Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
B E
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
B F# B
The fair fields all alone,
E
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
F# B
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
G#m D#m
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
G#m F#7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
B D#m
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
E B
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
G#m D#m
I humbled my self to her beauty.
E B
"fair maiden where do you belong?
G#m D#m
Are you from heaven descended,
E F#7
G# biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
G#m D#m
"young man i will tell you a secret.
G#m D#m
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
B G#m
And to part from my vows and my promise,
E Em
That's more then my heart can endure."
B G#m
"there fore, I remain at my service,
D#m F#7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
B D#m G#m
And wait for the lad that has left me
E F# B
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
D#m F#
B G#m D#m
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
E B
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
G#m D#m G#m
I came to fulfill our last promise,
C#m F#7
And hope to give you a surprise."
G#m F#
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
G#m D#m F#7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
B D#m G#m
For me there is no other damsel
E F# B
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
