Dirge - Bob Dylan
-------------------
('Planet waves' album)
Gm Cm Gm Cm
Dm Gm Dm Gm
I hate myself for lovin' you And the weakness that I showed ...
Dm Gm Dm Am
You were just a painted face On a trip down Suicide Road.
Bb Dm Gm
The stage was set, the lights went out All around the old hotel
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
I hate myself for lovin' you And I'm glad the curtain fell.
Dm Gm Dm Gm
I hate that foolish game we played And the need that was expressed
Dm Gm Dm Am
And the mercy that you showed to me Whoever would have guessed
Bb Dm Gm
I went out on Lower Broadway And I felt that place within
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
That hollow place where martyrs weep And angels play with sin
Dm Gm Dm Gm
Heard your songs of freedom And man forever stripped
Dm Gm Dm Am
Acting out his folly While his back is being whipped
Bb Dm Gm
Like a slave in orbit He's beaten 'til he's tame
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
All for a moment's glory And it's dirty, rotten shame
Dm Gm Dm Gm
There are those who worship loneliness I'm not one of them
Dm Gm Dm Am
In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem
Bb Dm Gm
The crystal ball up on the wall Hasn't shown me nothing yet
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
I've paid the price of solitude But at least I'm out of debt
Dm Gm Dm Gm
Can't recall a useful thing You ever did for me
Dm Gm Dm Am
'Cept pat me on the back one time When I was on my knees
Bb Dm Gm
We stared into each other's eyes 'Til one of us would break
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
No use to apologize What diff'rence would it make
Dm Gm Dm Gm
So sing your praise of progress And of the Doom Machine
Dm Gm Dm Am
The naked truth is still tabu Whenever it can be seen
Bb Dm Gm
Lady Luck who shines on me Will tell you where I'm at
Bb Eb Bb Cm Gm
I hate myself for lovin' you But I should get over that

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BOB DYLAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
