  24 <p>This is played very loosely. The chords used are all in the 7th
  25 position, so either use a capo on the 7th fret with the chords E, A/e
  26 and B11, or play without a capo with the barre chords B, E/b and
  27 F#11. Since the outcome is the same, I thought I might as well use
  28 the capoed chords in the tab.<br />
  29 The A/e could be an Esus4 as well (022200). When the bass comes in
  30 towards the end of the first verse, it playes E and F# (i.e. A and B
  31 relative to the capo), which fits well with Esus4 also. <br />
  32 The second line is played without the first A/e in verses 2 and 3.</p>

  62 <p>Add a [C Csus4 C] or a [C Csus4 C Csus2 C] flourish at the end of each
  63 line and a Gsus4 or C/g for the Gs at midline.<br />
  64 Note that the first line in the first verse is sung completely
  65 different from the rest of the lines. Probably to fool the audience
  66 into thinking that he was going to sing Blowin' in the wind...</p>
