Verse 1
G C
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
G
When it's Easter time too
G
And your gravity fails
C G
And negativity don't pull you through
C
Don't put on any airs
G
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
D
They got some hungry women there
G
And they really make a mess outta you
Verse 2
G
Now if you see Saint Annie
C G
Please tell her "Thanks a lot"
G
I cannot move
C G
My fingers are all in a knot
C
I don't have the strength
G
To get up and take another shot
D
And my best friend, my doctor
G
Won't even say what it is I've got
Verse 3
G
Sweet Melinda
Instrumental
G
She speaks good English

C
And you're so kind
G
And careful not to go to her too soon
D
And she takes your voice
Outro
Verse 4
G
Up on Housing Project Hill
C G
It's either fortune or fame
G
You must pick one or the other
C
Though neither of them are
G
to be what they claim
C
If you're lookin' to get silly
You better go back
G
to from where you came
D
Because the cops don't need you
G
And, man, they expect the same
Verse 5
G
Now all the authorities
C G
They just stand around and boast
G
How they blackmailed the Sergeant- at- Arms
C G
into leaving his post
C
And picking up Angel
G
Who just arrived here from the coast
D
Who looked so fine at first
G
But left lookin' just like a ghost

Verse 6
G
I started out on Burgundy
C G
But soon hit the harder stuff
G C
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
G
When the game got rough
C
But the joke was on me
G
There was nobody even there to bluff
D
I'm going back to New York City
G
I do believe I've had e- nough

Fade out
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues lives on Highway 61 Revisited, the album where Bob Dylan left pure acoustic behind and went out to record with a full band for the first time. Those sessions took place in New York between June and August of 1965, and the result was an album released by Columbia Records that opens with Like a Rolling Stone as a single. With its five minutes and eight seconds, this song has the room to breathe and unfold that characterizes the entire album.
