SONG NAME : It Ain't Me Babe - Band Name: Bob Dylan

Tabbed by: rikidoodle

Tuning: Normal
Note :
If you are not a very experienced player don't be put of by the complex chord names.
They are often just as easy (sometimes easier!) to play than regular chords
Em9/D is simply a C fingering moved up a couple of frets with no 1st finger
bar.
Bmadd11/F# is just Am moved up in a similar fashion.
The damped string in C/G is easily done by holding the finger that is playing the G note
the 6th string at a slight angle, just enough to touch the 5th string and mute it.
Listen to Dylan's version to get a feel for the way the chords are strummed. Bass note
strum the chord a few times sort of thing.

(G) (C/G) (G) (Em9/D) (C) (Em9/D)
Go a-way from my window, leave at your
(G) (C/G) (G) (Em9/D) (C)
own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want babe

(Em9/D) (G) (C/G) (G) (Bmadd11/F#)
I'm not the one you need. You say you're
(Am) (Bmadd11/F#) (Am)
for someone who's never weak but always strong, to
(Bmadd11/F#) (Am) (Bmadd11/F#)
pro-tect you and de-fend you, whether you are right
(Am) (C) (D)
or wrong. Some-one to open each and every door,
(G) (C) (D) (G)
but it ain't me, babe, no no no it ain't me babe,
(C) (D) (G) (Em9/D) (C)
it ain't me you're lookin' for babe. (Harmonica break)
(Go back to the start, ready for next verse.)
Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
