Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
A# D#
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
A# F A#
The fair fields all alone,
D#
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
F A#
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
Gm Dm
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
Gm F7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
A# Dm
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
D# A#
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
Gm Dm
I humbled my self to her beauty.
D# A#
"fair maiden where do you belong?
Gm Dm
Are you from heaven descended,
D# F7
G biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
Gm Dm
"young man i will tell you a secret.
Gm Dm
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
A# Gm
And to part from my vows and my promise,
D# D#m
That's more then my heart can endure."
A# Gm
"there fore, I remain at my service,
Dm F7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
A# Dm Gm
And wait for the lad that has left me
D# F A#
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
Dm F
A# Gm Dm
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
D# A#
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
Gm Dm Gm
I came to fulfill our last promise,
Cm F7
And hope to give you a surprise."
Gm F
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
Gm Dm F7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
A# Dm Gm
For me there is no other damsel
D# F A#
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
