Farewell Angelina
By Bob Dylan


Farewell Angelina
8    8   -7-7-7-6
The bells of the crown
5    -5   -6 -6   -7
Are being stolen by bandits					
-7  -7-7   -7-6  -6  -5 5
I must follow the sound
5  5    -5-6   7   -7
The triangle tingles
8    8-7 -7*  -7 -6
And the trumpet play slow
5    5  -5 -6    -6   7
Farewell Angelina
-6  -6   -5-5-5 5
The sky is on fire
-6   -6 -5 -5  5
And I must go.
-5  5  -5  -6

There's no need for anger
8       8  -7   -7  -7-6
There's no need for blame
5       -5  -6   -6  -7
There's nothing to prove
-7       -7 -6  -6  -5 
Ev'rything's still the same
5   5   -5    -6    7   -6
Just a table standing empty
8    8  8 -7  -7  -7  7  -6
By the edge of the sea
5   5   -5  -6  -6  7
Farewell Angelina
-6-6  -6  -5-5-5 5
The sky  is trembling
-6  -6-5 -5  -5   5
And I  must leave.
-5  -6  7    -6

The jacks and queens
Have forsaked the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you in a while.

See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
And they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast.

King Kong, little elves
On the rooftoops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone.

The machine guns are roaring
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina
The sky is erupting
I must go where it's quiet.

Joan Baez’s version:

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
