Farewell Angelina - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

This song was originally written and recorded for Dylan's 1965 album "Bringing It All Back Home" (Also known as "Subterranean' Homesick Blues"), but was discarded. He never attempted to record it again, and it first appeared on "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3" from 1991.
But Joan Baez got her hands on it : she liked the surrealistic lyrics and striking tune, and her version from '65 became famous. Now, some 50 years later, she still regularely pleases her public with this. Maybe she IS Angelina Bob had in his mind ...
The title may be inspired by "Farewell to Tarwathie", an old scottish sailor's song, and the melody is related to the traditional tune "Wagoner's Lad".

I first heard it from a girlfriend of mine, who sang and wrote it down for me in '74. I still have it in a drawer somewhere.

A              A7       D             A
farewell Angelina  the bells of the crown
            F#m      C#m             D     E7   A
are being stolen by bandits  I must follow the sound
A             A7               D            E7
the triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
       Dmaj7       C#m      Dmaj7       C#m
means farewell Angelina  the sky is on fire
D   E7     A
and I must go
