From: Harlan L Thompson
EVERYTHING IS BROKEN- Bob Dylan
E7
Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs
A7 E7
Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds
B7 A7
Ain’t no use jivin’, ain’t no use jokin’
E7
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
E7
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
A7
Something else has just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws, broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones, broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you’re chokin’
Everything is broken
E7
Every time you leave and go off some place
A7
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules
Hound dog howlin’, bullfrog croakin’
Everything is broken
(from Oh Mercy!, 1989)
