Em                   G
Hey Mr. Guitar man could you start strummin
         Am                     C            Em
Can you tell what song this is by what I'm hummin
     Em                               G
The tune purred from her throat and I was reminded
    Am                    C             G
I recognized parts but I just couldn't find it
Chorus:
                     C                      G
She said "there's a pretty old pretty folk song ima missin"
      C                   G
She felt it mighta been written by Dylan
  Em                      D
Well if you're ready and able to listen
      Am      C         G      Am      C         Em
Then baby oh baby I'm willin, baby oh baby I'm willin
  Em                            G
At first I thought she wanted "don't think twice"
          Am                 C           Em
She said that wasn't it, but it sounded nice
   Em                        G
I tried "sad-eyed lady" and even "blue moon"
           Am                              C          G
When she smiled and shrugged and uttered "sorry wrong tune"
Chorus
  Em                         D
Perhaps she had erred so I tried "catch the wind"
        Em                  C
When at me she glared just like I had sinned
   Em                           D
I did "John Wesley Harding" no that ain't it
          Am           C      D
Fact I'm sure it was never a hit
   Em                        G
I tried and I tried it was really a job
          Am                          C       Em
I played each song and more that I'd heard by Bob
        Em                    G
When I ran out I played on I wrote 'bout the sun
         Am          C                G
When she lit up and said "that's the one!"
Chorus
