F F
The guilty undertaker sighs,
Am Am
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
Dm Dm C C
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
Bb Bb
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
C C
Blow into my face with scorn,
Dm Dm
But it's not that way,
C C
I wasn't born to lose you.
F F Am Am
I want you, I want you,
Dm Dm C C
I want you so bad,
F F
Honey, I want you.

F F
The drunken politician leaps
Am Am
Upon the street where mothers weep
Dm Dm
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
C C
They wait for you.
Bb Bb
And I wait for them to interrupt
C C
Me drinkin' from that broken cup
Dm Dm
And ask me to
C C
Open up the gate for you.
F F Am Am
I want you, I want you,
Dm Dm C C
I want you so bad,
F F
Honey, I want you.

Am Am
Now all my fathers, they've gone down,
Dm Dm
True love they've been without it.
Am Am
But all their daughters put me down
Bb Bb C C
'Cause I don't think about it.

F F
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
Am Am
And talk with my chambermaid.
Dm Dm
She knows that I'm not afraid
C C
To look at her
Bb Bb
She is good to me
C C
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
Dm Dm
She knows where I'd like to be
C C
But it doesn't matter.
F F Am Am
I want you, I want you,
Dm Dm C C
I want you so bad
F F
Honey, I want you.

F F
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
Am Am
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
Dm Dm
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
C C
Was I?
Bb Bb
But I did it, though, because he lied
C C
Because he took you for a ride
Dm Dm
And because tine was on his side
C C
And because I...
F F Am Am
I want you, I want you,
Dm Dm C C
I want you so bad
F F
Honey, I want you.

"I Want You" is a 1966 song recorded by Bob Dylan which appeared on the album Blonde on Blonde. It was also released as a single with a live version of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" in June, reaching number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 and number sixteen in the UK. A live version later appeared on the album, Dylan and the Dead, a collaboration with the Grateful Dead.
