C G/b When the rain is blowing in your face Gm/Bb F/a and the whole world is on your case Fm/Ab C/g I could offer a warm embrace D9/f# G11 C to make you feel my love When evening shatters and the stars appear and there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love
F C
One of Dylan’s attempts at an instrumental.
Recorded Oct 24, 1963 and released on The Bootleg Series 1-3 (1991)
The trick in this song is to let the chords begin on the last 8th note of the previous bar, and to emphasise this note wherever it figures as a melody tone, such as in the first measure.
Recorded Oct 24, 1963 during the sessions for The Times They Are a-Changin’
Capo 2nd fret (sounding key A major)
The strumming is very square, and only with downstrokes.
Recorded june 1964
Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)
Chords:
D7/f# 200212 (or 200210, which would be called D9/f#) C/g 332010 C/b x20010 (not really C/b, but that's what he plays) G6 322003 (drop the 1st string and play 32000x-32200x-32300x, G7 323003 that's the only way to get this one smooth)
Intro:
Recorded Jan 21, 1966 during the Blonde on Blonde sessions
The Piano song par exellence, it takes some skill and some will (and it’s revealing!) to make it sound good on a guitar. The original is one half tone higher, in C# major, so use a capo on the 1st fret.
Note the similarity with Like A Rolling Stone
