Subterranean Homesick Blues chords
Bob Dylan
Johnny's in the basement
mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat,
badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough,
wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it's something you did
God knows when, but you're
doing it again
You better
duck down the alleyway,
looking for a new friend
The
man in the coonskin cap in the pig pen
Wants
eleven dollar bills, but
you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot,
face full of black soot
Talking that the heat put
plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
, Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early M
ay, orders from the D.A.
Look out kid, don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes, don'
t try No Doz
Better stay away from those
that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather ma
n to know which way the wind blows
Ah, get sick, get well, han
g around the Ink Well
Ring a bell, hard to tell i
f anything is going to sell
Try hard, get barred, get b
ack, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail, join
the army, if you fail
Look out kid, you're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters, six-t
ime users
Hanging 'round the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool's looking for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, and w
atch your parking meters
Ah get born, keep warm, sho
rt pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed, t
ry to be a success
Please her, please him, buy
gifts, don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schooling a
nd they put you on the day shift
Look out kid, they keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole,
light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals, try to
avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum
The pump don't work 'cause
the vandals took the handle
