Jokerman Chords by Bob Dylan

_ _ Standing on the water, casting your bread, [Bb] while the eyes of the idol [F] with the iron head [Bb] are glowing.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Distant ships sailing in through the mist, you were born with a snake in both of your [F] fists, while a hurricane [Bb] was blowing. _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ Freedom's [F] just around the [Bb] corner from _ _ you, _ _ but with [Cm] truth so far on, [F]
what good will it [Bb] do?
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [F] Joker man, dance through [Eb] the night and get you [Bb] put [F] behind [Eb] by the light.
_ _ _ [Dm] Oh, _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] Joker man, _ _ so _ _ swiftly the sun sets in the sky, [Eb] you rise up [F] and say goodbye to [Bb] no one. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, [Eb] both of their futures [F] so full of dread, you [Bb] don't show one. _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Shedding off [F] one more layer [Bb] of skin, _ _ _ _ keeping [Cm] one step ahead [F] for the _ [Bb] persecutor within. _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] Joker man, dance [Eb] through the night and get you [Bb] put [F] behind [Gm] by the [Eb] love of the moon.
[Dm] Oh, _ _ _
[Eb] _ [G] Joker _ [Bb] _ man, _ _ _ _ you're a man of mountains, you can walk on clouds, [Eb] manipulate the crowds, [F] you're a dream [Bb] twister. _ _ _
_ _ _ You're gonna sigh down in your room, but whether you care, [Eb] ain't nobody there [F] would want to marry [Bb] your sister. _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] A friend to the martyr, [F] a friend to the woman [Bb] of shame, _ _ _ _ you [Cm] look into the fiery furnace, [F] see the rich man [Bb] without any _ [Eb] name.
_ _ _ [F] Joker man, [Eb] dance through the night and get [Bb] you put [F] _
[Gm] behind by [Eb] the love [Dm] of the moon.
Oh, _ _
[Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bb] Joker man.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ book of love, etiquette, and duty ran amidst [Eb] the laws of the jungle [G] and the sea, are you [Bb] only teacher? _ _
_ _ _ In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white sea, [Eb] _ _ Michelangelo [F] indeed could have carved [Bb] out your future. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Resting in the fields far from the [Bb] turbulent _ space, _ _ _ [Cm] have a sleep near the stars with a small dog [Bb] licking your _ face.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] Joker man, [Eb] dance through the night and get [Bb] you [F] put [Eb] behind by the love of the moon.
[Dm] Oh, _ _
[Eb] _ [G] Joker _ [Bb] _ _ man.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ When a ramblin' man's stalkin' in the sick and the lame, preacher man seeks the [F] same, who'll get there first [Bb] is uncertain. _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] Knife sticks and water cannons, tear gas, pedal [Eb] lights, molotov cocktails, [F] and rocks behind [Bb] every curtain. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] False hearted judges [F] dying in the webs [Bb] that they spin, _
_ _ _ [Cm] only a matter of time [F] till night comes [Bb] steppin' _ in.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] Joker man, dance [Eb] through the night and get you [Bb] put [F] behind [Gm] by the [Eb] love of the moon.
[Dm] Oh, _ _
[Eb] _ Joker _ [Bb] _ man. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ It's [Bb] a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray, [Eb] a woman just gave birth to [F] a prince today, and that's Prince [Bb] _ Scarlet. _
_ _ He'll put the priest in his pocket and put the blade to the heat, [Gm] take the motherless children off [F] the street and place [Bb] them at the feet of a harlot.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, Joker man, you know what he [Bb] _ wants. _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, Joker man, [F] you don't show [Bb] any _ _ response.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] Joker man, dance [Eb] through the night and get you [Bb] put [Am] behind by [Eb] _ the love of the moon.
[Dm] Oh, _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] Joker man. _
