NOTES
According to Eyolf Østrem (dylanchords.info) Bob Dylan played this in open A tuning (E A C# e a c#) with the
capo on 3 on Times They are a Changin’ (1964), which puts it in the key of C. In some live recordings Dylan
seems to play it in standard tuning in G (relative to capo).
This is a alternative version to play in standard tuning in C without a capo. Some of the other tabs on UG
suggest using Am instead of Em/B, which sounds fine but I think Em/B is closer to the original, with the
bass line descending from the C note to the B.
The alternative chords and shapes given above can be used to add variation. Another simple variation is to
walk up to the C chord on the 5th string via a and b (open and 2nd frets) on the first two syllables of the
first line.
During the harmonica parts between verses Bob plays similar chord progressions to those in the verses.
I will post another alternative tab of this song in drop D which sounds better to my ear, and closer to the
album recording.

Down the Cstreet the dogs are Em/Bbarkin'
And the F/Aday is a-gettin' Cdark C
As the C/Gnight comes in a-Em/Bfallin'
The F/Adogs will lose their Gbark C Cmaj7/B
And the Csilent night will Em/Bshatter
From the F/Asounds inside my Cmind C
C * Em/B
As I'm one too many mornings
And a tF/Chousand miG/Dles beChind Cmaj7/B
From the Ccrossroads of my Em/Bdoorstep,
My eF/Ayes start to Cfade. C
And I C/Gturn my head back Em/Bto the room
Where my F/Alove and I have Glaid. C Cmaj7/B
And I Cgaze back to the Em/Bstreet
The F/Asidewalk and the Csign. C

As I'm one too many mornings
And a tF/Chousand miG/Dles behinCd Cmaj7/B
It's a Crestless, hungry Em/Bfeeling
That don't F/Amean no one no Cgood. C

You can F/Asay it just as Ggood. C Cmaj7/B

And F/AI am right from Cmine. C
