115th Dream (Bob Dylan)

		 G C/G G  
I was riding on the Mayflower  
When I thought I spied some land  
I yelled for Captain Arab  
I have yuh understand  
 C  
Who came running to the deck  
Said, "Boys, forget the whale  
 G  
Look on over yonder  
Cut the engine, change the sail  
 D  
Haul on the bowline"  
We sang that melody  
 G  
Like all tough sailors do  
When they are far away at sea  
 
 G C/G G  
"I think I'll call it America"  
I said as we hit land  
I took a deep breath  
I fell down, I could not stand  
 C  
Captain Arab he started  
Writing up some deeds  
 G  
He said, "Let's set up a fort  
And start buying the place with beads"  
 D  
Just then this cop comes down the street  
Crazy as a loon  
 G  
He throw us all in jail  
For carryin' harpoons  
 
 G C/G G  
Ah me I busted out  
Don't even ask me how  
I went to get some help  
I walked by a Guernsey cow  
 C  
Who directed me down  
To the Bowery slums  
 G  
Where people carried signs around  
Saying, "Ban the bums"  
 D  
I jumped right into line  
Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late"  
 G  
When I realized I hadn't eaten  
For five days straight  
 
 G C/G G  
I went into a restaurant  
Lookin' for the cook  
I told them I was the editor  
Of a famous etiquette book  
 C  
The waiter he was handsome  
He wore a powder blue cape  
 G  
I ordered some suzette, I said  
"Could you please make that crepe"  
 D  
Just then the whole kitchen exploded  
From boilin' fat  
 G  
Food was flying everywhere  
And I left without my hat  
 
 G C/G G  
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy  
But I went into a bank  
To get some bail for Arab  
And all the boys back in the tank  
 C  
They asked me for some collateral  
And I pulled down my pants  
 G  
They threw me in the alley  
When up comes this girl from France  
 D  
Who invited me to her house  
I went, but she had a friend  
 G  
Who knocked me out and robbed my boots  
And I was on the street again  
 
 G C/G G  
Well, I rapped upon a house  
With the U.S. flag upon display  
I said, "Could you help me out  
I got some friends down the way"  
 C  
The man says, "Get out of here  
I'll tear you limb from limb"  
 G  
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"  
He said, "You're not Him  
 D  
Get out of here before I break your bones  
I ain't your pop"  
 G  
I decided to have him arrested  
And I went looking for a cop  
 
 G C/G G  
I ran right outside  
And I hopped inside a cab  
I went out the other door  
This Englishman said, "Fab"  
 C  
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand  
And a chariot that stood  
 G  
Parked across from a building  
Advertising brotherhood  
 D  
I ran right through the front door  
Like a hobo sailor does  
 G  
But it was just a funeral parlor  
And the man asked me who I was  
 
 G C/G G  
I repeated that my friends  
Were all in jail, with a sigh  
He gave me his card  
He said, "Call me if they die"  
 C  
I shook his hand and said goodbye  
Ran out to the street  
 G  
When a bowling ball came down the road  
And knocked me off my feet  
 D  
A pay phone was ringing  
It just about blew my mind  
 G  
When I picked it up and said hello  
This foot came through the line  
 
 G C/G G  
Well,by this time I was fed up  
At tryin' to make a stab  
At bringin' back any help  
For my friends and Captain Arab  
 C  
I decided to nip a coin  
Like either heads or tails  
 G  
Would let me know if I should go  
Back to ship or back to jail  
 D  
So I hocked my sailor suit  
And I got a coin to flip  
 G  
It came up tails it rhymed with sails  
So I made it back to the ship  
 
 G C/G G  
Well, I got back and took  
The parkin' ticket off the mast  
I was ripping it to shreds  
When this coastguard boat went past  
 C  
They asked me my name  
And I said, "Captain Kidd"  
 G  
They believed me but  
They wanted to know  
What exactly that I did  
 D  
I said for the Pope of Eruke  
I was employed  
 G  
They let me go right away  
They were very paranoid  
 
 G C/G G  
Well, the last I heard of Arab  
He was stuck on a whale  
That was married to the deputy  
Sheriff of the jail  
 C  
But the funniest thing was  
When I was leavin' the bay  
 G  
I saw three ships a-sailin'  
They were all heading my way  
 D  
I asked the captain what his name was  
And how come he didn't drive a truck  
 G  
He said his name was Columbus  
I just said, "Good luck."
