Chords for Bob Dylan - The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (Official Audio)

[E] _ _ _ Williams [Dbm] and Zinger [Abm] killed for Hattie Carroll,
_ for [E] the cane that he [Dbm] twirled around his [Abm] diamond ring finger
at [E] a Baltimore [Dbm] Hotel _ [Abm] society gathering.
_ [E] And the cops was [Dbm] called in, and [Abm] his weapon
took from him as they [E] rode him [Dbm] in custody _ [Abm] down to the station
[E] and booked Williams [Dbm]
and Zinger [Abm] for first degree murder.
_ _ [B] _ _
[A] But you [B] [Abm] who _
[E] _ philosophize [Dbm] disgrace [A] and _ criticize [Abm] _ _
[E] all fears, _ _
_ [A] take _ [B] the [E] rag away _ [Dbm] from your face.
_ [A] Now ain't [B] the [Abm] time for [E] your tears. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Williams [Dbm] and Zinger, who had [Abm] 24 years, _ _
[E] _ owns [Dbm] a tobacco farm of [Abm] 600 acres _ [E] with rich, wealthy [Dbm] parents
who [Abm] provide and protect him _ _ in [E] high office _ [Dbm] relations,
[Abm] in the politics of Maryland, _ [E] reacted [Dbm] to his deed
[Abm] with a shrug of his shoulders _ [E] and swear [Dbm] words and sneering.
[Abm] In his tongue, it was a snarling. _ _ _
And in [E] a matter [Dbm] of minutes, on [Abm] bail was I walking.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [A] But you _
[B] who [E] _ _ philosophize disgrace [A] and _ _
[B] [Abm] criticize _ [E] _ fears,
_ _ _ _ [A] take [B] the _ [E] rag away [Dbm] from your face.
_ [A]
Now ain't [B] the time for your [E] tears. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Addie [Dbm] Carroll was [Abm] a maid in the kitchen. _
_ _ _ _ She [E] was 51 [Dbm] years old and [Abm] gave birth
to 10 children who _ _ [E] carried [Dbm] the dishes
[Abm] and took out the garbage _ and _
[E] never [Dbm] sat once
[Abm] at the head of the table [E] and didn't even
[Dbm] talk to [Abm] the people at the table who [E] just [Dbm] cleaned up
all [Abm] the food from the table [E] and emptied [Dbm] the ashtrays
[Abm] on a whole other level, got killed [Dbm] by a blow,
[Abm] lay slain by a king [E] that sailed through [Dbm] the air
and [Abm] came down through the room, _ _
[E] doomed and [Dbm] determined
to [Abm] destroy all the gentle.
And she [E] never [Dbm] done nothing [Abm] to Williams [B] and Zinger.
_ _ _ And [A]
you _ [B] who _ [E] _
_ philosophize [Dbm] disgrace _
[A] and _ [Abm] criticize _
[E] all fears, _ _ _
_ _ [A] take [B] the [Abm] rag [E] away _ [Dbm] from your face.
[A] Now [B] ain't the [Abm] time [E] for your tears. _

_ _ In the courtroom [Dbm] of honor, the [Abm] judge
pounded his gavel to _ [E] show that [Dbm] all's equal
and that the [Abm] courts are on the level _
_ and that the strings in [Dbm] the books
ain't [Abm] pulled and persuaded and that even [Dbm] the nobles get
[Abm] _ properly handled [E] once that [Dbm] the cops have [Abm] chased after
and caught them and [E] that the ladder [Dbm] of law
has [Abm] no top and no bottom. _
_ [E] Stared [Dbm] at the person [Abm] who killed for no reason,
who just [E] happened to [Dbm] be feeling [Abm] that way without warning. _
_ And [E] he spoke through [Dbm] his cloak, most [Abm] deep and distinguished,
_ and [E] handed [Dbm] out strongly [Abm] for penalty and repentance,
_ [E] Williams [Dbm] and Zinger with [Abm] a six-month sentence.

_ [E] all fears, _
_ _ _ [A] bury [B] the [Abm] _ [E] rag deep in your [Dbm] face,
[A] for now's [B] the time [E] for your tears. _ _ _ _ _
