Bob Dylan – Almost Done (Parts 1 & 2)

Bob Dylan – Almost Done II

LYRICS

Take 1 

I stood by
           G#m
I stood by you
         C#m
Stood by her
              F#m
Oh don't be untrue
             E
It's already there
               A
for to see the one
           F#m
oh now she rode
             E
She's almost done

Almost done
Almost done
Palestine glow [girl]
You're the one
[Oh not I know]
It might not do
It's already done
for light and blue

Almost done
almost done
but I don't stand missed
but you're the one
oh you're the child
I'm a-trustin' you
to trust me down
just trust me too

Take -2 

All the night
fortune don't last
Gonna be lucky,
more than in the past
It's already there,
Already new
Oh, trust in me,
I'll trust in you

So goodbye
[sob me the pros] :-) [or: "save me the prose"?]
goodbye baby
would you hold me close
hold me close
or say goodbye
[moon up by night]
in [the empty] the sky

Almost Done is one of the most tantalising of Dylan half-written songs, first because it has two titles (one of which seems irrelevant) and second because the normally 1000 per cent reliable Dylan Chords website has lyrics which don’t seem to relate to the copy of the song that I have found online.

But never fear – I’ve got it worked out, and of course it was me that was going around in circles, no one else.

Just to add a little to the confusion Heylin reports that before the May 1984 tour gigs, journalists were given a set list for the tour which included “Angel of Rain”.
