Intro: G [Verso 1] G C Hey, Bobby Dylan, I wrote you a song; G D It stared out short, but it got a little long. G C Like a miner way downstream, pannin for gold G D C G It takes a while to tell the tale of The Greatest Story Never Told [Verso 2] G C Born Robert Zimmerman, that once was your name; G D You left the mines of Hibbing, to stake out your claim; G C Along the way you decided that Bobby Dylan it would be; G D C G Paint a portrait of the artist as a dog in a jam-bo-ree! [Verso 3] G C You hitched to NY, now boy that was bold; G D You hit the cellars of the stars, and then you broke the mold; G C As the Folk Messiah, you walked on every grain of sand; G D C G But when you fell through the water, you confirmed youre just a man [Refrão] C G But: HEY BOBBY DYLAN (HBD)! Whatd ya do with Zimm? D G Is he all along the watchtower? Or is he blowin in the wind? C G HBD, hows his story end? D C G Wed like to think you two wuz friends [Verso 4] G C Zimmerman was all wrong: wrong parents; wrong name. G D You said: Lets Make A Deal: Hell be Abel; Ill be Cain. G C When your masterpiece is finished, if the prophecy is right, G D C G Youll see The Dealer at the Crossroads, all fiery and bright [Verso 5] G C Hes from Venus, like you he goes against the grain G D Satan, some know him as the Fallen Angel of Pain G C And Lu-Ci-Fer some call him, here we go again with new names; G D C G New masks over new faces, but hell, the times they never change [Verso 6] G C What the devil is the difference, a name is just a name; G D Call you what you want to, a dude becomes a dame; G C Lennon wouldnt believe, in bed he clung to Zi-merr-man: G D C G But some beliefs are to believers, as some scammers are to scams [Refrão] C G But, HBD! Whatd ya do with Zimm? D G Is he with Lucy In The Sky, or at the crossroads with your kin? C G HBD!, hows his story end? D C G Wed like to think you two wuz friends [Verso 7] G C Men are from Mars, right? Thats the sayin; G D They say its cold as hell there, like a frozen stone from heaven; G C Back home in Minnesota the cold can cut you to the core: G D C G But that aint nobodys hell, so whos that knockin on the door?! [Verso 8] G C From Zimmerman to Dylan, your doggy portraits dryin still; G D Ca-ri-ca-ture or just a character, maybe time will till. G C For us clowns still in the circus, all tangled up in blue, G D C G Unmasked, but still anonymous: Zimms still the man we never knew. [Verso 9] G C Hey, Bobby Dylan, I wrote you this song; G D It started out short, but it got a little long; G C Like a miner way downstream, pannin for gold D C G It takes a while to tell the tale of The Greatest Story Never Told [Refrão] C G HEY BOBBY DYLAN (HBD)!
