Hear this Robert Zimmerman I wrote a song for you
        G                        F#m          Em                   D
'Bout a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue
     F#m                Bm                  A             G
Some words had truthful vengance that could pin us to the floor
Em                  F#m                   G (iii)             A (v)
 Brought a few more people on and put the fear in a whole lot more
   G (iii)                         C               G (iii)
Ah here she comes, here she comes, here she comes again
                                   D
The same old painted lady from the brow of a superbrain
       Em                                  F
She'll scratch this world to pieces as she comes on like a friend
      G (iii)                                        D
But a couple of songs from your old scrap book could send her home again

Hear this Robert Zimmerman though I don't suppose we'll meet
G                    F#m             Em                   D
Ask your good friend Dylan if he's a while down the old street
F#m                  Bm             A              G
Tell him we lost his poems so we're writing on the walls
Em              F#m        G (iii)           A (v)
Give us back our unity and give us back our family
       Em             F#m           G (iii)           A (v)
You're every nation's refugee don't leave us with our sanity
   G (iii)                         C               G (iii)
Ah here she comes, here she comes, here she comes again
                                   D
The same old painted lady from the brow of a superbrain
       Em                                  F
She'll scratch this world to pieces as she comes on like a friend
      G (iii)                                       D
But a couple of songs from your old scrapbook could send her home again

Second verse: You gave your heart to every bedsit room At least a picture on the wall And you sat behind a million pair of eyes And told them how they saw Then we lost your train of thought The paintings are all your own While troubles are rising We'd rather be scared Together than alone

I can’t tell if he’s praising Bob or hating on him
