  16 <p>Trad.<br />
  17 Released by Bob Dylan on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">Good As I Been To You</a> (1992)<br />
  18 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  19
  20 <p>It seems that the B is played with an open E string: x24400, but the
  21 full B chord x24442 is fine too; you don't really need those high
  22 strings anyway, since mostly the song is played only on the bass
  23 strings.</p>
  24
  25 <p>The E4 chord (E on the fourth fret) = xxx454. Could be played on the
  26 seventh fret as well (079990)</p>
  27
  28 <p>Standard blues accompaniment:</p>
