Trad., arranged by Bob Dylan
Released on World Gone Wrong (1993)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Capo 2nd fret (Original key D major)
Chords:
C x32010
Csus4 x33010
C+ x32110
Cmaj7 xx5500 (that's what he seems to be playing anyway.
Otherwise it is usually played x32000)
The last line in every verse is given special treatment every time. Sometimes he plays C F G C using only the strings 2, 3 and 4. Other times he goes straight to an F after the Cmaj7. It's all mainly a flourish anyway, so... And the riff that follows is just as variable. This is basically what he plays:
Riff 1:
C G C | . . . | . . |-0-1-3---1---0----------------- |-1-(0)-----------1---0---1----- |-0-------------------0---0----- |-2-------------------0---2----- |-3-----------------------3----- |-------------------------------
C | C |
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Strange things have happened like never before
My baby told me I would have to go
C+ F * F
I can't be good no more, once like I did before
G
I can't be good, baby
Cmaj7 C F G C
Honey, because the world gone wrong.
[Riff 1]
Feel bad this morning, ain't got no home
No use in worrying cause the world gone wrong
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong.
I told you baby, right to your head
If I didn't leave you, I would have to kill you dead
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby
Honey, cause the world gone wrong.
I tried to be lovin', and treat you kind
But it seem like you never right, you got no loyal mind
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby
Honey, cause the world's gone wrong.
If you had a woman and she don't treat you kind
Praise the Good Lord to get her out of your mind
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong.
Said, when you been good now, can't do no more
Just tell her kindly, pThere is the front doorp
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.
Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat
No use to ask me baby, cause I'll never be back
I can't be good no more, once, like I did before
I can't be good baby.
Honey, because the world gone wrong.
