Hints:
The notes as tabbed below are merely a guide as to bass/treble
strings for strumming, they aren't set in stone! Finger the whole chord
each time anyway. The open top E on the off-beat is easiest played on
the upstroke.

Bird on the horizon sitting on a fence
(etc)
Bird on the horizon
Sittin' on a fence
He's singing his song for me
At his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Oh-oh
Singin' just for you
Oh-oh
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears
Love is so simple
To quote a phrase
You've known it all the time
I'm learnin' it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you
Oh-oh
In somebody's room
Oh-oh
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way
Time is a jet plane
It moves too fast
Oh but what a shame
That all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear
Oh-oh
See what you can do
Mm-mm
I can make it through
You can make it too
A change in the weather
Can be extreme
But it ain't like changing
Horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind
Oh-oh
With a pain that stops and starts
Mm-mm
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart

YOU'RE A BIG GIRL NOW- Bob Dylan
TUNING: E B E G# B E, capo 3rd fret
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off of my feet
E(2)
And I'm back in the rain, oooh and you are on dry land
E(2)
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now
Bird on the horizon sittin' on a fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird, oooh singin' just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh but what a shame that all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear, woooa see what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too
Love is so simple to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you, oooh in somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind, oooh with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart

NOTE: I got most of this from the bootleg version posted before, but I
made some changes according to what I heard on the album version (Blood
on the Tracks, 1975). Also, the G#m/E is a bit tricky to play, but I play
it by using the thumb on the low E.
