BUCKETS OF RAIN (by Bob Dylan; performed by Wendy Bucklew)
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
[This is from the Bob Dylan tribute album put out by Altlanta-area
musicians a few years back. It's actually in F#, with a capo at
the 4th fret, tuned DGDF#AD. It sounds fairly similar to Dylan's
version.]

Now I been meek and hard like an oak; you know I seen pretty people disappear
like smoke
And friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If'n you want me, well honey baby, I'll be here
Oh yeah, mmm-hmmmmm-hmmm-hmmmmm
Mmm-hmmm-hmm-mmmmm-hmm-hmmmmm
[instrumental: A G F#m Em etc.]
I like your smile and your fingertips; I like the way that you move your hips
I like that cool way you look at me
Now everything about you is bringing me misery
Oh yeah, mmm-hmmmmm-hmmm-hmmmmm
Mmm-hmmm-hmm-mmmmm-hmm-hmmmmm
[instrumental: A G F#m Em etc.]
Little red wagon, little red bike; I ain't no monkey, but I know what I like
And I like the way you love me strong and slow
Taking you with me, honey baby, when I go
Taking you with me, honey baby, when I go
