 Em 
I opened the paper 
A 
 There was Your picture 
                         Em 
Gone gone gone by your own  hand 
 Em 
I couldn't believe it 
A 
 The paper was shaken 
                         Em 
Gone gone gone by your own  hand 
 G 
I know I'm going to spend 
                Em 
The rest of my lifetime wondering why 
G                              
 You found yourself so badly hurt 

You had to die 
 

 
   Em 
I opened the paper 
 A 
There was your picture 
                            Em 
 Gone gone gone by your own hand 
 Em 
The phone started ringing 
A 
 Had I heard about it 

 I shook every time 
            Em 
I heard it ring 

What was my reaction 
A 
 I put the phone down 
  
That was the only news 
               Em 
It was fit to sing 
 

 
G 
 They ask about Dylan 
       Em 
 About  McDougall 

Street and  Third 
 G 
Question piled on question 
                 
And each question more absurd 
Em 
  Oh I opened the paper 
A 
 There was Your picture 
                           Em 
Gone gone gone by your own hand 
               D             Em 
Oh I remember there but for fortune 
 G 
There but for fortune 
                 D 
You and I would go 
 

 
     C 
   Fortune turned its back on you 

So it must have seemed to you 

Christ alone knows 
                   
What was the final blow 
Em 
  The last time I saw you 
 A 
The last time I saw you 
                               Em 
Bleaker street outside the other  end 

I told you I'd see you 
 A 
I got distracted 
                      Em 
 I never saw your face again 
G 
 

 
G 
  I heard that you were 
         Em 
Feeling stronger every day 
G 
 I heard that you were well 
     
With good things on the way 
    Em 
Then  I opened the paper 
 A 
There was your picture 
              Em 
Gone gone gone by your own hand 

Oh I remember 
               Em 
There but for fortune 
 G 
There but for fortune 
        D 
You and  I would go 
 

 
    C 
   Fortune turn Its back on you 

So it must seem to you 

Christ alone knows 
                     
What was the final blow 
Em 
  The last time I saw you 
     A 
The last time I saw you 
                               Em 
Bleaker street outside the other  end 

I told you I'd see you 
A 
 I got distracted 
                     Em

Then I opened the paper

There was your picture 
                         E 
Gone gone gone by your own hand 
  
Gone gone gone 
           Em  E 
By your own   hand
