Across the Great Divide Chords by The Band

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ Standing [A] by your [Bb] window, _ _
Leaving [F] a [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ pistol in [Bb] your hand,
_ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
And I beg you, dear [Bb] Molly, _ girl,
_ _ [C] _ Try and understand your man,
There's [F] a camp across the great [G] divide,
_ [Bb] Just grab your hat, [Dm] and take that [F] ride,
Give yourself [G] a ride,
_ [Bb] And bring your children [Dm] down [F] to the riverside.
I had a thought [Bb] in my younger days,
_ [F] I dearly wrote [Bb] my will,
But [F] _ I changed [Bb] my mind for the [C] better,
I never still had my fill,
[D] And I bid [F] adieu, across the great [G] divide,
_ [Bb] Just grab your hat, [Dm] and take [F] that ride,
Give yourself [G] a ride,
_ [Bb] And bring your children [Dm] down to the [F] riverside.
In the old [Bb] machine at a police [F] station,
I nearly took [Bb] the bus,
_ _ [F] _ [A] I had to keep [Gm] my hands [Bb] to myself,
[C] Yes, it's a must, but who can [F] you trust?
_ I was blue [Bb] and shining down from the sky,
[F] [Am] A weary sight [Bb] for all,
_ [F] So don't leave me [Bb] one horse down,
[C] _ Hat has gone through the fall,
Now I'm [F] gonna come up,
And see the great [G] divide.

[G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ Molly dear, [Bb] don't you shed a tear,
No, [F] no, your time [Bb] will surely come,
[F] We'll feed your men, [Bb] chicken and _ [C] prisoners,
Now tell me, hun, what you've done,
What you've forgone, [F] _ across the great [G] divide,
_ [Bb] Just grab your hat, [Dm] and take [F] that ride,
_ Give yourself [G] a ride,
_ [Bb] And bring your children [Dm] down [F] to the riverside. _ _ _
[G] _ _ This is [Bb] not the end. _ _ _
