Einer für die Nacht...

Für Tobias, meinen im besten Sinne "verrückten" Kollegen und für Euch zur Nacht ein Beispiel mehr dafür, dass es Originale gibt, die nie von Kopien übertroffen werden.

Bob Dylans "It´s all over now" wurde zigfach gecovert. Hier das Original aus dem Jahr 1965. Das Foto zeigt ihn zusammen mit Joan Baez, die viele seiner Lieder nachspielte und ihn gelegentlich dabei auch parodierte. Hier für die Gitarristen unter Euch die Akkorde und der Text. Der nächste Sommer kommt, das nächste Lagerfeuer auch....

G7                                          F          C
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
       G7                         F      C
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Dm                 F               C
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Dm            F           C
Crying like a fire in the sun.
E                       F      G7
Look out the saints are comin' through
   Dm            F         C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
