Hello Everyone,Guess the old man will always have something up his sleeve,
another great album from The father of Modern Rock'n'Roll.
The album is mostly straight in-your-face Blues,so I basically didn't write
the strumming patterns cause it's easy to figure out,also I didn't transcrib
any blues solos as it's mostly improvisation,so this is mainly chords and some
picking pattern when necessary.

All words & music written by Bob Dylan

Thunder On The Mountain

The Album starts with this simple yet amazing as usual 12-Bar Blues track,
for licks and solos,just play in Bb Blues.

Intro  : Eb F x2

Bb
Thunder on the mountain, fires on the moon
There's a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
Eb                                          Bb
Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow
              F                                    Bb
Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere I go 

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying
When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line
I'm wondering where in the world Alisha Keys could be
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee 

Feel like my soul is beginning to expand
Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away
The writing's on the wall, come read it, come see what it say 

Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum
Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from
I don't need any guide, I already know the way
Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day 

The pistols are poppin' and the power is down
I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town
The sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind keeps picking up speed
Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need 

I've been sitting down studying the art of love
I think it will fit me like a glove
I want some real good woman to do just what I say
Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today 

Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
Some sweet day I'll stand beside my king
I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing 

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
I been to St. Herman's church and I've said my religious vows
I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows 

I got the porkchops, she got the pie
She ain't no angel and neither am I
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams 

Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
Mean old twister bearing down on me
All the ladies of Washington scrambling to get out of town
Looks like something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane down 

Everybody's going and I want to go too
Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new
I did all I could and I did it right there and then
I've already confessed – no need to confess again 

Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north
I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth
The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the shelf
For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself

Outro : Eb Bb

That's It,Your Typical blues.
---------------------------------------------------------
Spirit on the Water

Now this is just the basic riff played in the intro and it's played 
over the verses,there's like 3 guitars I think,I just tabbed the ones 
I can hear most,A piano play the chords over the riff,so I guess you 
need 2 guitars to make it sound best.

The timing is indicated as each measure is a 4 count,listen to the record and you'll
get it.
 
Verse :

---------|---|---|
                  Bb
Spirit on the water
Eb                              Bb
Darkness on the face of the deep
Eb        Ebm7               Bb
   I keep thinking about you baby 
Eb      F      Bb
I can't hardly sleep 

I'm traveling by land 
Traveling through the dawn of day
You're always on my mind 
I can't stay away 

Chorus :
=======
Gm                  
I'd forgotten about you
Cm
Then you turned up again
         Gm
I always knew
     Cm
That we were meant to be more than friends 

When you are near 
It's just as plain as it can be
I'm wild about you, gal 
You ought to be a fool about me 

Can't explain 
The sources of this hidden pain
You burned your way into my heart 
You got the key to my brain 

I've been trampling through mud
Praying to the powers above
I'm sweating blood
You got a face that begs for love 

Life without you 
Doesn't mean a thing to me
If I can't have you,
I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea

Sometimes I wonder 
Why you can't treat me right
You do good all day 
Then you do wrong all night 

When you're with me
I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
What does it matter 
What price I pay 

They brag about your sugar 
Brag about it all over town
Put some sugar in my bowl
I feel like laying down

I'm pale as a ghost
Holding a blossom on a stem
You ever seen a ghost? No
But you have heard of them

I see you there
I'm blinded by the colors I see
I take good care
Of what belongs to me

I hear your name
Ringing up and down the line
I'm saying it plain
These ties are strong enough to bind

Your sweet voice
Calls out from some old familiar shrine
I got no choice
Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind

I could live forever
With you perfectly
You don't ever
Have to make a fuss over me

From East to West
Ever since the world began
I only mean it for the best
I want to be with you any way I can

I been in a brawl
Now I'm feeling the wall
I'm going away baby
I won't be back ‘til fall

High on the hill 
You can carry all my thoughts with you
You've numbed my will
This love could tear me in two

I wanna be with you in paradise
And it seems so unfair
I can't go back to paradise no more
I killed a man back there

You think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time  
-----------------------------------------------
Rollin' and Tumblin'

Another Amazing track,I'll just put down the intro solo,and the main riff
repeated througout,the riff is played with various variations,you can pick it up

  Eb                                            Bb
I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long  (Riffx3)
Eb                                              Bb 
I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long  (Riffx2)
F                                             Bb
Woke up this mornin', I must have bet my money wrong  (Riffx2)

I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain
I got troubles so hard, I just can't stand the strain
Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains

The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the golden light of day
The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the gold light of day
I ain't holding nothin' back now, I ain't standin' in anybody's way

Well, I did all I know just to keep you off my mind
Well, I did all I know just to keep you off my mind
Well, I paid and I paid and my sufferin' heart is always on the line

Well, I get up in the dawn and I go down and lay in the shade
I get up in the dawn and I go down and lay in the shade
I ain't nobody's house boy, I ain't nobody's well trained maid

I'm flat out spent, this woman been drivin' me to tears
I'm flat out spent, this woman she been drivin' me to tears
This woman so crazy, I swear I ain't gonna touch another one for years

Well, the warm weather is comin' and the buds are on the vine
The warm weather's comin', the buds are on the vine
Ain't nothing so depressing as trying to satisfy this woman of mine

I got up this mornin', saw the rising sun return
Well, I got up this mornin', seen the rising sun return
Sooner or later you too shall burn

The night's filled with shadows, the years are filled with early doom
The night's filled with shadows, the years are filled with early doom
I've been conjuring up all these long dead souls from their crumblin' tombs

Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen
Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen
Let's put our heads together, let's put old matters to an end

Now I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
Ah, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
I woke up this morning, I think I must be travelin' wrong 
----------------------------------------------------------------
When the Deal Goes Down

 
The song is in C#,and is transposed to C by using a capo on 1st Fret.

C  : 032010
Em : 022000
F  : 133211 or xx3211
G  : 320003
G7 : x33463
Dm : xx0231

you can use light sturmming or pickin' whichever you think sound better.

       C            Em            F              G7
In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light
      C           Dm     C          G
Where wisdom grows up in strife
   C           Em     F        G7
My bewildering brain, toils in vain
            C               Dm          C         
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
     F         G7               C            Am
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
F              C       Dm      G
Tomorrow keeps turning around
   C           Em      F        G7
We live and we die, we know not why
                 C           Dm         C
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down 

We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Solo: (Overdriven guitar with capo on 1st fret)

The moon gives light and shines by night
I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O'er the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Outro : C Em F G#m G#m Gm  C

Someday Baby


Again the blues,as always you figure the strumming pattern,shouldn't be hard.
Listen to the track for chords timing,and this is the little lick repeating after
each line.
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|--8s10-6s8s6---------|
|-------------8-6-8---|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|

Bb  
I don't care what you do, I don't care what you say
Eb                                        Bb
I don't care where you go or how long you stay
        F                     Eb               Bb
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

Well you take my money and you turn me out
You fill me up with nothin' but self doubt
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

When I was young, driving was my crave 
You drive me so hard, almost to the grave
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

I'm so hard pressed, my mind tied up in knots
I keep recycling the same old thoughts
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

So many good things in life that I overlooked
I don't know what to do now, you got me so hooked
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

Well, I don't want to brag, but I'm gonna ring your neck
When all else fails I'll make it a matter of self respect
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

You can take your clothes put 'm in a sack
You goin' down the road, baby and you can't come back
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

I try to be friendly, I try to be kind
Now I'm gonna drive you from your home, just like I was driven from mine
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

Living this way ain't a natural thing to do
Why was I born to love you?
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more. 

All solos are played on the same progression as the verse.

Workingman's Blues #2


Not much to say here 'cept for the chords,nice tune though.

A     : 577655   F#m    : 244222      Bm     : x24432    D   : xx0232
E(I)  : XX6454   E(II)  : xx6450      E(III) : 022100    C#m : x4665x

A                       E(I) 
There's an evenin' haze settlin' over the town
F#m                          C#m
Starlight by the edge of the creek
    A                       E(I)
The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
Bm                          E(III)
Money's gettin' shallow and weak

The place I love best is a sweet memory
It's a new path that we trod
They say low wages are a reality
If we want to compete abroad 

My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
Come sit down on my knee
You are dearer to me than myself
As you yourself can see
I'm listenin' to the steel rails hum
Got both eyes tight shut
Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
Creeping it's way into my gut 

CHORUS
D                            E(II)
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
A                     E(II)
Bring me my boots and shoes
D                                    E(II)
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
Bm                         E(III)        A
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues 

Littler Interlude : just play A7 : 577685

Now, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul
Tossed by the winds and the seas
I'll drag ‘em all down to hell and I'll stand ‘em at the wall
I'll sell ‘em to their enemies
I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
Sometimes no one wants what we got
Sometimes you can't give it away 

Now the place is ringed with countless foes
Some of them may be deaf and dumb
No man, no woman knows 
The hour that sorrow will come
In the dark I hear the night birds call
I can hear a lover's breath
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
Sleep is like a temporary death

(chorus)

Well, they burned my barn, they stole my horse
I can't save a dime
I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
Into a life of continual crime
I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
How I wish you were here to see 
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
That you have forgotten me? 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bob_dylan/modern_times_tab.html ]
Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
They waste your nights and days
Them I will forget
But you I'll remember always
Old memories of you to me have clung
You've wounded me with words
Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
It's all true, everything you have heard 

(chorus) 

In you, my friend, I find no blame
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
No one can ever claim
That I took up arms against you
All across the peaceful sacred fields
They will lay you low
They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
I say it so it must be so 

Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
Gonna give you another chance
I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
Got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
I can live on rice and beans
Some people never worked a day in their life
Don't know what work even means 

(chorus)

           F      Bbm            Fmaj7/A
Beyond the horizon, behind the sun
Gm                C                     F        (F)
At the end of the rainbow life has only begun
                     F       Bbm                    Fmaj7/A
In the long hours of twilight 'neath the stardust above
           C            C7        F
Beyond the horizon it is easy to love

Gm                  F
My wretched heart's pounding
Gm                F
I felt an angel's kiss 
Gm              F
My memories are drowning
Bb        C
In mortal bliss 

               F       Bbm               F
Beyond the horizon, in the Springtime or Fall
           C                       F
Love waits forever for one and for all 

Beyond the horizon across the divide
'Round about midnight, we'll be on the same side
Down in the valley the water runs cold
Beyond the horizon someone prayed for your soul

I'm touched with desire
What don't I do?
I'll throw the logs on the fire
I'll build my world around you 

Beyond the horizon, at the end of the game
Every step that you take, I'm walking the same

 F                               Bbm             Fmaj7/A   Gm

Beyond the horizon the night winds blow
The theme of a melody from many moons ago
The bells of St. Mary, how sweetly they chime
Beyond the horizon I found you just in time

It's dark and it's dreary
I ponder in vain
I'm weakened, I'm weary
My repentance is plain

Beyond the horizon o'er the treacherous sea
I still can't believe that you've set aside your love for me
 F                         Bbm                Fmaj7

Beyond the horizon, 'neath crimson skies 
In the soft light of morning I'll follow you with my eyes
Through countries and kingdoms and temples of stone
Beyond the horizon right down to the bone

It's late in the season
Never knew, never cared
Whatever the reason
Someone's life has been spared

Beyond the horizon the sky is so blue
I've got more than a lifetime to live lovin' you

Nettie Moore

one of my favourites in this album.


Capo 4th Fret

Em  : 022000      D   : 200232
Am  : x02210      ??  : X110XX
C   : X32010      G   : 320003

The trick is to pick seperate notes,again it's all in the record.

Intro,Verses & Ourto :

Em        D            C        G
Lost John sittin' on a railroad track
??                Am
Something's out of wack
Em         D               G         C
Blues this morning falling down like hail
G             Am     G
Gonna leave a greasy trail

Gonna travel the world is what I'm gonna do
Then come back and see you
All I ever do is struggle and strive
If I don't do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive

I'm the oldest son of a crazy man
I'm in a cowboy band
Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ain't got time to hide
I'd walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side

CHORUS
      G
Oh, I miss you Nettie Moore
       C
And my happiness is o'er
Am                                G
Winter's gone, the river's on the rise
            G             B7
I loved you then and ever shall
            C                          G  
But there's no one here that's left to tell
    C              Am              G
The world has gone black before my eyes

The world of research has gone berserk
Too much paperwork
Albert's in the grave-yard, Frankie's raising hell
I'm beginning to believe what the scriptures tell

I'm going where the Southern crosses the yellow dog
Get away from all these demagogues
And these bad luck women stick like glue
It's either one or the other or neither of the two

She says, "look out daddy, don't want you to tear your pants.
You can get wrecked in this dance."
They say whiskey will kill ya, but I don't think it will
I'm riding with you to the top of the hill

(chorus)

Don't know why my baby never looked so good before
I don't have to wonder no more
She been cooking all day and it's gonna take me all night
I can't eat all that stuff in a single bite

The Judge is coming in, everybody rise
Lift up your eyes
You can do what you please, you don't need my advice
Before you call me any dirty names you better think twice

Getting light outside, the temperature dropped
I think the rain has stopped
I'm going to make you come to grips with fate
When I'm through with you, you'll learn to keep your business straight

(chorus)

The bright spark of the steady lights
Has dimmed my sights
When you're around all my grief gives 'way
A lifetime with you is like some heavenly day

Everything I've ever known to be right has proven wrong
I'll be drifting along
The woman I'm lovin' , she rules my heart
No knife could ever cut our love apart

Today I'll stand in faith and raise
The voice of praise
The sun is strong, I'm standing in the light
I wish to God that it were night

The Levee's Gonna Break

again your typical 12 Bar Blues in Bb,I may add the solos in a seperate file later.
an acoustic does the strumming,while 2 electrics,one plays the slide,and the other 
does the blues sturm,that's how I play it on one guitar,I'm sure you can do better.

Main Riff:
 Bb                     Eb

Bb     
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
Eb                                    Bb
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
F                                                  Bb
Everybody saying this is a day only The Lord could make 

Well I worked on the levee Mama, both night and day
Well I worked on the levee Mama, both night and day
I got to the river and I threw my clothes away 

I paid my time and now I'm as good as new
I paid my time and now I'm as good as new
They can't take me back, not unless I want them to 

If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
Some of these people gonna strip you of all they can take 

I can't stop here, I ain't ready to unload
I can't stop here, I ain't ready to unload
Riches and salvation can be waiting behind the next bend in the road 

I picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks I get
I picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks I get
You say you want me to quit ya, I told you no, not just yet 

I look in your eyes, I see nobody else but me
I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me
I see all that I am and all I hope to be 

If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
Some of these people don't know which road to take 

When I'm with you I forget I was ever blue
When I'm with you I forget I was ever blue
Without you there's no meaning in anything I do 

Some people on the road carrying everything that they own
Some people on the road carrying everything that they own
Some people got barely enough skin to cover their bones 

Put on your cat clothes, Mama, put on your evening dress
Put on your cat clothes, Mama, put on your evening dress
A few more years of hard work then there'll be a thousand years of happiness 

If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
I tried to get you to love me, but I won't repeat that mistake 

If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
Plenty of cheap stuff out there still around to take 

I woke up this morning, butter and eggs in my bed
I woke up this morning, butter and eggs in my bed
I ain't got enough room to even raise my head 

Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Don't be a stranger without a brain or heart 

If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin' the levee gonna break
Some people still sleepin', some people are wide awake

Em                                   Em  
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
    Em                                    Em
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
Am                                    Am 
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Em                  Em
Someone hit me from behind

      Em            Em
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am                          Em
Through this weary world of woe
      Em             Em
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Am(strum) D(strum)         Em
No one on earth would ever know

They say prayer has the power to help
So pray from the mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
They'll be no mercy for you once you've lost

Now I'm all worn down by weepin'
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleepin'
I'll just slaughter them where they lie

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walking through the cities of the plague

Interlude :  Em  Em  Em  Em
  

The whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world which people say is round
They will tear your mind away from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Eatin' hog eyed grease in hog eyed town
Heart burnin' – still yearnin'
Someday you'll be glad to have me around

Interlude : Em  Em  Em  Em 

They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll avenge my father's death then I'll step back

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Hand me down my walkin' cane
Heart burnin', still yearnin' 
Got to get you out of my miserable brain

Interlude : Em  Em  Em  Em

All my loyal and much loved companions
They approve of me and share my code
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
My mule is sick, my horse is blind
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Thinkin' ‘bout that gal I left behind

It's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire's gone out but the light is never dying
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Carrying a dead man's shield 
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' with a toothache in my heel

The suffering is unending
Every nook and cranny has it's tears
I'm not playing, I'm not pretending
I'm not nursing any superfluous fears

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Walkin' ever since the other night
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin' ‘til I'm clean out of sight

Interlude : Em  Em  Em  Em x2

As I walked out in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, hot summer lawn
Excuse me, ma'am I beg your pardon
There's no one here, the gardener is gone

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Up the road around the bend
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
In the last outback, at the world's end 
 
Outro : same as intro with strumming and celloes then end on
