Chords for Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown (Official Audio)

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hollis Brown, he lived [Db] on the [Eb] outside of town _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hollis Brown, he lived [Abm] on the outside [Eb] of town
With _ _ _ _ _ his wife and five children [Ab] and his cabin [Eb] broken down
He _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He looked for work and money [Abm] and he walked a ragged [Eb] mile
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Your children are so hungry that they [Abm] don't know how [Eb] to [Db] smile
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
_ _ _ Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve _
You _ _ _ _ _ walk the floor and wonder [Db] why with [Eb] every breath you _ breathe
_ _ _ _ _ The rats have got your flower, [Ab] bad blooded [Eb] got your mare _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ If _ _ _ _ _ _ _ there's anyone that [Abm] knows, there's [Eb] anyone that cares _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He prayed to the lord above, oh please send you a friend _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He prayed to the lord above, oh please send you a friend _
Your _ _ _ _ empty pockets tell [Db] you that [Eb] you ain't got no friend _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Your baby's a-cryin' louder [Db] now, it's [Ab] a-pounding on your [Eb] brain _
_ _ _ _ _ Your _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
wife _ _ _ _ _ screams a-stabbing you like the dirty driving rain _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Your [Db] grass is [Eb] turning black, there's no water in your well _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You _ _ _ _ _ spent your last long dollar on seven shotgun shells _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Way out in the [Ab] wilderness a cold [Eb] coyote _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ calls _ _
_ _ _ _ Your eyes fix on the shotgun [Ab] that's hanging [Eb] on the wall _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Your brain is a-bleeding [Ab] and your legs can't [Eb] seem to stand
_ Your _ _ _ _ _ brain is a-bleeding and your legs can't seem to stand _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Your eyes fix on the shotgun [Ab] that you're holding in your [Eb] hand _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There's seven breezes blowing [Ab] all around the [Eb] cabin door _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [Eb] _ Seven _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] shots [Eb] ring out like the ocean's pounding roar
_ _ _ [Db] _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
There's seven people dead [Ab] on a South [Eb] Dakota farm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] Some ways in the [Eb] distance there's seven new people born
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
