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!
I figured this out a few years back when I bought the video "Don't Look Back". You see Dylan detune and some fingerings when he plays "Baby Blue" for Donovan in the hotel. (By the way, in "Don't Look Back" Dylan capos 2, but Donovan's guitar is tuned 1/2 tone below concert, so capo 1 to play along with the video.)
Bringing It All Back Home version Capo 4, bottom E tuned down to C
Note-> CADGBe ++++++ C 032010 Cadd4 033010 (add the little finger on the 4th string) G 220000 (actually an Em7, but this is what he plays for G) F 003211 Dm 200231 (use the thumb to fret the 6th string) E x22100 (or maybe E7: x22130)
(Note: be sure to strum the 6th string to keep the distinctive droning C note going.)
[Intro]
C and Cadd4 (hammering onto the 4th string at the 2nd fret)
[Verse 1]
GFC You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last GFC But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast DmFC Yonder stands your orphan with his gun DmFC Crying like a fire in the sun E7FG Look out the saints are coming through DmFC And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 2]
GFC The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. GFC Take what you have gathered from coincidence. DmFC The empty-handed painter from your streets DmFC Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. E7FG The sky, too, is folding under you DmFC And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 3]
GFC All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. GFC Your empty handed armies, they're all going home. DmFC The lover who just walked out your door DmFC Has taken all his blankets from the floor. E7FG The carpet, too, is moving under you DmFC And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 4]
GFC Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you. GFC Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. DmFC The vagabond who's rapping at your door DmFC Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. E7FG Strike another match, go start anew DmFC And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
