Lirik dan Chord Lagu Hurricane - Bob Dylan

[Verse 3]

Am                                            F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am                                          F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Am                                              F 
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am                                          F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C                                            F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C                                 F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm                                    C
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
Dm                                   C Em
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
                      Am            F        C G
’Less you wanna draw the heat

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]

Am                                        F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am                                          F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
Am                                        F
He said, “I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
Am                                         F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates”
C                                        F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C                                    F
Cop said, “Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead”
Dm                                    C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm                                      C     Em
And though this man could hardly see
                        Am       F                     C       G
They told him that he could identify the guilty men

[Verse 5]

Am                                          F
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Am                                         F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am                                            F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Am                                        F
Says, “Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!”
C                                       F
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
G C                                        F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm                                       C
For somethin’ that he never done
Dm                               C     Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
                         Am      F     C G
The champion of the world

[Verse 6]

Am                                      F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am                                          F
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
Am                                         F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
Am                                        F
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
C                                               F
“Remember that murder that happened in a bar?”
G C                                         F
“Remember you said you saw the getaway car?”
Dm                                      C
“You think you’d like to play ball with the law?”
Dm                                    C    Em
“Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?”
                      Am          F              C G
“Don’t forget that you are white”

[Instrumental]
