Taken from rec.music.dylan and alt.guitar.tab From: Howard Wright Hman (wrightha@CF.AC.UK), Andrew Mullins (mullins@artsci.concordia.ca), and Vegard B. Havdal (vbh@idt.unit.no) Subterranean Homesick Blues Intro : A A Johny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine A I'm on the pavement, thinkin' about the government A The man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off A says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off D7 Look out kid, it's somethin' you did A God knows when, but you're doin' it again A You better duck down the alleyway A Lookin' for a new friend E The man in the coonskin cap in the pig pen A Wants eleven dollar bills; you only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot Talkin' that the heat put plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May, orders from the D.A. Look out kid, don't matter what you did But walk on tiptoes, don't tie no bows Better stay away from those that carry around a firehose Keep a clean nose, watch the plainclothes You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows Oh get sick, get well, hang around the inkwell, Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is gonna sell, Try hard, get barred, get back, write braile, Get jailed, jump bail, join the Army if ya fail Look out Kid, You're going to get hit By losers, cheaters, six time users Hangin' 'round the theatres Girl by the whirlpool's lookin' for a new fool Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters Oh get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed, try to be success, Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift, Twenty years of schoolin' an' they put ya on the day shift Look out kid, they keep it all hid Better jump down the manhole, light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum The pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles.
