"Country Pie"
by Bob Dylan
from Nashville Skyline

NOTES:
- Rhythm for (A-C#m-F#m/B-E-A) might be difficult to grasp at first but it helps 
to think of it as I've just written it, two sets of 3 chords (1) A-C#m-F#m and then (2) B-E-A

- More of a piano/bass blues-based song with an emphasis on rhythm and attitude so 
the structure is a little loose, but this will get you a little closer than the previous chord tab.

- Chords on bridge, all major.

- Capo on 2 gives you lots of open chords but you'll have to transcribe everything 
1 whole step down.
