Nothing Was Delivered
Bob Dylan and the Band
The Basement Tapes
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
N. C. C
Nothing was delivered
G
And I tell this truth to you,
D
Not out of spite or anger
G C/G G
But simply because it's true.
N. C. C
Now, I hope you won't object to this,
G
Giving back all of what you owe,
D
The fewer words you have to waste on this,
G C/G G
The sooner you can go.
N. C. Em G
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
G D/F# C/E G C D/A G
Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.
[Verse 2]
N. C. C
Nothing was delivered
G
But I can't say I sympathize
D
With what your fate is going to be,
G C/G G
Yes, for telling all those lies.
N. C. C
Now you must provide some answers
G
For what you sold has not been received,
D
And the sooner you come up with them,
G C/G G
The sooner you can leave.
N. C. Em G
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
G D/F# C/E G C D/A G
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
[Verse 3]
[n. c.] C
(Now you know) Nothing was delivered
G
And it's up to you to say
D
Just what you had in mind
G C/G G
When you made ev'rybody pay.
N. C. C
No, nothing was delivered,
G
Yes, 'n' someone must explain
D
That as long as it takes to do this
G C/G G
Then that's how long that you'll remain.
N. C. Em G
Nothing is better, nothing is best,
G D/F# C/E G C D/A G
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
