Dylan by Emmy The Great
Dylan
you'll notice that the majority of this song is written in barre chords.
the transitions between chords (the F#'s and G#'s) between F-G and G-Am make the
song a lot better. this song should be played staccato (mostly).
the C barre and Am barre were bastards to work out from listening to the song.

--intro--
Am x 5
--Verse 1--
Am G
I pray for rain because I'm trying
Am G
To find god and make him cry,
C G
Because I'm dying in a fire beneath my covers.
Am G
And somewhere out across the way,
Am G
You ask for salt across a plate,
C
And you can't find a word to say
G
To your own brother.
--Bridge--
Fmaj7 G
And you could call me over now,
Fmaj7 G
And we could fix this with our mouths,
G
But you don't buy the farm,
Am
If you can't afford the cow.
--Chorus--
Fmaj7
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share,
F# C (barre)
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare,
F (barre)
And you say I am not the one
Who puts the bullet to your gun
Am (barre)
And makes it flare.
Fmaj7 F# G (barre)
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you,
Am (barre)
And you don't want to share.
--Verse 2--
Am G
You say you're looking for the truth,
Am G
Like you got rifles in your books,
C
But up above your parents' roof
G
I saw no star tonight,
Am G
Only the black from whence you came,
Am G
And where they'll send you back again,
C
And no blue plaque will keep your name
G
From falling out of sight.
--Bridge--
Fmaj7 G
And you can wage this war of one,
Fmaj7 G
And I am still the only one
Am
Who will remember you when you are gone.
--Chorus--
C (barre)
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share,
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare,
F (barre)
And you say I am not the one
Who puts the bullet to your gun
Am (barre)
And makes it flare.
Fmaj7 F# G (barre)
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you,
Am (barre)
And you don't want to share.
--Break--
C (barre)
Oh and all the things you talk about
But never say to me,
Am (barre)
And all the things to talk about
That I could say to you,
C (barre)
Like reading an Italian book
From the 13th century,
G (barre)Am (barre)
Is not that hard to do.
F (barre) F# (barre) G (barre)
--Altern. Chorus--
F (barre)
And I am not the kind
F# G (barre)
Who puts their toe against the line
Am (barre)
And makes it tear,
F (barre)
But this could be the thing
G (barre)
That puts the blood into your skin
Am (barre)
And keeps it there.
--Chorus--
F (barre)
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
C (barre)
That no one else will ever understand.
F (barre) G (barre)
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you,
G (barre) Am (barre)
But you are only just a man.
--Outro--
Am (barre) x 5 staccato in quick succession.
