  22 <p>traditional/Revd. Gary Davis<br />
  23 Performed by Bob Dylan occasionally in his early days (at the
  24 <em>Gaslight</em>, e.g.), and frequently in 1997-1999<br />
  25 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem </p>

  31 <p>Capo 5th fret (sounding key F major)<br />
  32 Standard fingerpicking. The F chord is fingered with an open 5th
  33 string (A) in the bass (103211). This, and the hammer-ons, requires
  34 the chord to be played using the thumb on the 6th string.</p>
  35
  36 <p>The intro is in principle what is played for the verses (beginning
  37 from measure 3), whereas the interlude is also the refrain. And, yes,
  38 he does sing the two 10th street verses in a row, without a refrain
  39 between them. The last &ldquo;refrain&rdquo; is really just mumbling over the
  40 final interlude (which then isn't an interlude anymore, but a
  41 postlude).</p>
