Bob Dylan
[Intro]

[Verse]
       Eb            Ab              Eb                 Ab
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
         Eb              Ab            Bb          Bbsus4  Bb
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
          Eb              Ab    Eb               Ab
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Eb             Ab                Bb     Bbsus4 Bb
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
 
[Bridge]
      Bb            Bb7            Eb             Bb
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
     Bb            Bb7                 Eb               | Bb    Ab |
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
 
[chorus]
       Eb          Ab           Eb               Ab
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
   Eb              Ab           Bb    Bb7sus4 | Eb | % |
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
 
 
[Verse]
        Eb           Ab               Eb             Ab
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
     Eb                   Ab                   Bb         Bbsus4   Bb
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
    Eb             Ab               Eb                Ab
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
   Eb               Ab               Bb     Bbsus4 Bb
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
 
[Bridge]
  Bb            Bb7            Eb             Bb
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
    Bb           Bb7              Eb             | Bb    Ab |
And every time I pass that way, I always hear my name.
 
[Chorus]
     Eb           Ab        Eb           Ab
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
     Eb            Ab            Bb    Bb7sus4  | Eb | % |
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

[Verse]
       Eb                Ab            Eb            Ab
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
       Eb            Ab                     Bb7        Bb7sus4 Bb7
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
       Eb              Ab         Eb          Ab
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
       Eb               Ab           Bb7      Bb7sus4 Bb7
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
 
[Bridge]
  Bb               Bb7                Eb            Bb
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
    Bb                    Bb7                  Eb            | Bb    Ab |
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
 
[Chorus]
     Eb             Ab             Eb         Ab
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
     Eb            Ab            Bb    Bb7sus4 | Eb | % |
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
