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.
