The E chords might also be played as E7.
The chords in square brackets indicate prominent e-piano licks.
Leave them out when playing alone or use them with a second player.
The bass mostly plays an e on the word "Lord" in the turnaround section.
I wouldn't reflect this in the gutar accompaniment, though.

Am Dm Am
Am
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Dm Am
Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions
Am
Are they lost or are they found
Am
Have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
Dm Am
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?
F Dm Am
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Am
I had a woman down in Alabama
Dm Am
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
Am
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out
Dm Am
You could die down here, be just another accident statistic."
F Dm Am
And there's a slow, slow train comin', comin’ round the bend
Am
All that foreign oil controlling American soil
Dm Am
Lookin’ round you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed
Am
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Dm Am
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
F Dm Am
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Am Dm Am
Am Dm Am
F Dm Am
Am
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated
Dm Am
They don't apply no more, you can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
Am
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Dm Am
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
F Dm Am
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Am
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
Dm Am
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
Am
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
Dm Am
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
F Dm Am
And there's a slow, there’s a slow train comin' up around the bend
Am
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Dm Am
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
Am
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
Dm Am
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to live it
F Dm Am
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Am
Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
Dm Am
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it
Am
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
Dm Am
But it sure does bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
F Dm Am
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

5. Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The song follows a blues pattern. As far as I can tell, the guitars do not
play the 3rd, so strictly speaking the chords are A5, D5 and E5 (see tab).
I put the basic chords with the lyrics for novice players. These chords,
however, aren’t really played, the accompaniment is mostly riff (see tab).
Only here and there, there's an organ playing the actual chords and from
the organ one can tell that all the chords are actually major chords and
can be played as A7, D7 and E7. Playing the riff and singing at the same
time is more of an intermediate job.
