xxxxartist : emmy the great
song : dylan
time : 3 : 00 approx .
90 % correct at least ; )
you’ll notice that the majority of this song is written in barre chords .
the transitions between chords ( the f#’s and g#’s ) between F – G and G – Am make the
song a lot better . this song should be played staccato ( mostly ) .
the C barre and Am barre were bastards to work out from listening to the song .
chord index :
( most barre chords are muted as power chords at some point – bear this in mind )

– – verse 1 – –
Am G
i pray for rain because i’m trying
Am G
to find god and make him cry ,
C G
because i’m dying in a fire beneath my covers .
Am G
and somewhere out across the way ,
Am G
you ask for salt across a plate ,
C
and you can’t find a word to say
G
to your own brother .
– – bridge – –
Fmaj7 G
and you could call me over now ,
Fmaj7 G
and we could fix this with our mouths ,
G
but you don’t buy the farm ,
Am
if you can’t afford the cow .
– – chorus – –
Fmaj7
and you say dylan is a sentiment
that you don’t want to share ,
F# C ( barre )
and you say you looked back in anger
and it rose to meet your stare ,
F ( barre )
and you say i Am not the one
who puts the bullet to your gun
Am ( barre )
and makes it flare .
Fmaj7 F# G ( barre )
and you say dylan is a sentiment to you ,
Am ( barre )
and you don’t want to share .
– – verse 2 – –
Am G
you say you’re looking for the truth ,
Am G
like you got rifles in your books ,
C
but up above your parents’ roof
G
i saw no star tonight ,
Am G
only the black from whence you came ,
Am G
and where they’ll send you back again ,
C
and no blue plaque will keep your name
G
from falling out of sight .
– – bridge – –
Fmaj7 G
and you can wage this war of one ,
Fmaj7 G
and i Am still the only one
Am
who will remember you when you are gone .

C ( barre )

and you don’t want to share .
– – break – –
C ( barre )
oh and all the things you talk about
but never say to me ,
Am ( barre )
and all the things to talk about
that i could say to you ,
C ( barre )
like reading an italian book
from the 13th century ,
G ( barre ) Am ( barre )
is not that hard to do .
F ( barre ) F# ( barre ) G ( barre )
– – altern . chorus – –
F ( barre )
and i Am not the kind
F# G ( barre )
who puts their toe against the line
Am ( barre )
and makes it tear ,
F ( barre )
but this could be the thing
G ( barre )
that puts the blood into your skin
Am ( barre )
and keeps it there .
– – chorus – –
F ( barre )
and you say dylan is a sentiment
C ( barre )
that no one else will ever understand .
F ( barre ) G ( barre )
and you say dylan is a sentiment to you ,
G ( barre ) Am ( barre )
but you are only just a man .
– – outro – –
Am ( barre ) x 5 staccato in quick succession .
