Every Grain of Sand Bob Dylan
The best way to play this song is as follows:
Capo on the third fret:
Intro | C F | C F | C F | C F ||
In the [C]time of my conf[F]ession, in the [C]hour of my deepest need[F]
When the [C]pool of tears be[F]neath my feet f[G]lood every [Gsus4]newborn s[G]eed
There's a [C]dyin' voice wi[F]thin me [C]reaching out somewh[F]ere,
[C]Toiling in the [F]danger and in the [G]morals [Gsus4]of desp[G]air.
Don't [G]have the incl[G7]ination to look [C]back on any mis[G]take,
Like Cain, I now be[G7]hold this chain of e[C]vents that I must [G]break.[F]
In the f[C]ury of the [Fmaj9]moment I can [C]see the Master's [Fmaj9]hand
In e[C]very leaf that [Fmaj9]trembles, in ev[G]ery g[G7]rain of [C]sand.
Oh, the f[C]lowers of i[F]ndulgence and the [C]weeds of yesteryear,[F]
Like [C]criminals, they have[F] choked the breath of [G]conscience an[Gsus4]d good c[G]heer.
The [C]sun beat down [F]upon the steps of [C]time to light the [F]way
To e[C]ase the pain of [F]idleness and the [G]memory [Gsus4]of deca[G]y.

I ga[G]ze into the d[G7]oorway of tem[C]ptation's angry [G]flame
And every time I [G7]pass that way I [C]always hear my n[G]ame.[F]
Then [C]onward in my j[Fmaj9]ourney I [C]come to under[Fmaj9]stand
That ev[C]ery hair is [Fmaj9]numbered like [G]every gr[G7]ain of sa[C]nd.

| C Fmaj9 | C Fmaj9 | C Fmaj9 | G G7 C ||
I have g[C]one from rags to [F]riches in the [C]sorrow of the n[F]ight
In the v[C]iolence of a [F]summer's dream, in the c[G]hill of a [Gsus4]wintry [G]light,
In the [C]bitter dance of [F]loneliness [C]fading into s[F]pace,
In the [C]broken mirror of [F]innocence on[G] each forgot[Gsus4]ten fa[G]ce.
I [G]hear the ancient [G7]footsteps like the [C]motion of the [G]sea
Sometimes I turn, there's [G7]someone there, other [C]times it's only [G]me.[F]
I am [C]hanging in the balance o[Fmaj9]f the rea[C]lity of [Fmaj9]man
Like [C]every sparrow fa[Fmaj9]lling, like[G] every g[G7]rain of s[C]and.
