  16 <p>Words by Bob Dylan. Music based on 'Having Myself a Time' by Leo Robin
  17 &amp; Ralph Rainger, sung by Billie Holiday (thanks to Trev for notifying
  18 me)<br />

  20 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>

  24 <p>For this song I believe in a capo on the 1st fret, at least in a solo
  25 acoustic tab, since the uncapoed version would be virtually
  26 unplayable. Both versions are included, though, with a list of
  27 suggested chords at the end.</p>

 156 <p>this is spoken by Rosalind who, about twenty lines earlier says "oh how full of briers is this working-day world".  she and Celia then discuss the nature of the briers and walking on paths lined with such briers for the next ten lines or so (found and submitted by Nick Dorman).</p>

 211 <p>Here's a tab of what the bass plays during the bridge. I've written it
 212 relative to the capo of the rest of the tab, for clarity. The bass
 213 obviously doesn't use a capo, though, and the (*) denotes the tone
 214 right below the capo... (i.e. the open, lowest string).</p>
