Roger McGuinn Up To Me written by Bob Dylan
E A
Every thing went from bad to worse money never changed a thing
E A
Death kept following trackin us down at least I heard your bluebird
sing
Gm E A
Now somebody`s got to show their hand time is but an enemy
A E B Cm E A E A E A *
I know you`re long gone I guess it must be up to me
E
If I`d thought about it I never would have done it
A
I guess I would a let it slide
E
If I`d a pay attention to what others were thinking
A
This heart inside of me would have died
Gm E
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed
A
By enforced insanity
A E B Cm E A E A E A
*
Someone had to reach for the risin star I guess it was up to me
E A
Well the Union Central is pullin out and the orchids are in bloom
E A
I`ve only got me one good shirt left and it smells like stale perfume
Gm E A
In fourteen months I`ve only smiled once I didn`t do it consciously
E B Cm E A E A E
A
Somebody`s got to find your trail and I guess it had to be up to me
E A
It was like a revelation when you betrayed me with your touch
E A
I`d had just about convinced myself that nothing had changed that
much
Gm E A
The old rounder in the iron mask he slipped me the master key
E B Cm E A E A E A *
Somebody had to unlock your heart he said it was up to me
E A
Well I watched you slowly disappear down into the officer`s club
E A
I would have followed you in the door but I didn`t have a ticket stub
Gm E
So I waited all night long till the break of day hoping one of us
would get
A
free
E B Cm E A E A E A *
When the dawn came over the river bridge I knew it was up to me
E A
Well the only decent thing I did was when I worked as a postal clerk
E A
Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I use
to
Gm E A
work I was a fool not to try to protect your idenity
E B Cm E
You looked a little burned out my friend
A E A E A *
I thought it might be up to me
E A
When I met somebody face to face I had to remove my hat
E A
She`s everything I need and love but I can`t be swayed by that
Gm E A
It frightens me the awful truth how sweet life can be
E B Cm E A E A E A *
But she ain`t a gonna make a move I guess it must be up to me
E A
We heard the sermon on the mount and I knew it was too complex
E A
It didn`t amount to anything more than what a broken glass reflects
Gm, E A
When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty
E B Cm E A E A E A *
Somebody`s got to tell the tale I guess it must be up to me
E A
Well Dupree came a pimping tonight to the Thunderbird Cafe
E A
Crystal wanted to talk to him I had to look the other way
Gm E A
Now I just can`t rest without your love I need your company
E B Cm E A E A E A
But you ain`t a gonna cross the line I guess it must be up to me
E A
There`s a note left in the bottle you can give it to Estelle
E A
She`s the one you`ve been wondering about there`s really nothin much
to
tell
Gm E A
We both heard voices for awhile now the rest is history
E B Cm E A E A E A *
Somebody`s got to cry some tears I guess it must be up to me
E A
So go on boys and play your hands life is but a pantomine
E A
The ringleaders from the county seat say you don`t have all that much
time
Gm E A
And the girl with me behind the shades she ain`t my property
E B Cm E A E A E A
One of us has got to hit the road I guess it must be up to me
E A
And if we never meet again baby remember me
E A
How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old time melody
Gm E A
And the rickenbacker around my leg I played it for you for free
E B Cm E A E A E A E
No one else could play that tune you know it was up to me
