Every Grain Of Sand

Bob Dylan

capo 1

In the Dtime of my conGfession, in the Dhour of my deepest Gneed
When the Dpool of tears beGneath my feet Aflood every Asus4newborn Aseed
There's a Ddyin' voice withGin me Dreaching out someGwhere,
DToiling in the Gdanger and in the Amorals Asus4of desApair.

Don't Ahave the incliA7nation to look Dback on any misAtake,
Like ACain, I now beA7hold this chain of eDvents that I must| bAreak.<Gb>|

chorus

In the Dfury of the Gmoment I can Dsee the Master's Ghand
In Devery leaf that Gtrembles, in Aevery A7sus4grain of| sDan|d.%|

Oh, the Dflowers of inGdulgence and the Dweeds of yesterGyear,
Like Dcriminals, they have Gchoked the breath of Aconscience Asus4and good Acheer.
The Dsun beat down uGpon the steps of Dtime to light the Gway
To Dease the pain of Gidleness and the Amemory Asus4of decAay.

I Agaze into the A7doorway of tempDtation's angry Aflame
And Aevery time I A7pass that way, I Dalways hear my |naAme.G|

Then Donward in my Gjourney I Dcome to underGstand
That Devery hair is Gnumbered like Aevery A7sus4grain of |saDnd|.<%b>|

I have Dgone from rags to Griches in the Dsorrow of the Gnight
In the Dviolence of a Gsummer's dream, in the A7chill of a A7sus4wintry A7light,
In the Dbitter dance of Gloneliness Dfading into Gspace,
In the Dbroken mirror of Ginnocence on A7each forgA7sus4otten fA7ace.

I Ahear the ancient A7footsteps like the Dmotion of the Asea
SomeAtimes I turn, there's A7someone there, other Dtimes it's onl|y Ame.G|

I am Dhanging in the Gbalance of the Dreality of Gman
Like Devery sparrow Gfalling, like Aevery A7sus4grain of| sDan|d.%|
