Abandoned Love, Bob Dylan

Abandoned Love, Bob Dylan

F C F

F             C              Dm
I can see the turning of the key
     Gm                                   C
I’ve been deceived by the clown inside of me
  Am                                  Bb
I thought that he was right but he's afraid
    F                  C                      F
But somethin's telling me I wear the ball and chain

   F               C                 Dm
My patron saint is fighting with the ghost
     Gm                                   C
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
    Am                            Bb
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
       F                C             F
But my heart is telling me I love you still

F           C            Dm
Everybody's wearin' a disguise
   Gm                                      C
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
    Am                      Bb
But me I can't cover what I am
    F                 C              F
Wherever the children go I'll follow them

  F              C            Dm
I march in the parade of liberty
       Gm                         C
But as long as I love you I'm not free
    Am                       Bb
How long must I suffer such abuse?
          F               C                       F
Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose?

F C Dm Gm C Am Bb F C F

   F               C              Dm
We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed
  Gm                                    C
I asked you please to cross me off your list
   Am                                Bb
My head tells me it's time to make a change
       F                C                          F
But my heart is telling me "I love you, but you're strange"

   F                C                 Dm
So one more time at midnight near the wall
     Gm                             C
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
          Am                                       Bb
Won't you come down from the throne from where you sit?
       F                       C                      F
Let me feel your love one more time, before I abandon it.

  F                C                     Dm
I come back to the town from the flamin' moon
  Gm                                C
I see you in the street, I began to swoon
  Am                               Bb
I love to see you dress before the mirror
          F                       C                          F
Won't you let me in your room one time before I finally disappear?
