Tuning:

This is mostly the same tab by Harlan L Thompson under Bob Dylan, but for the Redbird version, I like to tune the e string to F# and keep my fingers on the 3rd fret of the e and B strings at all times like: Bm G D A F#|----------3----3-----3--------| B|----------3----3-----3--------| G|----4-----0----2-----2--------| D|----4-----0----0-----2--------| A|----2-----2----0-----0--------| E|----------3-------------------| If you don't want to tune your guitar down, he hits a note on the e string with the G, D, and A chords on the 5th fret, tuning the e string just makes it easier. There's also this fill at certain parts of the song in the background: F#|--1-0-----------| e|---3--2---0--------| B|-------5---3----| B|-------------3-----| G|----------------| or G|-------------------| D|----------------| D|-------------------| A|----------------| A|-------------------| E|----------------| E|-------------------| [Intro] D [Verse 1]
