Bonnie Ship the Diamond
Trad.Played by Bob Dylan and the Band in the Basement of 1967
Lyrics modified from It's not a house it's a home page. Chords tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
On my copy it plays in Bbm, thus a capo on the 1st fret.
The chords in the first verse aren't quite like in the rest of the verses, which follow the simpler pattern of the second verse.
[introductory search for chords omitted for brevity]

Well, the bonnie ship was a good old ship

She was a-fishin' on a [leading chain]

Basement Tapes version
[...] But he's young and he's daily growin'
G D G C G C/g G
Daughter, dearest daughter, I have done you no wrong
Em G D
I've wed you to non other than a wealthy man's son
G C G Em C G C/g G
And he will be a man to you when I am dead and gone
G D G C/g G
He's young but he's daily growin'
Ah, one day as I was walking all alone down by the schoolwall I saw the boys, they were playing at the ball And my own true love was the fairest of them all He was young, but he was daily growin'.
At the age of sixteen years he was a married man at the age of seventeen he was the father of a son At the age of eighteen years, 'round his grave the grass grew long Cruel death had put an end to his growin'
Oh, the springtime is leavin' now, and summer's comin' on With ornaments and fans the ladies all pass on Oh yes, once I had a true love, but now I have none. But I'll watch his bonnie son, while he's growin.

I warn you: after the two first lines, the lyrics don't make any sense at all. The only reason I've bothered tabbing this, is that the tune is interesting.

One Man's Loss
Written by Bob Dylan, I guessPerformed by Bob Dylan and the Band in the Basement, summer 1967
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Too bad the sound is so bad on this, because it's a text with potential. The bracketed passages are just representations of the sounds I seem to hear, with no claim for meaning or authority.
I'd suggest a capo on the 5th fret (sounding key D major), with the following figure going through the whole song:
A A6 A D/a |-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|---------3---3---| |-2---2---2---2---|-2---2---2---2---| |-2---2---4---4---|-2---2---4---4---| |-0---0---0---0---|-0---0---0---0---| |-----------------|-----------------|
[first verse inaudible] A [Let's take a cherry], I can't make it no more Can't stop, she's breaking all time on the floor Better come down easy or don't come down at all You don't try and to please me, somebody's gonna fall
D A
One man's loss always is another man's gain
E D A
Yes, one man's joy always is another man's pain
Eight o'clock in the morning, [better] step aside [let me be to your] warning, you better go by Three times a loser, number 45 better not lose her, best stayed alive
One man's loss always is another man's gain Yes, one man's joy always is another man's pain
Wish I'd have found me [...] at the wall One look at the watch, you better [lord at all] You can't stop it or wait it [...] at night Too hard to keep you waiting, calls me aside
One man's loss always is another man's gain Yes, one man's joy always is another man's pain

On the banks of the river where the willows hang down
Em G C/g G
And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound
Em G C/g G
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold
C /b /a G C/g G
It was there I first listened to the lies that you told
Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face
The past I remember time cannot erase
The letter you wrote me it was written in shame
And I know that your conscience still echoe's my name
Now the nights are so long, ah, sorrow runs deep
Nothing is worse than a night without sleep
I'll walk out alone and look at the sky
Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry
Now, if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies wore thrushes
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes
If the ladies were squirrel's with them high bushy tails
I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
