If I Don't Be There By Morning
________________________________________
writtten by Bob Dylan and Helena Springs

Intro: B E B E B E B a few times (barre your index finger at the 7th fret: shortest way)

Verse:
B E B E B E ----> same pattern as intro
Blue sky upon the horizon,
B E B E B E
Private eye is on my trail,
A D A D etc. ----> same playing but on the 5th fret and not so many changings
And if I don't be there by morning
B E B E B E B E
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

Verse:
I got a woman livin' in L.A.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if I don't be there by morning,
She'll know that I must have gone the other way.

Bridge:
F#m B
Finding my way back to you girl,
E
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
F#m B
Sometimes I think of you girl,
C C# F#
Is it true that you think of me too?

Solo over verse chord pattern

Bridge:
Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue, mistreated too.
Sometimes I think of you girl,
Is it true that you think of me too?

Verse:
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, hope she's waiting for me still.
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.

Key solo over verse chord pattern

If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.
I never will
I never will
I never will
I never will

applause and "Thankyou!"
