Bob Dylan - Dont Pity Me guitar tab

Don't Pity Me

Performed by Bob Dylan in Joliette, Quebec, July 31 1989 (a one-off).

Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem and Jamie Lovinger

On my tape (thanks, Jamie), it sounds as if he actually plays it in F# major. On the other hand, the final chord sounds very much like a G shape chord, which is also much easier to play. I append a version in G major at the end.

The lyrics are full of blanks - the word within brackets are not really meaningful suggestions, just words that sound like what he's singing, mainly to have something to place the chords on...
