Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking

---------------------------------------------------------------------------           Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking - Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bob Dylan From: “Slow Train Coming” (1979) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard The song follows a blues pattern.  As far as I can tell the guitars do not play the 3rd so strictly speaking the chords are and (see tab). I put the basic chords with the lyrics for novice players. These chords however aren’t really played the accompaniment is mostly riff (see tab). Only here and there there’s an organ playing the actual chords and from the organ one can tell that all the chords are actually major chords and time is more of an intermediate job.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1] Change my way of thinking Make myself a different set of rules Gonna change my way of thinking Make myself a different set of rules Gonna put my good foot forward And stop being influenced by fools [Verse 2] So much oppression Can’t keep track of it no more   So much oppression Can’t keep track of it no more   Sons becoming husbands to their mothers Old men turning their young daughters into whores [Verse 2] Stripes on your shoulders Stripes on your back and on your hands Stripes on your shoulders Stripes on your back and on your hands Swords piercing your side Blood and water flowing through the land [Verse 2] Well don’t know which one is worse Doing your own thing or just being cool Don’t know which one is worse Doing your own thing or just being cool You remember only about the brass ring You forget all about the golden rule [Verse 3] You can mislead a man You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes You can mislead a man You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes But there’s only one authority And that’s the authority on high [Solo] | | % | % | % | | | % | | % | | | | | % | [Verse 4] I got a God-fearing woman One I can easily afford I got a God-fearing woman One I can easily afford She can do the Georgia crawl She can walk in the spirit of the Lord [Verse 5] Jesus said “Be ready For you know not the hour in which I come” Jesus said “Be ready For you know not the hour in which I come” He said “He who’s not for Me is against Me” Just so you know where He’s coming from [Solo] | | % | % | % | | | % | | % | | | | | % |  [Verse 6] There’s a kingdom called Heaven A place where there is no pain of birth There’s a place they called Heaven A place where there is no pain of birth Well the Lord created it mister About the same time He made the earth [Outro] | | % | % | % | | | % | | % | | | | | % | | | % | % | % | | | % | | % | | | | | % | (fade

ALTERNATE VERSION                                               Change my way of thinking make myself a different set of rules Change my way of thinking make myself a different set of rules Put my best foot forward stop being influenced by fools I’m sittin’ at the welcome table I’m so hungry I could eat a horse I’m sittin’ at the welcome table I’m so hungry I could eat a horse I’m gonna revitalize my thinking I’m gonna let the law take its course Jesus is calling He’s coming back to gather up his jewels Jesus is calling He’s coming back to gather up his jewels We living by the golden rule whoever got the gold rules The sun is shining ain’t but one train on this track The sun is shining ain’t but one train on this track I’m stepping out of the dark woods I’m jumping on the monkey’s back I’m all dressed up I’m going to the county dance I’m all dressed up I’m going to the county dance Every day you got to pray for guidance Every day you got to give yourself a chance Storms are on the ocean storms out on the mountain too Storms are on the ocean storms out on the mountain too Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you I’ll tell you something things you never had you’ll never miss I’ll tell you something things you never had you’ll never miss brave man will kill you with sword coward with kiss
