Jokerman
Bob Dylan
Tom: Bb Capotraste na 1ª casa

A                  A7M
Standin' on the water casting your 
bread
 Bm/A                 E/A         
While the eyes of the idol with 
                 A
the iron head are glowing
A                      A7M
Distant ships sailin' into the mist
Bm/A                            
You were born with a snake in both 
E/A
of your fists
                        A
While a hurricane was blowing
Bm              E                 
Freedom, just around the corner for 
 A
you
Bm                      E        
But with truth so far off, what 
            A        D
good would it do?

 E                         D
Jokerman dance to the nightingale's 
tune
 A        E/G#         F#m       
Bird fly high by the light of the
   D
 moon
 A/C#  D      E       A
Oh, oh, oh      Jokerman

A                 A7M
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
  Bm/A             E/A          
You rise up and say goodbye to no 
   A
one
A                   A7M
Fools rush in where angels fear to 
tread
Bm/A                           
Both of their futures so full of 
      E/A
dread
                A
You don't show one


Bm            E                   A
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Bm               E         
Keeping one step ahead of the 
                  A      D
persecutor within

 E                       D
Jokerman dance to the nightingale's 
tune

Oh, oh, oh      Jokerman

A                         A7M
You're a man of the mountains, you 
can walk on the clouds
Bm/A              E/A        
Manipulator of crowds, you're a 
            A
dream twister
A                     A7M
You go to Sodom and Gomorrah, but 
what do you care?
Bm/A           E/A
Ain't nobody there
                           A
Would want to marry your sister
Bm                         E     
A friend to the martyr, a friend 
                  A
to the woman of shame
Bm                           E   
You look into the fiery furnace -
                              A  D
 see the rich man without any name

 E                         D

Bird fly high by the light of the
   D
 moon
 A/C#  D      E       A  (A  D  E A)
Oh, oh, oh      Jokerman

A                     A7M
Well the book of Leviticus and 
Deuteronomy

Bm/A                      E/A    
The law of the jungle and the 
                    A
sea, are your only teachers
A                      A7M
In the smoke of the twilight on a 
milk-white steed
 Bm/A                        
Michelangelo indeed could have 
E/A                   A
carved out your features
Bm                         E     
Resting in the fields far from 
               A
the turbulent space
Bm                     E         
Half asleep neath the stars with 
                           A   D
a small dog licking your face

     E                     D
Jokerman dance to the nightingale's 
tune
 A       E/G#         F#m         
Bird fly high by the light of the 
 D
moon
 A/C#   D     E       A   (A  D 
Oh, oh, oh      Jokerman
 E A)


A                     A7M
Well the mafia man stalkin' the sick
 and the lame
Bm/A                      E/A    
Preacher man seeks the same, 
                          A
Who'll get there first is uncertain
A                    A7M
Matchsticks and water cannons 
teargas, padlocks
Bm/A                   E/A       
Molotav cocktails and rocks, 
           A
Behind every curtain
Bm                    E          
False-hearted judges dyin' in the
                A
 webs that they spin
Bm                     E     
Only a matter of time til night 
              A          D
comes steppin' in

         E                D

Bird fly high by the light of the
    D
 moon
 A/C#   D      E    A   (A  D  E A)
Oh, oh, oh      Jokerman

A                       A7M
It's a shadowy world - skies are 
slippery grey
Bm/A                E/A          
A woman just gave birth to a 
                           A
prince today, and dressed him in 
scarlet
A                            A7M
He'll put the priest in his pocket -
 put the blade to the heat
Bm/A                 E/A         
Take the motherless children off 
                               A
the street, And place them at the 
feet of a harlot
Bm             E              A
Oh Jokerman you know what he wants
Bm              E           
Oh Jokerman you don't show any 
       A      D
