(Intro)
A Bm E D
Ferdinand standing in the tower thinkin how to get the power
Empress knows that it would cost her
For Ferdinand The Imposter
Came to me to make a deal,
Dressed like General Butterfield.
A Bm D E
Couldnt wait to thank him for the stuffed birds and rubber door
A G D
Donated to him from the poor
D A
But it's just his game
D A
And he carries no shame
A G D
Still, he done nobody wrong
D A
He knew he didn't belong
D A
But he went along
C#m
D E E7
Looking to see if there's somebody else he'd like to be
Benny the Barber, Luke and me,
Passed out tickets cautiously,
To see the burning of the soup,
Down at Lucy's chicken coop.
Then of course Ferdinand,
Started out doing Charlie Chan.
That last atlas honkey's fall,
He says he's gonna do them all.
A voice just said he's not for real,
But it's just his game,
And he carries no shame.
Still he done nobody wrong,
He knew he didn't belong,
But he went along.
Lookin' to see if there's somebody,
Else he'd like to be.
C#m Bm
Oh it's hard, oh, don't you know
C#m Bm
To be somebody that you don't even know
A D
But he's friendly, yes he's kind
B E E7
I can't help wonderin why they'd want to change his mind
Got a message in the mail,
Ferdinand was thrown in jail.
I left the snow with Abigail,
Went on down to fix his bail.
They had him locked in a gunny sack,
His hands were tied behind his back.
He claimed he was a Doukhobor (*)
But they never heard of that in Baltimore.
The police said he'd better go home,
And he went back alone,
Back to the snow.
Still he done nobody wrong,
He knew he didn't belong,
But he went along.
Lookin' to see if there's somebody,
Else he'd like to be,
Mainly free.
The Band è stato un gruppo rock canadese-statunitense formatosi a Toronto nel 1967 e scioltosi nel 1976 per poi riformarsi nel 1983 fino al 1999. La formazione originale comprendeva Robbie Robertson (chitarra), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko e Levon Helm. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica rock americana, The Band ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '70 grazie a un sound folk-rock caratterizzato da arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi e testi poetici. Il loro album di debutto, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), è considerato un classico del genere e ha contribuito a definire il suono della musica americana degli anni '70. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Band ricordiamo "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" e "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". La band ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Bob Dylan, con cui hanno suonato in tour negli anni '60 e '70. La morte di Richard Manuel nel 1980 e di Levon Helm nel 2012 hanno segnato la fine di un'epoca per The Band.
