--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shelter from the Storm ? Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Bob Dylan Shelter from the Storm (1975) (Bob Dylan) From: "Blood on the Tracks" Alternate version on the ?Jerry Maguire? soundtrack (a 1975 outtake with an extra verse, see below) I offer two versions here: 1. open tuning (D-A-D-F#-A-D + capo 2nd fret) 2. standard tuning --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS 1. open tuning 2. standard tuning + capo 2nd fret D-A-D-F#-A-D E-A-D-G-B-E E 0-0-0-0 -0-0 E 0-2-2-1-0-0 Bsus4/D# x-4-2-3 -0-0 Bsus4/D# x-6-4-4-0-0 A(/C#) x-2-0-1 -2-0 A x-0-2-2-2-0 Aadd9(/C#) x-2-0-1 -0-0 Asus2 x-0-2-2-0-0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the basic pattern of the changes in the verse and the instrumental interludes. Whatever your strumming pattern may be, try to change the chords where indicated. I tabbed it out for the open tuning here, but the rhythm is the same if you use the standard tuning, of course.
