Walls of Red Wing [outtake] chords by Bob Dylan
Verse 1
D
A
E
A
There once was an Indian maid
D
Ab
who always was afraid
A
That some buckaroo would fly
E
B
Ebm
around the flue as she lay sleepin'
Em
A
In the shade she had an idea grand,
D
she filled it up with sand
To keep the boys from for
A
Em
bidden joys
A
in Redwick's promised land
D
Oh, the sun shines down
A
on pretty Red Wing
Em
as she lay sleepin'
A
This buck come creepin'
D
with his one good eye
A
He was a beepin',
Em
A
he hoped to reach the promised land.
Now he was an Indian wise,
D
A
he reached for Red Wing's thighs
With an old rubber boot on the end of a toot
Em
He made poor Red Wing open up her eyes
A
But when she'd come to life,
she grabbed her Bowie knife
It flashed in the sky as she let it fly
E
A
And shortened his love life.
D
Oh, the moon shines down
A
on pretty Red Wing
Em
A
As she lay snoring, her knife ad oring
D
For no longer do the Braves
A
come whoring
Em
They won't pay the price
E
of the promised land.
A
Oh, girls, if you want to be wives,
put away those knives.
D
A
D
A
Boys like to play for a fling in
the hay.
They don't want to pay
Eb
A
the rest of their lives.
Mind what Mama said,
D
A
if you're lying in your bed.
If you can't evade,
A
don't reach for a blade.
Em
A
Have a hell of a time instead.
D
Oh, the clouds go floating
A
over Red Wing
Em
As she lays snoring
A
where life is boring.
D
Why, she'd even welcome
A
Herman Goring
Em
A
Ab
A
Into the pleasure of her promised land.
