  21
  22 <p>Written by Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes<br />
  23 arranged by Bob Dylan and played on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">World Gone Wrong</a> (1993)<br />
  24 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  25
  26 <p>Capo 4th fret (original key E major)</p>
  27
  28 <p>The trick is to get the riff that runs through the whole song
  29 right. This riff appears everywhere where there's a G, and it's always
  30 played twice in a row. The adjacent open strings <em>should</em> be
  31 sounding, especially at the end of the riff, where you get the
  32 delicious clash between the Bb of the third string and the B of the
  33 open second string. The : and | indicate the beats. Most of the melody
  34 notes come a little before the beat, and should be played on the
  35 upstrokes. Throughout all of this, you keep strumming, but lightly,
  36 mainly to indicate the basic rhythm. <br />
  37 For the initial slide up ( / = slide up), you already have the index
  38 finger in place from the C chord. Use that.</p>
