Every Grain Of Sand chords acoustic
Bob Dylan 1981

Capo I

D MajorD G+G 4x

    D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD         G+G
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
     D MajorD        G+G       A augmentedA
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
     D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD        G+G
There's a dying voice within me reaching out somewhere
D MajorD       G+G         A augmentedA
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.

   A augmentedA              D MajorD       A augmentedA
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
                    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
    D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD        G+G
In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand
  D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.

    D MajorD        G+G       D MajorD       G+G
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
   D MajorD          G+G          A augmentedA
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
  D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD         G+G
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
  D MajorD        G+G        A augmentedA
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.

 A augmentedA            D MajorD         A augmentedA
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
                 D MajorD       A augmentedA
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
   D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD      G+G
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
   D MajorD       G+G       A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

    D MajorD         G+G       D MajorD       G+G
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
    D MajorD       G+G           A augmentedA
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light
    D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD      G+G
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
    D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.

 A augmentedA                  D MajorD       A augmentedA
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
                        D MajorD        A augmentedA
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
   D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD     G+G
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
   D MajorD       G+G       A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
