Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
F A#
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
F C F
The fair fields all alone,
A#
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
C F
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
Dm Am
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
Dm C7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
F Am
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
A# F
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
Dm Am
I humbled my self to her beauty.
A# F
"fair maiden where do you belong?
Dm Am
Are you from heaven descended,
A# C7
D biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
Dm Am
"young man i will tell you a secret.
Dm Am
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
F Dm
And to part from my vows and my promise,
A# A#m
That's more then my heart can endure."
F Dm
"there fore, I remain at my service,
Am C7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
F Am Dm
And wait for the lad that has left me
A# C F
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
Am C
F Dm Am
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
A# F
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
Dm Am Dm
I came to fulfill our last promise,
Gm C7
And hope to give you a surprise."
Dm C
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
Dm Am C7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
F Am Dm
For me there is no other damsel
A# C F
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
