Bob Dylan 
Every Grain of Sand (1980)
(Bob Dylan)

From: "The Bootleg Series Vol. 01-03. Rare and Unreleased 1961-1991"

A beautiful acoustic demo recording in a different key than the version 
released on “Shot of Love” (which is in Eb). Moreover it is in 4/4 as 
opposed to the 6/8 of the final version. The last couplet in the last verse
is different, too.

| G | Cmaj7 | G | Cmaj7 | G | Cmaj7 | D Dsus4* | D | 


G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DWhen the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7There’s a dyin’ voice within me reaching out somewhere
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DToiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
D D7 G DDon’t have the inclination to look back on any mistake
(break) (break)
D D7 G D C/D Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7In the fury of the moment I can see the Master’s hand
G Cmaj7 D C/D GIn every leaf that trembles and in every grain of sand
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DLike criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DTo ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
D D7 G DI gaze into the doorway of temptation’s angry flame
(break) (break)
D D7 G D C/D And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7Then onward in my journey I come to understand
G Cmaj7 D C/D GThat every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DIn the violence of a summer’s dream, in the chill of a wintry light
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
G Cmaj7 D Dsus4* DIn the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face
D D7 G DI hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
(break) (break)
D D7 G D C/D Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
G Cmaj7 D C/D | G Gsus4 | GLike every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
