FOURTH TIME AROUND (LIVE)
As recorded by Cat Power
(From the 2023 Album CAT POWER SINGS DYLAN: THE 1966 ROYAL ALBERT HALL CONCERT)
[Intro]
E A E A E A
E G#m F#m
E A E A E A
E
[Verse 1]
C#m
When she said
E A E
"Don't waste your words, they're just lies"
A E
I cried she was deaf
A E
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
A E
Then said, "What else you got left?"
G#m
It was then that I got up to leave
F#m
But she said, "Don't forget
E
Everybody must give something back
C#m E A
For something they get"
[Verse 2]
E
I stood there and hummed
A E
I tapped on her drum
A
I asked her, "How come?"
E
She buttoned her boot
A
And straightened her suit
E
Then she said, "Don't be cute"
G#m
So I forced my hands in my pockets
F#m
And felt with my thumbs
E
And gallantly handed her
A E
My very last piece of gum
[Verse 3]
E A E
She threw me outside
A E
I stood in the dirt where everyone walked
A E
But when finding out I'd forgotten my shirt
A E
I went back and knocked
G#m
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it
F#m
And I tried to make sense
E
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
E
That leaned up against
[Verse 4]
A E
Her Jamaican rum
A E A E
And when she did come, I asked her for some
A E
She said, "No, dear"
A
I said, "Your words are not clear
E
You'd better spit out your gum"
G#m
She screamed 'til her face got so red
F#m
Then she fell on the floor
E
I covered her up and then went a looked through her drawer
[Verse 5]
A E
And when I was through
A E
I filled up my shoe
A E A
And brought it to you
E
And you, you took me in
A E
You loved me then
A
You did not waste time
E
And I, I never took much
E
I never asked for your crutch
A E
Now don't ask for mine
[Outro]
