Transpose 0
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Song: Mighty Quinn
Artist: Manfred mann
Composer: Bob Dylan
Tabbed by DJ ['DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com] 1st July 2015
DROPPED TUNING: On the original 1968 single the guitar is tuned
down a semi-tone, [still played in C, as the tab] but after
de-tuning the song will then sound in the recorded key of B.
For other instruments set the transpose function to minus 1 to
show the chords in the key of B, then use the menu to select flats.

To match the original recording on guitar:
De-tune all the strings down a semi-tone to D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#
Using a chromatic tuner helps.
Alternatively, if you don't want to detune, using the transpose
function set to +4 and it will display the song in G, then by using
a capo at the 4th fret it will sound in the original key of B.
NOTE: In the later re-recorded version by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
they play it in C, so no detuning required for that version,
but the arrangement is quite different.
Chords are named as if still in standard tuning:
C = x35553 F/A = x03211 F = 133211
G/B = x20033 G = 320033
Emphasise the bass note of each chord. Chords in brackets are an
option as accompaniment, they're not actually played on the
recording and are only suggested by the melody.
