Words and music Bob Dylan
Released on Blonde on Blonde(1966)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
The recurring riff here is much more of a harp riff than a guitar riff, but it is
playable on a guitar too, of course.
The harp lick (cross harp, harp key D major) is noted under the guitar tab (all notes are
draw unless noted by a +. ' and " = bend one and two half steps down, respectively).
The first guitar figure in the intro is used for the first measures of the subsequent verses.

If I just didn't feel so all alone
Don't let me down

You know I can if you can, honey
But, honey, please don't
I got my black dog barkin'
Black dog barkin'
Yes it is now

If I just didn't have to try so hard
Your mama's workin'

She's cryin' you know
She's tryin' you know
You better go now
Well, I'd tell you what she wants
But I just don't know how
Fifteen jugglers

All dressed like men
Tell yo' mama not to worry because
They're just my friends

Please come home
Yes, I could make it without you
