  19 <p>This is one of the little gems that were sung in the non-Dylan parts of the Rolling Thunder Revue shows.<br />
  20 The intro is the model for the picking in the rest of the song, except that the little finger is usually kept on the 1st  string, 3rd fret until the Dm chord.

  22 <p>Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)</p>
