--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuck Inside Of Mobile (with the Memphis Blues Again) - Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Bob Dylan Stuck Inside Of Mobile (with the Memphis Blues Again) (1966) (Bob Dylan) From: "Blonde on Blonde" Interesting mistake that I came across when I aligned chords and lyrics. It is 2:43 into the song (verse 4): The line reads âWhen he built a fire on Main Streetâ in the lyrics on bobdylan.com, but what you actually hear on the record is âWhen I speak ... built a fire on Main Streetâ. Dylan either botched up the line, starting with the wrong words and then quickly getting back on track or it is a bad edit. Vocal flub is more probable, though (I read somewhere that the recording on the album is the full and final take 20). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS (capo 4th fret) E-A-D-G-B-E Csus4 x-3-3-0-1-x G/B x-2-0-0-0(3) C/G 3-x-2-0-1-0 F/G 3-x-3-2-1-1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo 4th fret INTRO Csus4
