This tab goes to complete John Fair\'s chords transcription
of Bob Dylan\'s \'I Want You\'.
Notice this is just a one-guitar arrangement of the song!
If there\'s two guitars around, one strums the chords and the
other plays the high notes of the arrangement.
Put a capo on the 5th fret of your guitar.
Play C for F, Em for Am, Am for Dm, G for C and F for Bb.
This is the chord pattern than can be heard all over the song:
F Am Dm C
|---5---5-6p5---5-|---5---5-6p5---5-|---5---5-6p5-----|-----------------|
|---6---------8---|---5---------8---|---6---------8-6-|-8--6p5----------|
|-----5-----------|-----5-----------|-----7-----------|-5------7p5------|
|-----7-----------|-----7-----------|-----7-----------|-----------------|
|-8---------------|-----------------|-5---------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-5---------------|-----------------|-8---------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dylan_bob/i_want_you_tab.html ]
Notice that the really important notes in each bar are the bass
and the last 4 ones sequence. As to the rest, just do what best suits
your techinque and taste.
