One of Us Must Know
Words and music by Bob Dylan
(Capo 5th fret)
Intro:
C F C ...
F C F C
I didn't mean to treat you so--- bad
F C G
You shouldn't take it so personal
F C F C
I didn't mean to make you so-- sad
F C G
You just happened to be there, that's all
Am Em
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
F C
I thought that it was well understood
Am Em
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
Dm F G
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good
Chorus:
C G Am Em
But sooner or later, one of us must know
F C G
If you just did what you're supposed to do
C G Am Em
Sooner or later, one of us must know
F C G
That I really did try to get close to you
C F C
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't realize how young you were
Chorus
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm
Chorus
