Here's the first verse of Bob Dylan's Desolation Row, off of his Highway 61 Revisited
album. You can just apply these chords to the rest of the song, because I don't feel
like typing out 11 minute's worth of lyrics.
First of all, sometimes when he's playing the E chord, he throws in what I believe is
called an Esus4 which is played like this:
e|--------0----------|
B|--------0----------|
G|--------2----------|
D|--------2----------|
A|--------2----------|
E|--------0----------|
You sort of have to listen to the song to know when he does it.
So, here's the chords.
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
E
They're selling post cards of the hanging,
A E
They're painting the passports brown.
B7
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bob_dylan/desolation_row_crd_ver_2.html ]
A E
The circus is in town.
Here comes the blind commissioner,
A E
They've got him in a trance.
B7
One hand is tied to the tightrope walker,
A E
The other is in his pants.
A
And the riot squad, they're restless,
E A
They need somewhere to go.
E B7
As lady and I look out tonight,
A E
From Desolation Row.
