Tuning My Guitar - Live At The Troubadour 1969

-Applause

Okay

Thanks for waiting this long

I always have trouble with mechanical things

The light's okay?

What is that?

Come on

I'm thinkin' what I'm doing

I'm thinkin' what I done

Thinkin' 'bout my mother

Who never thought I'd come

Quite this far from nowhere

To hear myself be sung

But I still haven't forgotten

I used to do it just for fun

When all the ones around me

Would wonder if they saw or heard

Me singing somewhere

Tuning my guitar

Knock once, I got ten minutes

And every night's the same

You know I wish I wasn't in it

When I hear them call my name

Same people all around me

And I wonder who they are

I know they're not my family

And they're not my friends, by far

They're all the ones around me

I wonder who they are

They stand behind my curtain

And they hope I'll be a star

They say, "Get out and sell them"

But sellin's not my aim

I'm gonna sing the life I'm livin'

And try to ease the pain

Of all the ones around me

No matter who they are

They stand behind my curtain

And they hope I'll be a star

But all the ones around me

Who don't know who they are

They hide and they look uncertain

But they hope I'll be a star

But all the ones around me

No matter who they are

Tonight they're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar

And all the ones all around me

I don't care who you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar

Oh, all the ones around

And I don't care, I don't care who you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar

All the ones

All the ones around me

I don't care who you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar

Oh, all the ones around me

Who do you think you are?

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar
