Bob DylanI Want You     (Album: Blonde on Blonde (1966))

[Intro]:  F,  Am,  Dm,  C;  F

     F                                     Am

They guilty undertaker sighs, the lonesome organ-grinder cries

     Dm                                             C7

The silver saxaphones say I should refuse you

          Bb

The cracked bells and washed out horns

C

Blow into my face with scorn

            Dm                                 C7

But it’s not that way, I wasn’t born to lose you

   F                 Am            Dm                  C7                         F

I Want You, I want you, I want you so bad,  Honey I want you

The drunken politician leaps upon the street where the mothers weep

And the saviors who are fast asleep they wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt me drinking from my broken cup

And asking me to open up the gate for you    [Chorus]

    Am                                                           Dm                               

Now all my fathers they’ve gone down, true love they’ve been without it

     Am                                                      Bb                            C7

But all their daughters put me down cos I don’t think about it

Well I return to the Queen of Spades & talk with my chambermaid

She knows that I’m not afraid to look at her

She is good to me and there’s nothing she doesn’t see

She knows where I’d like to be but It doesn’t matter [Chorus]

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit

He spoke to me, I took his flute

I know I wasn’t very cute to him, was I?

But I did it because he lied

& because he took you for a ride

& because time was on his side, and because I [Chorus]
