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
G#m E A
Now somebody's got to show their hand time is but an enemy
A E B C#m 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
G#m E
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed
A
By enforced insanity
A E B C#m 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
G#m E A
In fourteen months I've only smiled once I didn't do it consciously
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
The old rounder in the iron mask he slipped me the master key
E B C#m 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
G#m E
So I waited all night long till the break of day hoping one of us
would get
A
free
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
work I was a fool not to try to protect your idenity
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
It frightens me the awful truth how sweet life can be
E B C#m 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
G#m, E A
When you bite off more than you can chew you pay the penalty
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
Now I just can't rest without your love I need your company
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
We both heard voices for awhile now the rest is history
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
And the girl with me behind the shades she ain't my property
E B C#m 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
G#m E A
And the rickenbacker around my leg I played it for you for free
E B C#m E A E A E A E
No one else could play that tune you know it was up to me
