[Gm] [G]
[C] [G]
Hey [C] Bob Dylan, I wrote you [D] songs.
It is your birthday if I'm not [G] wrong if I'm not [C] mistaken you're [G] 50 [D] today
How are you doing Bob?
[G] What do you say?
Well, it must have [C] been about [D] 62
I heard you on record and you were brand [G] new and some had [C] some doubts about the way [G] you sang
[D] But the truth came through [G] and loudly it rang
[C]
Yeah, you were hipper than Mitch Miller [G] and [D] Johnny Mathis [G] put together
So I got [C] some boots a harmonica [G] rack [D] a d21 and I was on [G] the right track
But I didn't start [C] writing until [D] 68.
It was too damn daunting.
You were [G] too great.
[C] I won a whole lot of Bob Dylan imitation [D] contests though
[G] Yeah times were a [C]-changing you brought it [D] all home
Blonde on blonde like a rolling [G] stone the real world is [C] crazy
You [G] were [D] deranged and when you went electric Bob [G] everything changed
[Gm] Shocked at a system
[G] [C] [G]
I had a [C] commission at a [G] motorcycle [D] wreck holed up in Woodstock with a broken [G] neck and
Labels [C] were signing up guys with [D] guitars.
I have to make millions [G] looking for star
Well, [C] I figured it was time to make my [G] move
[D]
Songs from the Westchester County [G] Delta country
Yeah, I got [C] a deal and so did [Em] John Prine [D] Steve Forbert and Springsteen [G] all in a line
They were looking [C] for you signing [G] up others.
[D] We were new Bob Dylan
Here at [G] dumbass kid brothers
[C] Yeah, we still get together every week at Bruce's house.
Well, he's got [Em] quite a [D] spread I'll tell you
It's a 12-step [G] program
Yeah, but we were just [C] us of course [G] you were you [D] and John Wesley Harden sure sounded [G] new and then
[C] Nashville skyline was [D] even newer blood on the tracks and the ring and [G] got true
Let's [C]
see.
There's another one in there somewhere
Blood on oh, I got it.
I got it Self portrait
Well, it was an interesting effort
[Em] [D] [G]
Yeah
Had to stop [C] listening times were too [D] tough me being the new me was hard [G] enough
You keep right on [C] changing like you always [D] do and what's best is the old stuff still [G] all sounds new
Yeah, today's your [C] birthday.
Have [G] a great one [D] Bob being the new you's one hell of [G] a job
My kid cranked up for [C] boombox almost grown
[D] And I heard you screaming from a room
Everybody [A] must get [Gm] stoned.
[G] Thanks a lot, Bob
