I wrote this last summer, or some summer, to pass the time working at a Coldstone Creamery.
I might update this as I come up with more lyrics or a better chord pattern.
Lament of the Dylan Completist
Open D tuning:
___D*_A(ii)_G___G'_A11_A11'_Gm_Dvii__Cv_D5-7
d---0---0-----0----0----0----0-----0---7------5---0
A---0---0-----2----0----2----0-----5---9------7---3
F#--0---0-----1----1----1----1-----4---8------6---3
D---4---2-----0----0----2----2-----5---0------0---0
A---5---4-----2----2----0----0-----x---0------0---0
D---0---0-----0----0----x----0-----x---0------0---0
I'll strum a beat or two of open D chord to keep the rhythm between chords, but thats more my personal playing style than anything to do with the song.
D (open)...D*...................................G.........G'.............A(ii).....................D*
Well, I heard his "Greatest Hits" as a boy of twelve, I thought they all were great
D......D*.....................G.........G'........Gm.....................D
I decided I'd get ev'ry album he had, but I didn't know he had forty-eight
D........D*..........................G.........G'.............A(ii).............................D*
Now I got no more room for Deep Purple, there's no space left for The Floyd,
D.......D*..........................G.........G'........A11........A11'................D
And to make room for the live bootleg, my Skynyrd albums were destroyed
Chorus:
Dvii
I don't mean to sound defeatist
Cv
('Cuz I think he's just the sweetest)
D5-7......................................D
But it sucks to be a Dylan completist
