Chords in this song

D-DU-UDU
Buckets  of rain, buckets  of tears,
got  all them buckets  comin' out  of my ears.
Buckets  of moonbeams in my hand,
I  got all the love, honey  baby, you  can stand.
 I been meek and hard like an oak,
 I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
 Friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
 if you want me, honey baby, I'll be here.
 Like your smile and your fingertips,
 like the way that you move your lips.
 I like the cool way you look at me,
 everything about you is bringing me misery.
 Little red wagon, little red bike,
 I ain't no monkey but I know what I like.
 I like the way you love me strong and slow,
 I'm taking you with me, honey baby, when I go.
 Life is sad, life is a bust,
 all you can do is do what you must.
 You do what you must do and you do it well,
 I'll do it for you, honey baby, can't you tell.
 Hope this helps, Peter.
 BUCKETS OF RAIN- Bob Dylan
 Buckets of  rain,  buckets of tears
 Got  all  them buckets  coming out of  my ears
 Buckets  of moonbeams in my hand
 
 
 You  got  all the  love honey baby I can stand
 I've been meek, and hard like an oak
 I've seen pretty people disappear like smoke
 Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
 If you want me, honey baby I'll be here
 I like the smile in your fingertips
 I like the way that you move your hips
 I like the cool way you look at me
 Everything about you is bringing me misery
 Little red wagon, little red bike
 I ain't no monkey but I know what I like
 I like the way you love me strong and slow
 I'm taking you with me honey baby when I go
 Life is sad, life is a bust
 All you can do is do what you must
 You do what you must do, and you do it well
 I'll do it for you, honey baby can't you tell?

 NOTE: I'm not really that sure about this one, I just know it sounds
 much better than playing it in standard version. This is just a general
 outline- listen to the record to really get it. Also, it's hard to
 explain, but you need to slide on and off the 000102 and 000304 shapes
 when they appear.
