--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bob Dylan From: "Modern Times" (2006) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I tabbed it out in A shapes here because of the fuller sound. It’s probably easier to play in G (transpose this tab down -2 steps). In order to match the key of the original, then use a capo 4th fret. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- transpose: - -2 capo: 2nd fret 4th fret play: A G key: B B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
