Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
E A
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
E B E
The fair fields all alone,
A
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
B E
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
C#m G#m
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
C#m B7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
E G#m
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
A E
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
C#m G#m
I humbled my self to her beauty.
A E
"fair maiden where do you belong?
C#m G#m
Are you from heaven descended,
A B7
C# biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
C#m G#m
"young man i will tell you a secret.
C#m G#m
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
E C#m
And to part from my vows and my promise,
A Am
That's more then my heart can endure."
E C#m
"there fore, I remain at my service,
G#m B7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
E G#m C#m
And wait for the lad that has left me
A B E
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."
G#m B
E C#m G#m
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
A E
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
C#m G#m C#m
I came to fulfill our last promise,
F#m B7
And hope to give you a surprise."
C#m B
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
C#m G#m B7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
E G#m C#m
For me there is no other damsel
A B E
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
