Shelter from the Storm – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Open D / Standard
Bob Dylan
Shelter from the Storm (1975)
(Bob Dylan)
From: "Blood on the Tracks"
Alternate version on the “Jerry Maguire” soundtrack
(a 1975 outtake with an extra verse, see below)
I offer two versions here:
1. open tuning (D-A-D-F#-A-D + capo 2nd fret)
2. standard tuning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORDS
1. open tuning 2. standard tuning
+ capo 2nd fret
D-A-D-F#-A-D E-A-D-G-B-E
E 0-0-0-0 -0-0 E 0-2-2-1-0-0
Bsus4/D# x-4-2-3 -0-0 Bsus4/D# x-6-4-4-0-0
A(/C#) x-2-0-1 -2-0 A x-0-2-2-2-0
Aadd9(/C#) x-2-0-1 -0-0 Asus2 x-0-2-2-0-0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the basic pattern of the changes in the verse and the instrumental
interludes. Whatever your strumming pattern may be, try to change the
chords where indicated. I tabbed it out for the open tuning here, but the
rhythm is the same if you use the standard tuning, of course.
