Aint Talkin

---------------------------------------------------------------------------                 Ain’t Talking (Alternate Version) - Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bob Dylan Recorded in 2006 From: "The Bootleg Series Vol. 08: Tell Tale Signs. Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006 [Disc 2]" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Great alternate version: different key different lyrics. The song was reworked and finished for "Modern Times". The "Modern Times" recording is in Abm and the second chord in the verses (here D7) is indeed a minor chord. The major chord in this early version sounds strange and beautiful. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 1st fret play: Am key: Bbm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | | % | [Verse 1] As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain   Someone hit me from behind Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ Through this weary world of woe Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ No one on earth would ever know [Verse 2] They say prayer has the power to help So pray from the mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell I’m trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh mother things ain’t going well Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ I’ll burn that bridge before you get across Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ There’ll be no mercy for you once you’ve lost [Verse 3]   I’m all worn out by weepin’ My eyes are full of tears and my lips are dry If I ever catch my opponents sleepin’ I’ll slaughter them where they lie Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ Through the world mysterious and vague Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ Walking through the cities of the plague [Verse 4] The whole world is filled with speculation The whole wide world which people say is round I got no time for idle conversation I need to find a doctor in this town Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ All roads leadin to the west Heart burnin’ - still yearnin’ I’m gonna throw myself upon your lovin’ breast [Interlude] | | % | % | % | [Verse 5]         It’s fresh new day of brand and glorious autums The queen of love is coming across the grass [?] they call her anything but Madam No-one flirts with her of even winks a pass [?] Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ Standing outside the gates of wrath Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ Take a little trip down the primrose path [Verse 6] I got the worst old [?] feeling and it’s getting stronger I’m all out with public service I’m beginning to crack I won’t stay up any longer I’ll revenge my father’s death and I’ll step back Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ Hand me down my walking cane Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ Trying to get you out of my miserable brain [Verse 7] As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind Ain’t talkin’ just walkin’ You’re ridin’ high and down you go Heart burnin’ still yearnin’ No one on earth would ever know [Outro] | | % | % | % | | | % | | % | (fade out)
