Silvio
Words  by Robert Hunter, Music by Bob Dylan

The chords to this song are G F C.  That's it.  It just repeats itself

e.g

G                    F         C
Stake my future on a hell of a past
G                        F         C
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast
G                       F      C
Ain't complaining about what I got
G                          F       C
I've seen better times but who has not

G      F          C
Silvio silver and gold
      G                      F          C
Won't buy back the beat of a heart gone cold
G        F     C
Silvio I gotta go
   G                       F        C
Go find out something only dead men know


Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
When I come knocking dont throw me no bone
Im an old boll weevil looking for a home
If you dont like it you can leave me alone

I can snap my fingers and require the rain
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
And charm the whistle off an evening train

I give what I got until I got no more
I take what I get until I even the score
You know I love you and furthermore
When its time to go you got an  open door

I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain
You give something up for everything you gain
Since every pleasures got an edge of pain
Pay for your ticket and dont complain

One of these days and it wont be long
Going down in the valley and sing my song
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong

chorus
