All I Really Want To Do

written by bob dylan

I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, or crucify you
All i really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

No, i ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or tighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All i really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

I don't want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
See like me or be like me

I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All i really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

Chimes Of Freedom

Written by bob dylan

Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far off corner flashed
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Starry eyed and laughing, as i recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed till the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, srung-out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Daytime Just Makes Me Feel Lonely

Oh, you know it makes me sad to see you feel so bad
For it happened to you many times before
But if you will come with me
Then girl you will see
That you won't have to cry any more
There's no reason to feel blue, because nobody says to you
And i will..........to see you hurt no more
I could never do you wrong cause my love for you is too strong
And you won't have to cry any more
Oh i saw you very............in your eyes
Because he told so many, many lies
Oh you know.......
To put yourself on time
Try thinking now the things we said before (we've done ?)
Just trust in loving me and girl you will see
That you won't have to cry any more

Don't Doubt Yourself Babe

Don't doubt yourself, babe
Let your feet stand up for your.........
I know what's running through your mind
It take you.........to capture your time
Make love...........straight and narrow, oh oh
Don't doubt yourself, girl
Let...............you know........well
For all the............been done to you
...................so don't be blue
.................been through you're lucky oh oh
Don't doubt yourself when
Daylight fades and darkness begin
It only comes to show you that
You don't know..........where it is at
Rest.................no nothing oh oh
Don't doubt yourself cause
At the end of your words no were applause
The truth's proved to be found
Hard to take first time around
So don't you worry it's gonna be alright oh oh

Here Without You

Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night i can only dream about you
Girl you're on my mind
Nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you.
Words in my head keep repeating
Things that you said when i was with you.
And i wonder is it true
Do you feel the same way too
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you
Oh i know this won't last
I'll see you someday
It seems as though that day will come never
But there's one thing i'll swear
Though you're far away
I'll be thinking about you forever
Streets that i walk on depress me
Ones that were happy when i was with you
Still with all the friends i know
And with all the things i do
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you.

I Knew I'd Want You

Written by gene clark

I'd like to love you , with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew i'd want you, oh yeah

I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new girl, just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I knew i'd want you, oh yeah

I meet so many people, i feel i don't know
But i felt so close to you, when you said hello
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
There we'll be happy, and there i'll know why
I knew i'd want you, oh yeah

I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better

Written by gene clark

The reason why, oh i can say
I have to let you go babe, and right away
After what you did, i can't stay on
And i'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time, you had me believe
That your love was all mine, and that's the way it would be
But i didn't know, that you were putting me on
And i'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Now i've got to say, that it's not like before
And i'm not gonna play, your games anymore
After what you did, i can't stay on
And i'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Oh when you're gone
Oh when you're gone
Oh when you're gone

It's No Use

It's no use saying you're gonna stay
If you don't want to be all mine
I haven't got room for somebody who
Is gonna hurt me all the time
Somebody who couldn't see
All the love i was trying to give
It's no use saying you're gonna stay
If you don't want our love to live.
It's no use keeping you around
If you don't want me all the way
There's somebody new who can be found
And i'll find her someday
And she will be everything
All the love she has she'll want to give
It's no use saying you're gonna stay
If you don't want our love to live.
If you don't, oh i'd love to leave
If you don't, oh i'd love to leave
Oh i should be good to you but i can't cause before
I was really true to you but you only hurt me more
(repeat first verse)

Mr. Tambourine Man

Written by bob dylan

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place i'm going to
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, i'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, i'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place i'm going to
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, i'll come followin' you

Spanish Harlem Incident

Written by bob dylan

Gypsy gal, the hands of harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Your flaming feet burn up the street
I am homeless come and take me
Into reach of your rattling drums
Let me know babe about my fortune
Down along my restless palms

Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes so fast and slashing
An' your flashing diamond teeth
The night is pitch black, come and make my
Pale face fit in to place,ah, please!
I gotta know babe, i'm nearly drowning
If it's you, my lifelines trace

I been wond'rin' all about me
Ever since i seen you there
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms i'm riding
I know i'm 'round you but i don't know where
You have slayed me, you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know babe, will you surround me?
So i can tell if i'm really real

The Bells Of Rhymney

Words by idris davies
Music by pete seeger

Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of blaina
Put the vandals in court
Say the bells of newport
All would be well if, if, if, if
Say the green bells of cardiff
Why so worried sisters? why?
Sang the silver bells of wye
And what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of blaina

We'll Meet Again

We'll meet again don't know where don't know when
But i know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling true just like you always do
Till the blue skies make the dark clouds fade away
Some sunny day hey hey hey (3x)
We'll meet again don't know where don't know when
But i know we'll meet again some sunny day
(repeat first verse)
(repeat second verse)
