DIGNITY  (Bob Dylan)

D                                   G D
Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel,  
                                  D7
thin man lookin' at his last meal
G                               D                G  D
Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield for dignity
                                     G D   
Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass,   
                                          D7 
Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
 G                        D                        G D     
Poor man lookin' through painted glass for dignity


A
  Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
G                                 D
  Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
G                       F#m
  I went into the city, went into the town
Em                                     A  
Went into the land of the midnight sun


D                             G D                            D7
Searchin' high, searchin' low,    searchin' everywhere I know
G                   D                                  G D         
Askin' the cops wherever I go, "Have you seen Dignity?"
                                  G D                                           D7
Blind man breakin' out of a trance,   puts both his hands in the pocket of chance
G                           D              G D  
Hopin' to find one circumstance of dignity


D                                 G D               
I went to the wedding of Mary-lou,    
                                                 D7
she said I don't want nobody see me talkin to you
G                                         D                          G D  
Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew about dignity


A
I went down where the vultures feed
G                                         D
 I would've gone deeper, but there wasn't any need
G                            F#m                   
 Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men,
Em                            A
  Wasn't any difference to me


D                                  G D                          D7
Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade,    house on fire, debts unpaid
G                         D                                    G    D
Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid, "Have you seen dignity?"




D                                         G D 
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears  
                                         D7
in a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
G                                D                G D
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years for dignity
                                           G D  
Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues   
                                                 D7
said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
G                           D                          G D
He wanted money up front, said he was abused by dignity


A
Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand,
 G                     D
steps goin' down into tatoo land
           G                       F#m             
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light,
        Em                    A  
in the bordertowns of despair


D                                 G D        
Got no place to fade, got no coat,    
                                           D7
I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat
G                      D                          G D
Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote about dignity


 D                                     G D            
Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure,    
                                           D7
lookin' at his hands for the lines that were
 G                             D                     G D        
And into every masterpiece of literature for dignity
                                          G D
Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind   
                                          D7
combin his hair back his future looks thin
G                         D                      G D
Bites the bullet and he looks within for dignity


A
 Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed,
G                                 D
  dignity never been photographed
   G                 F#m
I went into the red, went into the black,
         Em                       A
Into the valley of dry bone dreams


 D                              G D 
So many roads, so much at stake,    
                                              D7
so many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
G                    D                                 G D
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignity
