Written by Bob Dylan
F The guilty undertaker sighs, Am The lonesome organ grinder cries, Dm C The silver saxophones say I should refuse you. Bb The cracked bells and washed-out horns C Blow into my face with scorn, Dm But it's not that way, C I wasn't born to lose you. F Am I want you, I want you, Dm C I want you so bad, F Honey, I want you. F The drunken politician leaps Am Upon the street where mothers weep Dm And the saviors who are fast asleep, C They wait for you. Bb And I wait for them to interrupt C Me drinkin' from that broken cup Dm And ask me to C Open up the gate for you. F Am I want you, I want you, Dm C I want you so bad, F Honey, I want you. Am Now all my fathers, they've gone down, Dm True love they've been without it. Am But all their daughters put me down Bb C 'Cause I don't think about it. F Well, I return to the Queen of Spades Am And talk with my chambermaid. Dm She knows that I'm not afraid C To look at her Bb She is good to me C And there's nothing she doesn't see. Dm She knows where I'd like to be C But it doesn't matter. F Am I want you, I want you, Dm C I want you so bad F Honey, I want you. F Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit, Am He spoke to me, I took his flute. Dm No, I wasn't very cute to him, C Was I? Bb But I did it, though, because he lied C Because he took you for a ride Dm And because tine was on his side C And because I... F Am I want you, I want you, Dm C I want you so bad F Honey, I want you.
