  22 <p>Written by Thomas A. Dorsey<br />
  23 Performed once by Bob Dylan (Les Ar&egrave;nes, Frejus, France 13 June
  24 1989)<br />
  25 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>

  29 <p>Dylan's performance is a tremendous one, but one where &ndash; as often is
  30 the case with his one-offs &ndash; the words aren't always clear. I've
  31 noted some deviations from the &ldquo;standard&rdquo; version, but not all of
  32 them. The end of the chorus is sung differently, but I can't hear what
  33 he's singing there. Thus, the version below is a hybrid: neither
  34 exactly what Dylan sings, nor what he should have sung.</p>
  35
  36 <p>Either the tape is a little fast, or he has a capo on the 1st fret.</p>
