Bob Dylan - Almost Done guitar tab

Almost Done

Words (?) and music Bob Dylan

Played, more or less improvised, on the Verona and Beverly Theatre rehearsals, May 1984

Tabbed and transcribed (sort of) by Eyolf Østrem

It seemed meaningless to try and transcribe the mumbling on the Beverly Theatre version (May 23). Verona was a little less meaningless...

It might not do

It's already done

Gonna be lucky,

would you hold me close

hold me close

or say goodbye

[moon up by night]

in [the empty] the sky
