Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues chords
Bob Dylan *

D MajorD C majorC G+G 2x

      G+G
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez,
     C majorC      G+G
and it's Easter time too

And your gravity fails,
  C majorC             G+G
and negativity don't pull you through

Don't put on any airs,
      C majorC           G+G
when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
     D MajorD
They got some hungry women there,
     C majorC            G+G
and they really make a mess outa you.

Now if you see Saint Annie,
C majorC            G+G
please tell her thanks a lot

I cannot move,
  C majorC          G+G
my fingers are all in a knot

I don't have the strength,
  C majorC            G+G
to get up and take another shot
    D MajorD
And my best friend, my doctor,
   C majorC            G+G
won't even say what it is I've got.


Sweet Melinda,
  C majorC                G+G
the peasants call her the goddess of gloom

She speaks good English,
     C majorC           G+G
and she invites you up into her room

And you're so kind,
  C majorC              G+G
and careful not to go to her too soon
    D MajorD
And she takes your voice,
  C majorC             G+G
and leaves you howling at the moon.

Up on Housing Project Hill,
   C majorC         G+G
it's either fortune or fame

You must pick up one or the other,
    C majorC                  G+G
though neither of them are to be what they claim

If you're lookin' to get silly,
  C majorC                G+G
you better go back to from where you came
      D MajorD
Because the cops don't need you,
  C majorC          G+G
and man they expect the same.


Now all the authorities,
C majorC             G+G
they just stand around and boast

How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms,
   C majorC      G+G
into leaving his post

And picking up Angel who,
C majorC             G+G
just arrived here from the coast
  D MajorD
Who looked so fine at first,
  C majorC            G+G
but left looking just like a ghost.

G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G


I started out on burgundy,
  C majorC          G+G
but soon hit the harder stuff

Everybody said they'd stand behind me,
     C majorC    G+G
when the game got rough

But the joke was on me,
     C majorC          G+G
there was nobody even there to bluff
     D MajorD
I'm going back to New York City,
 C majorC          G+G
I do believe I've had enough.

D MajorD C majorC G+G 4x
