A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall [G] - Bob Dylan / Laura Marling
(Laura Marling's is a heavily abridged version of Dylan's original with some different chords, which have been simplified here for the ukulele.)
[Intro] [G] [D] x2
G C G
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
G D
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
G D
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw a newborn baby with wolves all around it
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
G D
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
G D
Oh, what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where black is the colour, where none is the number
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Like a rolling stone (How does it feel)
Bob Dylan
[C F] [C F] [C F] [C F]
[C] Once upon a time you [Dm] dressed so fine
You [Em] threw the bums a dime [F] in your prime [G] didn't you?
[C] People'd call, say, [Dm] "Beware doll, you're [Em] bound to fall"
You [F] thought they were all [G] kiddin' you
[F] You used to [G] laugh about [F] Everybody that was [G] hangin' out
[F] Now you[Em] don't [Dm] talk so loud[C] [F] Now you[Em] don't seem[Dm] so [C] proud
About [Dm] having to be scrounging [F] for your next [G]meal.
|[Chorus]
|How does it [C] feel [F] [G]
|How does it [C] feel [F] [G]
|To be without a [C] home [F] [G]
|Like a complete un[C]known [F] [G]
|Like a rolling sto[C]ne? [F] [G]
Aww, You've [C] gone to the [Dm] finest school all right, [Em] Miss Lonely
But you [F] know you only used to get [G] juiced in it
[C] Nobody has ever taught you [Dm] how to live out on the [Em] street
And now you're [F] gonna have to get [G] used to it
[F] You said you never [G] compromise
[F] With the mystery tramp, but now you [G] realise
[F] He's not [Em] selling any [Dm] alib- [C]-is
[F] As you stare into the [Em] vacuum [Dm] of his [C] eyes
And [F] say do you want to [C] make a [G] deal?
|[Chorus]
|How does it fe[C]el [F] [G]
|How does it fe[C]el [F] [G]

|Like a complete un[C]known [F] [G]
|Like a rolling sto[C]ne? [F] [G]
Aww, You [C] never turned [Dm] around to see the frowns
[Em] On the jugglers and the [F] clowns when they all did [G] tricks for you
[C] never understood that it [Dm] ain't no good
You [Em] shouldn't let other [F] people get your [G] kicks for you
[F] You used to ride on the chrome horse with your [G] diplomat
[F] Who carried on his shoulder a [G] Siamese cat
[F] Ain't it [Em] hard when you [Dm] discover [C] that
[F] he really [Em] wasn't [Dm] where it's [C] at,
[F] after he took from you everything [C] he could [G] steal?
|[Chorus]
[C] Princess on the [Dm] steeple and all the [Em] pretty people
They're all [F] drinkin', thinkin' that they [G] got it made
[C] Exchanging all [Dm] precious gifts [Em]
But you'd better [F] take your diamond ring, [G] you'd better pawn it babe
[F] You used to be [G] so amused
[F]At Napoleon in rags [G] and the language that he used.
[F] Go to him now, he [Em] calls you, you [Dm] can't refuse [C]
[F] When you got [Em] nothing, you got [Dm] nothing to lose [C]
[F] You're invisible now, you got no secrets [C] to con- [G]-ceal.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
C#m B A E
She put down in writin' what was in her mind

Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris

I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here, against my will

I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still

Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb

I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
B B7 G#m E
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
C#m B A E
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Simple Twist of Fate [D] - Bob Dylan
D
They sat together in the park
Dmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
D7 G
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
Gm D G
’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
D A D
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
D
They walked along by the old canal
Dmaj7
A little confused, I remember well
D7 G
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright
Gm D G
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
D A D
Moving with a simple twist of fate
D
A saxophone someplace far off played
Dmaj7
As she was walkin’ by the arcade
D7 G
As the sunlight bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,
Gm D G
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
D A D
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
D
He woke up, the room was bare
Dmaj7
He didn’t see her anywhere
D7 G
He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
Gm D G
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
D A D
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
D
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Dmaj7
Hunts for her through the city blocks
D7 G
Even down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all roll in
Gm D G
Maybe he’ll see her once again, how long must he wait
D A D
Once more for a simple twist of fate
D
People tell me it’s a sin
Dmaj7
To know and feel too much within
D7 G
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Gm D G
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
D A D
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
The Times They Are A Changin’
Bob Dylan
Come [C] gather 'round [Am] people, wher[F]ever you [C] roam
And ad[C]mit that the [Dm] waters a[F]round you have [G7] grown
And a[C]ccept it that [Am] soon you'll be [F] drenched to the [C] bone
If your [C] time to [Am] you Is worth [G] saving [G7]
Then you [F] better start [C] swimming or you'll [F] sink like a [G7] stone
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] writers and [Am] critics, who prophe[F]size with your [C] pen
And [C] keep your eyes [Dm] wide, the chance [F] won't come a[G7]gain
And [C] don't speak too [Am] soon, for the [F] wheel's still in [C] spin
And there's [C] no telling [Am] who that it's [G] naming . [G7].
For the [F] loser [C] now will be [F] later to [G7] win
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] senators, [Am] congressmen, [F] please heed the [C] call
Don't [C] stand in the [Dm] doorway, don't [F] block up the [G7] hall
For [C] he that gets [Am] hurt will be [F] he who has [C] stalled
There's a [C] battle out[Am]side and it’s [G] raging . [G7].
It'll [F] soon shake your [C] windows and [F] rattle your [G7] walls
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] mothers and [Am] fathers, [F] throughout the [C] land
And [C] don't crit[Dm]icize what you [F] can't under[G7]stand
Your [C] sons and your [Am] daughters are [F] beyond your co[C]mmand
Your [C] old road is [Am] rapidly [G] aging . [G7].
Please [F] get out the [C] new one if you [F] can't lend your [G7] hand
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
The [C] line it is [Am] drawn, the [F] curse it is [C] cast.
The [C] slow one [Dm] now will [F] later be [G7] fast
As the [C] present [Am] now will [F] later be [C] past.
The [C] order is [Am] rapidly [G] fading [G7]
And the [F] first one [C] now will [F] later be [G7] last
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
