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