Bob Dylan - Jokerman - Chords??

Question

Was just wondering if anyone had any idea what the chords were for "jokerman" by bob dylan, as he performed it on the letterman performance in the mid 80's ('84 I think). Probably not the right place to ask this question, but i have looked EVERYWHERE on the net with no luck, all I can find is the regular studio version. Any help would be great - chords, tabs, even the key. Thanks.

Hey Tom A,

Bob Dylan is my king of rock. He played in Myrtle Beach with Willie Nelson in 2005, and I got to see him. Anyway, here you go:

Jokerman
By Bob Dylan

Bb BbM7
Standin' on the water casting your bread,

Cm/Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing.

Bb BbM7
Distant ships sailin' into the mist,

Cm/Bb F/Bb
You were born with a snake in both of your fists,

Bb
While a hurricane was blowing.

Cm7 F Bb
Freedom, just around the corner for you.

Cm7 F Bb Eb
But with truth so far off, what good would it do?


Chorus

F Eb
Jokerman dance to the nightingale's tune.

Bb F/A Eb/G Eb
Bird fly high by the light of the moon.

Bb/D Eb6 F Bb
Oh, oh, oh Jokerman.

You just needed to come to the right place. Enjoy.
