Positively 4th Street– Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bob Dylan
Positively 4th Street (1965)
(Dylan)
Non-album single
Now on: “Side Tracks” and several Greatest Hits compilations
The bass sometimes plays notes other that the root. I indicated these
chords as slash chords here. It is of course possible to play them
as regular chords and just leave out the note after the slash.
The original recording is in F#. The live versions I know are mostly in
G, though (easy to play and sounding great; maybe the guitar is tuned down
one semi-tome on the original version?). To play G, one would have to
transpose this tab up 3 steps and leave off the capo. Enjoy!
