Capo: 7 Tuning: E A D G B E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blowin' in the Wind – Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Bob Dylan From: "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard As of December 2018, Dylan has performed this song in concert roughly 1,560 times (http://bobdylan.com/songs/blowin-wind/) in very different arrangements. This probably is the reason why people disagree so violently about keys, chords, capo positions etc. Dylan changes all of these ever so often – it all depends on which version one is talking about. For this tab, I had a closer look at the studio version released on "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in 1963 and tried to put down what I heard. This version is in D major, but Dylan is using a capo 7th fret here and is playing G, C and D shapes. capo: 7th fret play: G key: D For chords in original key, transpose this tab -5 to D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL VOICINGS E-A-D-G-B-e G/B x-2-0-0-0-3 D/A x-0-0-2-3-2 C/B x-2(2)0-1-0 D/F# 2-x-0-2-3-2 C/G 3-x-2-0-1-0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | G | % | [Verse 1]
