LOVE IS JUST A FOUR-LETTER WORD
by Bob Dylan
Recorded by Joan Baez

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D
Seems like only yesterday
Em
I left my mind behind
D
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
Em
With a friend of a friend of mine
D Am
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
D Am
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
D Am
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
D Am
A phrase in connection first with she
C D
I heard
D7 G
That love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 2]
D
Outside a rambling store-front window
Em
Cats meowed to the break of day
D
Me, I kept my mouth shut, too
Em
To you I had no words to say
D Am
My experience was limited and underfed
D Am
You were talking while I hid
D Am
To the one who was the father of your kid
D Am C D
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
G
You say that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 3]
D
I said goodbye unnoticed
Em
Pushed towards things in my own games
D
Drifting in and out of lifetimes
Em
Unmentionable by name
D Am
Searching for my double, looking for
D Am
Complete evaporation to the core
D Am
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
D Am
I must have thought that there was nothing more
C D G
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 4]
D
Though I never knew just what you meant
Em
When you were speaking to your man
D
I can only think in terms of me
Em
And now I understand
D Am
After waking enough times to think I see
D Am
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
D Am
Blow up in smoke, its destiny
D Am
Falls on strangers, travels free
D Am
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
D Am
And I do not really need to be
C D G
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 5]
D
Strange it is to be beside you
Em
Many years and tables turned
D
You'd probably not believe me
Em
If I told you all I've learned
D Am
And it is very, very weird indeed
D Am
To hear words like forever please
D Am
Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat
D Am
It's like looking in the teacher's face complete
D Am C D
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard
G
