Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.
Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 when he began playing in Dinkytown, Minneapolis while attending the University of Minnesota. Shortly after starting to play he changed his stage name to Bob Dylan, after being influenced by the poetry of Dylan Thomas before legally changing his name in 1962.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is not the same key and these are not the identical chords used by Mr. Dylan on his recording but they work and the key can be changed to suit your voice. This is an old folk song and I've added the chords the way I remember first hearing it. It may well have been Joan Baez where I heard it or even somewhere else. I do apologize for any misunderstanding caused by me in using Bob Dylan as the artist and I have been unable to change that in the heading.

CGC Get you a copper kettle,
CGC Get you a copper coil, EAm Fill it with new-made corn mash DmG And never more you'll toil.

VERSE 3: CGC My daddy, he made whiskey; CGC My grand-daddy, he did too. EAm We ain't paid no whiskey tax DmG Since seventeen ninety-two.
