she's hidin' inside the icebox
D A
Your daddy walks in wearin' a Napoleon Bonaparte mask
E D
Then you ask why I don't live here
D A
Honey, do you have to ask?
[Verse]
A
Well, I go to pet your monkey, I get a face full of claws
A
I ask then who's in the fireplace and you tell me, "Santa Claus"
D A
The milkman comes in, he's wearing a derby hat
E D
Then you ask why I don't live here
D A
Honey, how come you have to ask me that?
[Verse]
A
Well, I ask for something to eat, I'm hungry as a hog
A
So I get brown rice, seaweed, and a dirty hot dog
D A
I got a hole where my stomach disappeared
E D
Then you ask why I don't live here
D A
Honey, I gotta think you're really weird
[Verse]
A
Your grandpa's cane, it turns into a sword
A
Your grandma prays to pictures that are pasted on a board
D A
Everything inside my pockets your uncle steals
E D
Then you ask why I don't live here
D A
Honey, I can't believe that you're for real
[Instrumental]
A A A A
[Verse]
A
Well, there's fist fights in the kitchen
A
They're enough to make me cry
A
Then the mailman comes in, even he's gotta take a side
D A
Even the butler, he's got something to prove
E D
Then you ask why I don't live here
D A
Honey, how come you don't move?
