Verse 1

Ah, hear this Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you
'Bout a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue
Some words had truthful vengeance that could pin us to the floor
Em F#m G (iii) A (v)
Brought a few more people on and put the fear in a whole lot more

Chorus

G (iii) C G (iii)
Ah, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady from the brow of a superbrain
She'll scratch this world to pieces as she comes on like a friend
G (iii) D
But a couple of songs from your old scrap book could send her home again

Verse 2

(Repeat same chords)

Chorus

G (iii) C G (iii)
Ah, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady from the brow of a superbrain
She'll scratch this world to pieces as she comes on like a friend
G (iii) D
But a couple of songs from your old scrap book could send her home again

Verse 3

Now, hear this Robert Zimmerman though I don't suppose we'll meet
Ask your good friend Dylan if he's a while down the old street
Tell him we lost his poems so we're writing on the walls
Em F#m G (iii) A (v)
Give us back our unity and give us back our family
Em F#m G (iii) A (v)
You're every nation's refugee, don't leave us with our sanity

Chorus

G (iii) C G (iii)
Ah, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady from the brow of a superbrain
She'll scratch this world to pieces as she comes on like a friend
G (iii) D
But a couple of songs from your old scrapbook could send her home again
F G (iii)
A couple of songs from your old scrapbook could send her home again
C G (iii) C
Ah, here she comes, here she comes, ah, here she comes
