1. Stake my future on a hell of a past,

G F C G

looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast.

G F C G

Ain't complaining about what I got,

G F C G

seen better times but who has not.

G F C G G F C G

Silvio, silver and gold won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold.

G F C G G F C G

Silvio, I gotta go, find out something only dead men know !

+ G - F - C - G (2x

G F C G

2. Honest as the next jade rolling that stone,

G F C G

when I come knockin', don't throw me no bone !

G F C G

I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home,

G F C G

if you don't like it you can leave me alone.

G F C G

3. I can snap my fingers and require the rain

G F C G

from a clear blue sky and turn it off again.

G F C G

I can stroke your body and relieve your pain,

G F C G

and charm the whistle off an evening train.

+ CHORUS + G - F - C - G (4x)

G F C G

4. Give what I got until I got no more,

G F C G

I take what I get until I even the score.

G F C G

You know I love you and furthermore,

G F C G

when it is time to go you got an open door.

G F C G

5. I can tell you’re fancy, I can tell you’re plain, come on,

G F C G

you give something up for everything you gain, come on !

G F C G

Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain, come on,

G F C G

pay for your ticket and don't complain !

G F C G G F C G

Silvio, silver and gold won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold.

6. One of these days and it won't be long,

G F C G

going down the valley and sing my song.

G F C G

Gonna sing it loud and sing it strong,

G F C G

let the echo decide if I was right or wrong.

G - F - C - G

+ CHORUS (3x) + Come on ! (2x) ....

(Bob Dylan)
