[Verse 1]
C F
At the age of nineteen, I was young, I was keen,
C G
and I had just one burning ambition :
C F
to be a folksinger, a dope-smoking swinger,
C G C
sing songs that were steeped in tradition.
F C
So I bought a guitar and I practiced real hard,
F G
I wasn't much good, but I was willin',
C F
till to my chagrin, my girlfriend came in,
C G C
and she said: "Can you sing any Dylan?"
[Chorus]
C F
I said "No! No! A thousand times no!
C G
I'd rather see my lifeblood spillin'.
C F
I'd sing anything, even 'God Save The King',
C G C
but I just won't sing any Bob Dylan."
[Verse 2]
C F

C G
trying to get recognition.
C F
I sang 'The Wild Rover' from Dundee to Dover,
C G C

F C

my pace, it really was killin'.

And everywhere I went from Guaya to Gwent,
C G C
they would say: "Can you sing any Dylan?"
[Chorus]
C F
I said "No! No! A thousand times no!
C G
I'd rather see my lifeblood spillin'.
C F
I'd sing anything, even 'God Save The King',
C G C
but I just won't sing any Bob Dylan."
[Verse 3]
C F
Well, I struggled on, but the magic was gone,
C G
I only had a deep sense of failure.
C F
I thought then I'd go to where all failures go,
C G C
so I boarded a ship for Australia.
F C
When I landed at Sydney the sun it shone down,
F G
'twas a view that was lovely and thrillin',
