happy birthday Gemini bob Dylan! Excellent tribute

This is great... a wonderful and very engaging tribute... "Hey Bob Dylan, I don’t know you, but you know me well" (and many other transcendent lines!).. very very well done.

hey I just heard a great one from Mr  Dylan "I'll remember you" it is so good.

"go on your way accordingly and know you're not alone"

you are one clever dude to pull this off. it gets better everytime I listen.

Hey, Bob Dylan

How do they live, how do they go on?
Love always has a tiny-tiny chance.

G/C/G/C

1. (Em) I don´t (Cadd9) know, (G) how to sur(D)vive
(Em) your crazy (Cadd9) life  and (G) no lulla(D)bies.
Your (C) trips and endless (G) work are still
(Cadd9) hard to handle, I (G) have no skills.

(Cadd9) Let it (G) be, (Cadd9) just let (G) go.

Mm-mm ... (Cadd9/G 2x)

Chorus: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

2. (Em) I dont´t (Cadd9) blame you, (G) not any(D)more.
(Em) Can´t change your (Cadd9) soul, (G) not any(D)more.
The (Cadd9) ribbons teared from my (G) wedding dress
(Cadd9) flew away, I´m (G) more than less.

Mmm-mm
(Cadd9) Just keep (G) going, (Cadd9) just let it (G) be.
(Cadd9) Easy to (G) say, but it´s (Cadd9) not really (G).

Mm-mm.

CHORUS: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

Chorus: 2. time
End:  love (Em) always has a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny chance.

Bye-bye, Lullaby

"The World So Big" - my friend who travels around the world daily, said once that the world is so small. Starting in the morning you can be other said of the world for the evening.
True. 
I was thinking if you travel whole life looking for happiness, then only thing you really need is LOVE, someone close to you.

"Tule ja jää"

Capo 3

1. Sa (Cmaj7) suvi oled, mina talve (Dm7) moodi.
Mu (Cmaj7) kehas pole (Dm7) tärkamist.
Su (Cmaj7) ilu elukunstnik väega (Dm7) voolis, 
mul (Cmaj7) osaks sai vaid veidi (Dm7) märkamist.

Ent (F) tasakaalu on meil siiski (Em) vaja, 
ei (F) vastuvoolu kaua (Em) ujuta.
Me (F) hoolimine on meie (Em) lepitaja, 
elu (F) sinuta ei ette (Gmaj7) kujuta.

CHORUS: 
Ära (F) loobu minust, olen see, kes (C) olen.
Ka (F) sul on õigus ikka suveks (Cmaj7) jääda.
Ma (F) joobun sinust, aina rõõmsalt (C) tulen,
olen (Dm7) olemas nii (G) tule kui ka (C) jääna.

VM: Cmaj7/Dm7/Cmaj/Dm7

2. (Cmaj7) Rohtu armu vastu poes ei (Dm7) müüda, 
ka (Cmaj7) tuulekülm ei meid (Dm7) jahuta.
Ja (Cmaj7) lõputult võib taevast appi (Dm7) hüüda.
Meid (Cmaj7) kahte ei miski (Dm7) lahuta.

Mis (F) sest, et mina talv ja sina (Em) suvi.
Mis (F) sest, et meie vastu terve (Em) ilm.
Ma (F) mõistan hästi, miks mu ellu (Em) tulid, 
meil (F) teineteiseta ei säraks (Gmaj7) silm.

CHORUS 2x: 
Ära (F) loobu minust, olen see, kes (C) olen.
Ka (F) sul on õigus ikka suveks (Cmaj7) jääda.
Ma (F) joobun sinust, aina rõõmsalt (C) tulen,
olen (Dm7) olemas nii (G) tule kui ka (C) jääna.

Farmers wake up every day  thinking about weather, can they harvest etc. And you whisper to the wind. Let it be good weather.

TUULE PALVE

1. (D) Aeg viib mõtted marjamaale, aeg viib mõtted marjamaale
(Asus4) kaasas unistuste korv.
(D) Aeg viib mõtted marjamaale, aeg viib mõtted marjamaale, 
(Asus4) mu meeltes aga vaibub torm.

CH: (G) Tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid.

2. Maa toob tallad tantsimaie, maa toob tallad tantsimaie, 
muld aga vaikib tummana.
Maa toob tallad tantsimaie, maa toob tallad tantsimaie, 
kuld aga salves viljana.

CH: (G) Tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid.

3. Vaev saab kuhja tasutud, vaev saab kuhja tasutud, 
puhaku nüüd rahus töökad käed.
Vaev saab kuhja tasutud, vaev saab kuhja tasutud, 
uueks teosks vägevamad väed.

CH: (G) Tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul, too häid (D) sõnumeid.

4. Taevas annab, taevas võtab, taevas annab, taevas võtab, 
aina sinna üles piilub silm.
Taevas annab, taevas võtab, taevas annab, taevas võtab, 
loodad veel, et hukas poleks ilm.

CH: (G) Tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid.

5. Saak salve, saak salve, saak salve, saak salve, 
ole tänatud, mu kallis maa.
Saak salve, saak salve, saak salve, saak salve, 
tänan taevast, tänan teid ka.

CH: (G) Tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid.
(G) Tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid, (G) tuul tõi häid (D) sõnumeid. ...

CT/SC...Posting New Originals and Covers Every Week 

Originals,Covers,General Acoustic Goodness 
Folk Music/Music for Folks

All my original songs, as well as all covers, are grouped in Playlists. Some of the playlists were created as albums (A Field Guide To Pagan Saints demos) of rough home recordings, and some are grouped according to genre/artist.

If you like any of the originals and want to cover them, have at it! Just make sure you give proper attribution AND let me know- I'd love to hear them!

Sometimes the missus joins me with her fiddle, and the dogs and the kids and the general jubilee provide ambiance, but for the most part these tracks are just me. 

All tracks posted here are recorded (rather poorly) on my iPhone using the Voice Memo app, with the exception of the About A Girl album tracks (grouped in a set), which were recorded in the studio and released by Crafty Records. So, they're all demo quality and, while they may not be the prettiest, they sure are real!

Hey, Bob Dylan
