DIRGE BOB DYLAN Capo 3rd Fret Em Am Em Am ( x 2 ) Bm Em Bm Em I hate myself for lovin' you, and the weakness that it showed Bm Em Bm F#m You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road. G Bm Em The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel G C G Am Em I hate myself for lovin' you, and I'm glad the curtain fell. Em Am Em Am Bm Em Bm Em I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed Bm Em Bm F#m And the mercy that you showed to me - whoever would have guessed G Bm Em I went out on Lower Broadway, and I felt that place within G C G Am Em That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin Em Am Em Am Bm Em Bm Em Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped Bm Em Bm F#m Acting out his folly, while his back is being whipped G Bm Em Like a slave in orbit he's beaten 'til he's tame G C G Am Em All for a moment's glory, and it's dirty, rotten shame Em Am Em Am ( x 2 ) Bm Em Bm Em There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them Bm Em Bm F#m In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem G Bm Em The crystal ball up on the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet G C G Am Em I've paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt Em Am Em Am ( x 2 ) Bm Em Bm Em Can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me Bm Em Bm F#m 'Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees G Bm Em We stared into each other's eyes, til one of us would break G C G Am Em No use to apologize what difference would it make Em Am Em Am ( x 2 ) Bm Em Bm Em So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine Bm Em Bm F#m The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen G Bm Em Lady Luck who shines on me will tell you where I'm at G C G Am Em I hate myself for lovin' you but I should get over that Em Am Em Am ( x 2 ) Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm F#m G Bm Em .......
