Positively 4th Street - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

Recorded July 29th 1965, this song most likely should have been included on Dylan's 1965 album "Highway 61 Revisited", and it sounds like it was. But instead it was released as a successful single, and appears only in compilations. It is straight ear1y Dylan going folk rock, with Al Kooper on organ. It's almost a twin of the earlier single "Like a Rolling Stone".   It's been discussed who was the target for Dylans anger. Probably the target was no single person, but the entire part of Greenwich Village that criticized Dylan's departure from traditional folk styles. Some people point at Richard Fariña, who then wrote "Morgan the Pirate" in return. This rumour has never been verified.

G          Am             Am7             G
you got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
G5              Gmaj13                D7sus4    D7
when I was down you just stood there grinning
G          Am             Am7                   G
you got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
G5              Gmaj13                  D7sus4    D7
you just want to be on the side that's winning
