From: Tim Beacham (windsor@1stnet.com) COVENANT WOMAN (Words and Music by Bob Dylan) 1980 Special Rider Music This is a great song from Saved, follow along with yer guitar. I capoed it because it makes it much easier to play. ON the chorus the changes come fast, right after one another. Capo on 3rd fret: D Bm F#m Em Covenant woman got a contract with the Lord Em Bm A Way up yonder, great will be her reward. D Bm F#m Em Covenant woman, shining like a morning star, Em Bm A I know I can trust you to stay the way you are. Chorus : G Bm And I just got to tell you C D G that I do intend G Bm C D G To stay closer than any friend. G Bm I just got to thank you C Once again D C For making your prayers known Bm Am D C Bm Am Unto heaven for me D C Bm Am D C And to you, always, so grateful Bm Am G D A D I will forever be. I've been broken, shattered like an empty cup. I'm just waiting on the Lord to rebuild and fill me up And I know He will do it 'cause He's faithful and He's true, He must have loved me so much to send me someone as fine as you. And I just got to tell you I do intend To stay closer than any friend. I just got to thank you Once again For making your prayers known Unto heaven for me And to you, always, so grateful I will forever be. Covenant woman, intimate little girl Who knows those most secret things of me that are hidden from the world. You know we are strangers in a land we're passing through. I'll always be right by your side, I've got a covenant too. And I just got to tell you I do intend To stay closer than any friend. I just got to thank you Once again For making your prayers known Unto heaven for me And to you, always, so grateful I will forever be.
