Bob Dylan – Wicked Messenger chords

[Intro]
G    F

[Verse 1]
      GThere was a wicked messenger
                FFrom Eli he did come
       GWith a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
     GWhen questioned who had sent for him
                     FHe answered with his thumb
        GFor his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

[Interlude]
G    F  G

[Verse 2]
   GHe stayed behind the assembly hall
                         FIt was there he made his bed
     GOftentimes he could be seen returning
  GUntil one day he just appeared
                              FWith a note in his hand which read
     G"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

[Interlude]
G     F  G

[Verse 3]
        GOh, the leaves began to falling
                      FAnd the seas began to part
        GAnd the people that confronted him were many
    GAnd he was told but these few words
                    FWhich opened up his heart
       G"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
