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 E A
The fair fields all alone,
D
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
E A
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
F#m C#m
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
F#m E7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
A C#m
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
D A
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
F#m C#m
I humbled my self to her beauty.
D A
"fair maiden where do you belong?
F#m C#m
Are you from heaven descended,
D E7
F# biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
F#m C#m
"young man i will tell you a secret.
F#m C#m
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
A F#m
And to part from my vows and my promise,
D Dm
That's more then my heart can endure."
A F#m
"there fore, I remain at my service,
C#m E7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
A C#m F#m
And wait for the lad that has left me
D E A
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
C#m E
A F#m C#m
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
D A
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
F#m C#m F#m
I came to fulfill our last promise,
Bm E7
And hope to give you a surprise."
F#m E
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
F#m C#m E7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
A C#m F#m
For me there is no other damsel
D E A
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
