13 <h1 class=
"songtitle">In My Time of Dyin'
</h1>
16 <p>Sung by Bob Dylan on the
<a href=
"index.htm" class=
"recordlink">self-titled album
</a> (
1961)
<br />
17 Tabbed by Eyolf
Østrem
</p>
20 <p>The song is basically just a finger-picking/bottleneck exercise over a
21 sustained chord in
<a href=
"../roadmaps.htm#opentunings">Open D/E
</a> tuning. It's all in the singing... :-)
</p>
22 <p>Open D tuning (D-A-d-f#-a-d')/Capo
4th fret or (preferably, since the
23 12th fret is easier to hit then) Open E tuning (E-B-e-g#-b-e')/capo
25 <p>Below is the intro and the first verse tabbed the way it is
26 played. All the slide figures are played with the bottleneck, but if
27 you haven't emptied your bottle yet, the fingers will have to do.
</p>
28 <p>The lick that is played here and there in the intro and between lines
29 eventually settles into a more fixed form:
