Highlighted Show chord diagrams
A simple, quirky, bluesy song from the Basement tapes recorded with the band, this song usually overlooked. But I love the non-sensical storyline just enough to write out the chords. Song: Clothes Line Saga Album: The Basement Tapes (With the Band) Tabbed by A Rolling Stone blondeonblondefan@hotmail.com Verse 1- E After a while we took in the clothes, E7 Nobody said very much. E Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants E7 Which nobody really wanted to touch. A7 Mama come in and picked up a book An' Papa asked her what it was. E Someone else asked, "What do you care?" E7 Papa said, "Well, just because." B7 Then they started to take back their clothes, Hang 'em on the line. E It was January the thirtieth E7 And everybody was feelin' fine.

The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed, Mama, of course, she said, "Hi!" "Have you heard the news?" he said, with a grin, "The Vice-President's gone mad!" "Where?" "Downtown." "When?" "Last night." "Hmm, say, that's too bad!" "Well, there's nothin' we can do about it," said the neighbor, "It's just somethin' we're gonna have to forget."

I said, "Some of 'em, not all of 'em." He said, "Ya always help out around here with the chores?" I said, "Sometime, not all the time." Then my neighbor, he blew his nose Just as papa yelled outside, "Mama wants you t' come back in the house and bring them clothes." Well, I just do what I'm told, So, I did it, of course. I went back in the house and Mama met me And then I shut all the doors Chords Used: E - 022100 E7 - 022130 A7 - x02223 B7 - x21201  |
