Db Playing to the big crowds Playing to the cheap seats Ab Another day in your life until your journey's end Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John Sailing through the tradewinds Db Bound for the sun Ab Rags on your back just like any other slave Db They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth Ab Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/bob-dylan/333084.html ] Db I heard the news today, oh boy Ab They hauled your ship up on the shore Now the city's gone dark Db There is no more joy Ab They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John Db Put on your bags and get 'em packed. Ab Leave right now you won't be far from hine Db The sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back Ab You've been cooped up on an island far too long Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John Db Slow down you're moving too fast Ab Come together right now over me Your bones are weary Db You're about to breathe your last Ab Lord, you know how hard that it can be Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John Db Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow Ab Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam Ab They'll trap you in an ambush before you know Db Too late now to sail back home Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John Db Tyger, Tyger burning bright Ab Db I pray the lord my soul to keep In the forest of the night Ab Cover him over and let him sleep Db Eb Db Ab Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John.
