LAY LADY LAY by Bob Dylan
Play to reggae beat and rythm.
This is the way I've played this song for 40 years, both in bands and solo.
The chords as shown by default are wrong. You want barred chords:
Am 5th fret
Cm#7 4th fret
Gm 3rd fret
Bm7 2nd fret
E 7th fret
A 5th fret
C#m 4th fret
Bm 2nd fret
and so on.
If you pull off/hammer on the barre finger, you'll get nice extra bass notes in too. Enjoy
