16 <p>Words and music Bob Dylan<br />
17 Released on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">Slow Train Coming</a> (1979)<br />
18 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
20 <p>There isn't really much of a chord structure here, just a 12-bar blues
21 riff. The tab is just a suggestion &ndash; it could be played elsewhere and
22 in other octaves &ndash; and so is the chords in parenthesis.</p>

124 The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan</em> (2003)(with Mavis Staples)</h2>
126 <p>The tab below is just a synthesis of what is played in most of the
127 verses. There are variations, one of the most prominent being the use
128 of parallel fifths (i.e. power chords) instead of single notes, at
129 least in some of the verses, as indicated in the first bar.</p>
