The Band 1968 (Robbie Robertson) from Big Pink

G7 G C

  G            C
She reads the leaves and she leads the life
     G            D
That she learned so well from the old wives
    Em      D    C
It's so strange to arrange it, you know I
     D
wouldn't change it
  Em        D   C
But hear me if you're near me, can I just
  D
rearrange it?

  G7
The watchman covers me

With his remedy
                 D
I can't see and it's hard to feel
         C       G
I think his magic might be real

G7 G C

G    G7          C
I can't get to you from your garden gate
       G          D
You know it's always locked by the magistrate
       Em    D    C
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's
D
just a lie
  Em     D     C         D
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

G7
If the good times get you through

I know the dogs won't bother you
                D
We'll be gone in moonshine time
             C     G
I've got a place they'll never find

G7 G C

      G         C
You know I do believe in your hexagram
      G          D
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?
    Em   D       C
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were
D
just a con?
  Em         D  C         D
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in

the dawn

G7
Now I must be on my way

I guess you really have to stay

Inside the mission walls
D        C    G
Down in Modark, Arkansas

G7 G C
