ON THE ROAD AGAIN (Bob Dylan, Bringing it All Back Home, 3/22/1965)
 
(I play almost all (rapid) downstrums; very occasional upstrum. All the A, D, E chords should be completely
pulled off on the 4th beat. Fast tempo; follow the recording.)

Well, I wake up in the morning, there's frogs inside my socks

Honey, how come you have to ask me that?
 
[Verse]
A
Well, I ask for something to eat, I'm hungry as a hog
A
So I get brown rice, seaweed, and a dirty hot dog

I got a hole where my stomach disappeared

Then you ask why I don't live here
D                                   A
