Chord Where Are You Tonight Journey Through Dark Heat by Bob Dylan

intro | C F | F | C F there’s a long - distance train rolling through the rain , C F tears on the letter i write . C F there’s a woman i long to touch and i’m missing her so much C F but she’s drifting like a satellite . C F there’s a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze , C F laughter down on elizabeth street C F and a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone C F where she bathed in a stream of pure heat . her father would emphasize you got to be more than street - wise but he practiced what he preached from the heart . a full - blooded cherokee , he predicted to me the time and the place that we’d part . G C F there’s a baby in the arms of a woman in a rage G C F and a longtime golden - haired stripper onstage F Em Dm C and she winds back the clock and she turns back the page Dm G of a book that nobody can write . C oh , where are you tonight? the truth was obscure , too profound and too pure , to live it you have to explode . in that last hour of need , we entirely agreed , sacrifice was the code of the road . i left town at dawn , with marcel and st . john , strong men belittled by doubt . i couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were but she had some way of finding them out . he took dead - center aim but he missed just the same , she was waiting , putting flowers on the shelf . she could feel my despair as i climbed up her hair and discovered her invisible self . there’s a lion in the road , there’s a demon escaped , there’s a million dreams gone , there’s a landscape being raped , as her beauty fades and i watch her undrape , i won’t , but then again , maybe i might . oh , if i could just find you tonight . i fought with my twin , that enemy within , ’til both of us fell by the way . horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees while the law looks the other way . your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes , the guy you were lovin’ couldn’t stay clean . it felt outa place , my foot in his face , but he should - a stayed where his money was green . i bit into the root of forbidden fruit with the juice running down my leg . then i dealt with your boss , who’d never known about loss and who always was too proud to beg . there’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room and a pathway that leads up to the stars . if you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise , remind me to show you the scars . there’s a new day at dawn and i’ve finally arrived . if i’m there in the morning , baby , you’ll know i’ve survived . i can’t believe it , i can’t believe i’m alive , but without you it just doesn’t seem right . oh , where are you tonight?
