Trad., arranged by Bob Dylan
Released on World Gone Wrong (1993)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Capo 2nd fret (Original key D major)
Chords:
C x32010 Csus4 x33010 Dm7-5 xx011x (Could also be called C+ or E+) Cmaj7 xx5500
The last line in every verse is given special treatment every time. Sometimes he plays C F G C using only the strings 2, 3 and 4. Other times he goes straight to an F after the Cmaj7. It's all mainly a flourish anyway, so... And the riff that follows is just as variable. This is in principle what he plays:
Riff 1:
C G C : . . . . . : |-0-1-3-1-----------------|------- |-0---3-----4---1---0-----|-1----- |-------------------0-----|-0----- |-------------------0-----|-2----- |-------------------------|-3----- |-------------------------|-------
In practice, it can take this form:
C F Gsus4 C : . . . : . : . |-0-1-3-1------------0-----|------ |-0---3-0-r-4---h1---0---1-|------ |---------0---0-h2---0-0-0-|------ |-------------0-h3-----3-2-|------ |--------------------------|-3---- |------------------1-------|------
The turn at ‘I can’t be good no more’ goes like this:
C Dm7-5 F : . . . : . |-----------------|--------- |----(1)--1---0---|-1------- |----(0)--1-------|-2------- |----(2)--0-------|-3------- |----(3)----------|--------- |-----------------|---------
It is also sometimes played where there is a * in the tab.
C | C | Csus4 C Csus4 C Strange things have happened like never before My baby told me I would have to go Dm7-5 F * F I can't be good no more, once like I did before * G I can't be good, baby Cmaj7 C F G C Honey, because the world gone wrong. [Riff 1]
Feel bad this morning, ain't got no home No use in worrying cause the world gone wrong I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, because the world gone wrong.
I told you baby, right to your head If I didn't leave you, I would have to kill you dead I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, cause the world gone wrong.
I tried to be lovin', and treat you kind But it seem like you never right, you got no loyal mind I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, cause the world's gone wrong.
If you had a woman and she don't treat you kind Praise the Good Lord to get her out of your mind I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, because the world gone wrong.
Said, when you been good now, can't do no more Just tell her kindly, "There is the front door" I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby Honey, because the world's gone wrong.
Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat No use to ask me baby, cause I'll never be back I can't be good no more, once, like I did before I can't be good baby. Honey, because the world gone wrong.
