Baia - Jokerman (Album - Baia Bossa Dylan) chords
Start Jamming...
[G] Standing on the [D] waters, [G] casting your breath
By the eyes of the eye, the withered hide on head are glowing
Distant ships sailing [D] through the [G] mist
You [C] were born with a snake in both [G] your face while a hurricane was blowing
[Em] Freedom [C] is [D] just around the corner [G] for you
With the [C] truth so far [D] off, what [G] good will it do?
[C]
[D] Joker Man danced to [C] the nightingale tune
[G] But fly [D] high by [C] the light of the moon
[G] Whoa, whoa, [C] whoa, [G] whoa, oh, Joker Man
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say good-bye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Bows to the future so [D] full of dread [G] you don't show on
[C] Shedding off [G] one more layer of skin
Keeping [C] one step ahead [G] of the persecutor within
[C] Joker [D] Man thanks to [C] the nightingale tune
[G] Must [D] fly high by [C] the light of the moon
[G] Oh-oh-oh, oh [C]-oh-oh, oh-oh [D]-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, [G] oh-oh-oh, Joker Man
You are a man of the mountains, you [D] can walk on the clouds,
[C] Manipulator of crowds, [D] you are a [G] dream twister.
You got a son of a mongol moha, but what [D] do you care?
[C] Ain't nobody there would [D] want to marry your [G] sister.
[C] A friend to the martyr, [D] a friend to [G] the woman of shame.
You look [C] into the fiery furnace, see the [D] rich man [G] without any [C] name.
[D] Joker man dance to [C] the nightingale tune, [G] birds [D] fly high by [C] the light of the moon.
[G] Oh-oh-oh, oh [C]-oh-oh, [G] oh-oh-oh Joker man.
Well [C] [D]
[G] the book of Leviticus [D] and Deuteronomy, [C] the lord of the jungle and [D] the sea,
Are you [G] only teacher?
In the smoke of a twilight [D] in the milk white sea
[C] Michelangelo [D] indeed could pound out [G] your feature
Wrestling [C] a fierce [D] fall [G] from the turbulent space
Half [C] asleep near the stars [D] with the small dog licking [G] your face
[C] [D] Joker man dance [C] to the nightingale tune
[G] The [D] sky high [Em] by the light of [C] the moon
[G] [C] [G] Joker man
The
[D] [G]
man's talking, the sickly and [D] the lame
[G] Preacher man sits the same
[D] Who got there first is [G] uncertain
Night sticks, a water can, [D] a tear gas
Battle of [G] smallpox, cocktails [D] and rocks
Behind [G] every curtain
[C] False-hearted [G] churches die in the labs that they spin
[C] Only a matter of time, [D] to the night comes [G] Stephanie
[C]
Joker [D] man dance [C] to the nightingale tune
[G] Birds fly high [Em] by the light of [C] the moon [G] [C] [G] Joker man
It's [D]
[G] a shadowy world, [D] skies are slippery grey
[G] A woman just gave birth to [D] a priest today
And dressed [G] him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket
[D] Put the blade to the heat
[G] Take the motherless children [D] off the street
And place them [G] at the feet of a harlot
[C] Oh, Joker man, [D] you [G] know what he wants
[C] Oh, Joker [D] man, you don't show [G] any response
[C] [D] Joker man [C] dance to the nightingale [G] tune
Birds [D] fly [Em] high by the light [C] of the moon
[G] Oh, [C]
[D] [G] Joker man
