Ain't Talking (Alternate Version) – Bob Dylan
E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||||
Written by: Bob Dylan
Recorded in 2006
From: "The Bootleg Series Vol. 08: Tell Tale Signs. Rare and Unreleased
1989-2006 [Disc 2]"
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Great alternate version: different key, different lyrics.
The song was reworked and finished for "Modern Times".
The "Modern Times" recording is in Abm and the second chord
in the verses (here D7) is indeed a minor chord. The major chord
in this early version sounds strange and beautiful. Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
[Refrão]
Am
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
Am
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
D7
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Am
Someone hit me from behind
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'

[Próxima Parte]
Am
Through this weary world of woe
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
No one on earth would ever know

[Verse 2]
Am
They say prayer has the power to help
Am
So pray from the mother
Am
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
D7
I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others
Am
But oh, mother, things ain't going well
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am D7 Am
I'll burn that bridge before you get across
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost

[Verse 3]
Am
I'm all worn out by weepin'
Am
My eyes are full of tears and my lips are dry
D7
If I ever catch my opponents sleepin'
Am
I'll slaughter them where they lie
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am
[ D7 ] Am
Through the world mysterious and vague
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
Walking through the cities of the plague

[Verse 4]
Am
The whole world is filled with speculation
Am
The whole wide world which people say is round
D7
I got no time for idle conversation
Am
I need to find a doctor in this town
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am
All roads leadin to the west
Am
Heart burnin' – still yearnin'
Em G Am
I’m gonna throw myself upon your lovin’ breast

[Verse 5]
Am
It’s a fresh new day of a brand and a glorious autums
Am
The queen of love is coming across the grass
D7
[?] they call her anything but Madam
Am
No-one flirts with her of even winks a pass [?]
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am D7 Am
Standing outside the gates of wrath
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
Take a little trip down the primrose path

[Verse 6]
Am
I got the worst old [?] feeling and it’s getting stronger
Am
I’m all out with public service, I’m beginning to crack
D7
I won’t stay up any longer
Am
I’ll revenge my father’s death and I’ll step back
Am
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Am
Hand me down my walking cane
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
Trying to get you out of my miserable brain

[Verse 7]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Am
You’re ridin’ high and down you go
Am
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Em G Am
No one on earth would ever know
