NOTES

According to Eyolf Østrem (dylanchords.info) Bob Dylan played this in open A tuning (E A C# e a c#) with the

capo on 3 on Times They are a Changin’ (1964), which puts it in the key of C. In some live recordings Dylan

seems to play it in standard tuning in G (relative to capo).

This is a alternative version to play in standard tuning in C without a capo. Some of the other tabs on UG

suggest using Am instead of Em/B, which sounds fine but I think Em/B is closer to the original, with the

bass line descending from the C note to the B.

The alternative chords and shapes given above can be used to add variation. Another simple variation is to

walk up to the C chord on the 5th string via a and b (open and 2nd frets) on the first two syllables of the

first line.

During the harmonica parts between verses Bob plays similar chord progressions to those in the verses.

I will post another alternative tab of this song in drop D which sounds better to my ear, and closer to the

album recording.

Down the

street the dogs are

barkin'

And the

day is a-gettin'

dark

As the

night comes in a-

fallin'

The

dogs will lose their

bark

And the

silent night will

shatter

From the

sounds inside my

mind

As I'm

one too many

mornings

And a t

housand mi

les be

hind

From the

crossroads of my

doorstep,

My e

yes start to

fade.

And I

turn my head back

to the room

Where my

love and I have

laid.

And I

gaze back to the

street

The

sidewalk and the

sign.

As I'm

one too many

mornings

And a t

housand mi

les behin

It's a

restless, hungry

feeling

That don't

mean no one no

good.

When

everything I'm

saying,

You can

say it just as

good.

You are right from

your side,

And

I am right from

mine.

We’re both

just one too

many mornings

And a t

housand mi

les behin
