Bob Dylan - Self portrait - Belle Isle
this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
C# F#
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
C# G# C#
The fair fields all alone,
F#
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
G# C#
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
A#m Fm
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
A#m G#7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
C# Fm
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
F# C#
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
A#m Fm
I humbled my self to her beauty.
F# C#
"fair maiden where do you belong?
A#m Fm
Are you from heaven descended,
F# G#7
A# biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
A#m Fm
"young man i will tell you a secret.
A#m Fm
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
C# A#m
And to part from my vows and my promise,
F# F#m
That's more then my heart can endure."
C# A#m
"there fore, I remain at my service,
Fm G#7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
C# Fm A#m
And wait for the lad that has left me
F# G# C#
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."

C# A#m Fm
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
F# C#
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
A#m Fm A#m
I came to fulfill our last promise,
D#m G#7
And hope to give you a surprise."
A#m G#
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
A#m Fm G#7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
C# Fm A#m
For me there is no other damsel
F# G# C#
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
