Chords for Blind Willie McTell by Bob Dylan with Mick Taylor (slide version) 1983

[Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ See the [Bb] arrow [Ebm] on the dark bone
_ Saying this [Bb] land [Ebm] is condemned
_ All [Bb] the way [Db] from [Ab] New [B] Orleans To [Db] [Ebm] Jerusalem
_ _ Well I traveled [Bb] through [Ebm] East Texas
_ Where [Bbm] many [Ebm] martyrs fell
_ And I [Bb] know no one [Db] can [Ab] sing the blues
[B] Like [Db] mine when it [Ebm] began _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Ebm] I've heard that old house singing
_ [Ab] As [Ebm] they were [Bb] taking down the [Ebm] tents
_ The _ [Bb] stars [Db] above the [Ab] barren trees
[B] Was his [Bbm] only [Ebm] eye
_ _ _ Them charcoal gypsy maidens
_ _ _ Strut their [Eb] feathers [Ebm] well
_ _ _ But [Bb] nobody can [Db] sing the blues
[Ab] Like [B] blind Willie [Db] _
_ [Ebm] _ Macdonald _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Db] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
See [Bb] that big [Ebm] plantation's burning
Hear _ [Bb] the cracking of [Ebm] the wind _ _
Smell that sweet [Bb] magnolia blooming
[Db] See the [Ab] ghost of [B] slavery's [Db] ships
[Ebm] _ I _ _ can [Bb] hear them [Ebm] tribes a moaning
_ [Gb]
[Ebm] Hear that [Bb] [Ebm] undertaker's bell _ _
And I know [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] that [B] blind Willie [Db] _ _ [Ebm] Macdonald _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
[B] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
a woman [Bb] by [Ebm] the river _
With some fine young [Bb] handsome [Ebm] man _ _
_ He's dressed [Bb] up like a [Db] spy
With [Ab] a leg and [B] whisker in his [Db] [Ebm] hand _ _
There's a chain gang on the highway _ _
I can hear them rebels yelling _
And I know [Bb] no one [Db] can sing the [Ab] blues
Like [B] blind [Db] Willie _ [Ebm] Macdonald _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
[B] God _ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] is in [Ebm] his heaven
And we [Bb] all look [Ebm] for tears _
But power [Bb] and greed and [Db] corruptible [Ab] seed
[B] Seem to be [Db] all that there [Ebm] is _ _
I'm gazing _ _ _ _ over the old St.
[Bbm] James' [Ebm] hotel _ _
And I know no [Bb] one [Db] can sing the blues
[Ab] Like [B] blind [Db] Willie _ [Ebm] Macdonald _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [B] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ [Ebm] _ Like _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ blind Willie Macdonald
