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
