DIGNITY

Bob Dylan

Intro: 1 * verse instrumental

Thin man lookin' at his last meal

	F	C
	Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfi	eld

	F	C
For dig-ni-ty

Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass

young man lookin' in the shadows that pass

poor man lookin' through painted glass

For dignity

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Searchin' everywhere I know

Askin' the cops wherever I go

Have you seen Dignity?

Organ solo

Blind man breakin' out of a trance

Puts both his hands in the pocket of chance

Hopin' to find one circumstance

Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou

She said " I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you"

Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew

About dignity

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade

House on fire, debts unpaid

Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid

Have you seen dignity

Organ solo

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears

In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors

Lookin' into the lost forgotten years

For Dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues

Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used

He wanted money up front, said he was abused

By dignity

Got no place to fade, got no coat

I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat

Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote

About dignity

Organ solo

Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure

Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were

And into every masterpiece of literature

For dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind

Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin

Bites the bullet and he looks within

For dignity

So many roads, So much at stake

So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take

To find dignity
