Positively 4th Street- Bob Dylan
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bob Dylan
Positively 4th Street (1965)
(Dylan)
Non-album single
Now on: "Side Tracks" and several Greatest Hits compilations
The bass sometimes plays notes other that the root. I indicated these
chords as slash chords here. It is of course possible to play them
as regular chords and just leave out the note after the slash.
The original recording is in . The live versions I know are mostly in
, though (easy to play and sounding great; maybe the guitar is tuned down
one semi-tome on the original version?). To play , one would have to
transpose this tab up 3 steps and leave off the capo. Enjoy!
capo: 2nd fret

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You have no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
