Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
D G
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
D A D
The fair fields all alone,
G
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
A D
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
Bm F#m
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
Bm A7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
D F#m
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
G D
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
Bm F#m
I humbled my self to her beauty.
G D
"fair maiden where do you belong?
Bm F#m
Are you from heaven descended,
G A7
B biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
Bm F#m
"young man i will tell you a secret.
Bm F#m
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
D Bm
And to part from my vows and my promise,
G Gm
That's more then my heart can endure."
D Bm
"there fore, I remain at my service,
F#m A7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
D F#m Bm
And wait for the lad that has left me
G A D
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
F#m A
D Bm F#m
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
G D
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
Bm F#m Bm
I came to fulfill our last promise,
Em A7
And hope to give you a surprise."
Bm A
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
Bm F#m A7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
D F#m Bm
For me there is no other damsel
G A D
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
