[F] [Bb] [F]
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan
Oh, [F] where have you been, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son?
And [F] where have you been, my darling young [C] one?
I've [Bb] stumbled on the side of [C] twelve misty [F] mountains,
I've [Bb] walked and I've crawled on [C] six crooked [F] highways,
I've [Bb] stepped in the middle of [C] seven sad [F] forests,
I've [Bb] been out in front of a [C] dozen dead [F] oceans,
I've been [Bb] ten thousand miles in the [C] mouth of a [F] graveyard,
And it's a [F] hard, and it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, and it's a [Bb] hard,
And it's a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F]
Oh, [F] what did you see, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son?
Oh, [F] what did you see, my darling young [C] one?
I saw a [Bb] newborn babe with [C] wild wolves all a-[F]round it
I saw a [Bb] highway of diamonds with [C] nobody [F] on it,
I [Bb] saw a black branch with [C] blood that kept [F] drippin',
I saw a [Bb] room full of men with their [C] hammers a-[F]bleedin',
I [Bb] saw a white ladder all [C] covered with [F] water,
I saw [Bb] ten thousand talkers whose [C] tongues were all [F] broken,
I saw [Bb] guns and sharp swords in the [C] hands of young [F] children,
Chorus
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan
And [F] what did you hear, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son?
And [F] what did you hear, my darling young [C] one?
I heard the [Bb] sound of a thunder, it [C] roared out a [F] warnin',
Heard the [Bb] roar of a wave that could [C] drown the whole [F] world,
Heard [Bb] one hundred drummers, their [C] hands were a-[F]-blazin',
Heard [Bb] ten thousand whisperin' and [C] nobody [F] listenin',
Heard [Bb] one person starve, I heard [C] many people [F] laughin',
Heard the [Bb] song of a poet who [C] died in the [F] gutter,
Heard the [Bb] sounds of a clown who [C] cried in the [F] alley,
Heard the [Bb] sound of one person who [C] said he was [F] human,
And it's a [F] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard,
And it's a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb][F]
Oh, [F] who did you meet, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son?
[F] Who did you meet, my darling young [C] one?
I [Bb] met a young child be-[C]side a dead [F] pony,
I [Bb] met a white man who [C] walked a black [F] dog,
I [Bb] met a woman whose [C] body was [F] burning,
I [Bb] met a young girl, she [C] gave me a [F] rainbow,
I [Bb] met one man who was [C] wounded in [F] love,
I [Bb] met another man who was [C] wounded in hatred,
Chorus
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan
And [F] what'll you do now, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son?
Oh, [F] what'll you do now, my darling young [C] one?
I'm a-[Bb]goin' back out 'fore the [C] rain starts a-[F]fallin',
I'll [Bb] walk to the depths of the [C] deepest black [F] forest,
Where the [Bb] people are many and their [C] hands are all [F] empty,
Where the [Bb] pellets of poison are [C] flooding their [F] waters,
Where the [Bb] home in the valley meets the [C] damp dirty [F] prison,
Where the [Bb] executioner's face is [C] always well [F] hidden,
Where [Bb] hunger is ugly, where [C] souls are for-[F]gotten,
Where [Bb] black is the color, where [C] none is the [F] number,
And I'll [Bb] tell it and think it and [C] speak it and [F] breathe it,
And re-[Bb]flect from the mountain so [C] all souls can [F] see it,
Then I'll [Bb] stand on the ocean un-[C]til I start [F] sinkin',
But I'll [Bb] know my song well be-[C]fore I start [F] singin',
And it's a [F] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard,
It’s a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F] ,

After the Goldrush Neil Young
[F] Well I [C] dreamed I saw the knights in [F] armour coming
Sayin' [C] something about a [F] queen
There where [C] peasants singin' and [G] drummers drummin'
And the [F] archer split the [G] tree
There was a [Am] fanfare blowin' [Bb] to the sun
That was [F] floating on the [Bb] breeze
[C] Look at Mother Nature [G] on the run
In the [Bb] nineteen seven[F]ties
[C] Look at Mother Nature [G] on the run
In the [Bb] nineteen seven[F]ties [C] [F] [C] [F]
[F] Well I [C] dreamed I saw the silver [F] spaceship flying
In the [C] yellow haze of the [F] sun
[F] I was [C] lying in a burned out [F] basement
There were [C] children crying and [G] colours flying
With a [C] full moon in my [F] eye
All a[F]round the chosen [G] one
I was [C] hoping for [G] replacement
All in a [Am] dream all [Bb] in a dream
When the [F] sun burst through the [G] sky
The [F] loading had be[Bb]gun
There was a [Am] band playing [Bb] in my head
[C] Flying mother nature's [G] silver seed
And I [F] felt like getting [Bb] high
To a [F] new home in the [Bb] sun
I was [C] thinking about what a [G] friend had said
[C] Flying mother nature's [G] silver seed
I was [Bb] hoping it was a [F] lie
I was [C] thinking about what a [G] friend had said
I was [Bb] hoping it was a [F] lie [C] [F] [C] [F]

CHIMES OF FREEDOM - Bob Dylan
[D] [G] [D] [A] [G] [D] [A] [D] [G] [D] (same as CHORUS)
Far [D] between sundown’s [G] finish and [D] midnight’s broken [G] toll
We [D] ducked inside the [G] doorway, [A] thunder [D] crashing [G] [D]
As [D] majestic bells of [G] bolts, struck [D] shadows in the [G] sounds
[D] Seeming to be the [G] chimes of [A] freedom [D] flashing [G] [D]
[A] Flashing for the [A7] warriors, whose [D] strength is [G] not to [D] fight
[G] Flashing for the refugees on the [Em] unarmed road of [A] flight
And for [D] each and every [G] underdog, [D] soldier in the [G] night
And we [D] gazed upon the [G] chimes of [A] freedom [D] flashing [G] [D]
Even [D] though a cloud’s white [G] curtain in a [D] far off corner [G] flashed
And [D] the hypnotic splattered [G] mist was [A] slowly [D] lifting [G] [D]
Electric lights still [G] struck like arrows, [D]fired but for the [G] ones
[D] Condemned to drift or [G] else be [A] kept from [D] drifting
[A] Tolling for the [A7] searching ones, on their [D] speechless [G] seeking [D] trail,
[G] For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too [Em] personal a [A] tale
And for [D] each unharmful [G] gentle soul mis-[D]placed inside a [G] jail
And we [D] gazed upon the [G] chimes of [A] freedom [D] flashing [G] [D]

dee [G] dee dee dee dee [D] dee dee dee [A] dee—[D] dum [G] [D]
Star-[D]ry-eyed and [G] laughing, as I [D] recall when we were [G] caught
[D] Trapped by no track of [G] hours for they [A] hanged sus-[D]pended
And [D] we listened one last [G] time, and we [D] watched with one last [G] look
[D] Spellbound and [G] swallowed till the [A] tolling [D] ended
[A] Tolling for the [A7] aching ones whose [D] wounds can-[G]not be [D] nursed
For the [G] countless confused, accused, misused, [Em] strung-out ones and [A] worse
And for [D] every hung-up [G] person in the [D] whole wide uni-[G]verse
And we [D] gazed upon the [G] chimes of [A] freedom [D] flashing [G] [D]
Repeat CHORUS

HELPLESS – Neil Young
[D] [A] [G]
There is a town in north Ontario
With dreams, comfort, memory to spare
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes, leave us...
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
[D] [A] [G]
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,

Throwing shadows on our eyes, leave us...

Helpless, helpless, helpless
[D] [A] [G]
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door
Baby, sing with me somehow
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless

[C] (Honeycomb) (Honeycomb)
Well it's a [C] darn good life and it's kinda funny
How the [F] Lord made the bee and the bee made the honey
And the [G7] honeybee lookin' for a home
And [C] they called it a honeycomb
And they [C] roamed the world and they gathered all
Of the [F] honeycomb up in one sweet ball
And the [G7] honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby's [C] lips
CHORUS:
Oh, [F] Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C] Honeycomb, be my own
Got a [G7] hank of hair and a piece of bone
They made a [C] walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
Well, [F] Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C] Honeycomb, be my own
What a [G7] darn good life
When you got a wife like [C] Honeycomb
(Honeycomb)
And the [C] Lord said now that I made a bee
I'm gonna [F] look all around for a green, green tree
[G7] Made a little tree and I guess you heard
[C] What then, well, he made a little bird
And they [C] waited all around till the end of Spring
Gettin' [F] every note that the birdie'd sing
And they [G7] put 'em all into one sweet tone
For my Honey-[C]comb
Repeat CHORUS
And the [C] Lord said now that I made a bird
I'm gonna [F] look all round for a little ol' word
That [G7] sounds about sweet like "turtledove"
[C] And I guess I'm gonna call it "love"
And He [C] roamed the world lookin' everywhere
Gettin' [F] love from here, love from there
And He [G7] put it all into one little part
Of my baby's [C] heart

[C] Crimson [Am] flames tied [Em] through my ears
Rollin' [F] high and [G] mighty [C] traps
[C] Pounced with [Am] fire on [Em] flaming roads
Using [F] ideas as my [G] maps
"We'll [Am] meet on edges, [Em] soon," said I
[F] Proud 'neath heated [G] brow
Ah, but [C] I was so much [F] older [C] then
I'm [F] younger [G] than that [C] now [Csus4] [C][Csus4]
[C] Half-wracked [Am] prejudice [Em] leaped forth
"Rip [F] down all [G] hate," I [C] screamed
[C] Lies that [Am] life is [Em] black and white
[F] Spoke from my skull, I [G] dreamed
Ro-[Am]mantic flanks of [Em] musketeers
Foun-[F]dationed deep, some-[G]how
Ah, but [C] I was so much [F] older [C] then
I'm [F] younger [G] than that [C] now [Csus4] [C][Csus4]
In a [C] soldier's [Am] stance, I [Em] aimed my hand
At the [F] mongrel [G] dogs who [C] teach
Fearing [C] not that I'd be-[Am]come my [Em] enemy
In the [F] instant that I [G] preach
My [Am] pathway led by [Em] confusion boats
[F] Mutiny from stern to [G] bow
Ah, but [C] I was so much [F] older [C] then
I'm [F] younger [G] than that [C] now [Csus4] [C][Csus4]

Yes, [C] my guard stood [Am] hard when [Em] abstract threats
Too [F] noble [G] to ne-[C]glect
De-[C]ceived me [Am] into [Em] thinking
I had [F] something to pro-[G]tect
[Am] Good and bad, I de-[Em]fine these terms
Quite [F] clear, no doubt, some-[G]how
Ah, but [C] I was so much [F] older [C] then
I'm [F] younger [G] than that [C] now [Csus4] [C][Csus4] [C]

ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE – Bob Dylan
{[Am][Am][G][G][F][F][E][E] X 2} [Am][Am][G][E]
Your [Am] breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two [G] jewels in the sky
[F] Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the [E] pillow where you lie
[Am] But I don't sense affection
[G] No gratitude or love
[F] Your loyalty is not to me
But [E] to the stars above
OR
[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road,
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go (Stop)
To the valley be-[Am]low [Am][G][G][F][F][E][E]
Your [Am] daddy he's an outlaw
And a [G] wanderer by trade
[F] He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And [E] how to throw the blade
[Am] He oversees his kingdom
So no [G] stranger does intrude
[F] His voice it trembles as he calls out
For a-[E]nother plate of food
[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road,
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go (Stop)
To the valley be-[Am]low [Am][G][G][F][F][E][E]
Your [Am] sister sees the future
Like your [G] mama and yourself
[F] You've never learned to read or write
There's [E] no books upon your shelf
And your [Am] pleasure knows no limits
Your [G] voice is like a meadowlark
But your [F] heart is like an ocean
My-[E]sterious and dark
[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road,
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go (Stop)
To the valley be-[Am]low [Am][G][G][F][F][E][E]

POCAHONTAS – Neil Young
Au-[D]rora Borealis
The icy sky at night
[Em] Paddles cut the water
In a [D] long and hurried flight
From the [A] white man [C] to the [G] fields of [D] green
And the [A] homeland [C] we've [G] never [D] seen
They [D] killed us in our teepees
And they cut our women down
They [Em] might have left some babies
[D] Cryin' on the ground
But the [A] firesticks [C] and the [G] wagons [D] come
And the [A] night falls [C] on the [G] settin' [D] sun
They [D] massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The [Em] taxis run across my feet
And my [D] eyes have turned to blanks
In my [A] little box [C] at the [G] top of the [D] stairs
With my [A] indian rug [C] and a [G] pipe to [D] share
I [D] wish I was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
To [Em] sleep with Pocahontas
and [D] find out how she felt
In the [A] mornin' [C] on the [G] fields of [D] green
In the [A] homeland [C] we've [G] never [D] seen
And [D] maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll [Em] sit and talk of Hollywood
And the [D] good things there for hire
And the [A] Astrodome [C] and the [G] first tee-[D]pee
Marlon [A] Brando, [C] Poca-[G]hontas and [D] me
Marlon [A] Brando, [C] Poca-[G]hontas and [D] me

If [G] I was a [D] master [C] thief per-[Em]haps I'd [D] rob them [Dsus4] [D]
