All I Really Want to Do - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

Dylan in the good mood from "Another Side of Bob Dylan" 1964, studio version included with "Greatest Hits Vol.II". The song successfully covered by the Byrds on "Mr. Tambourine Man" 1965. Actually I like Dylan better at the opposite corner. I hardly ever play this song any more, but it has resided in my songbook since the very beginning, and might as well stay there. The use of open-tune-like chords makes it a bit more interesting to play, than using the plain chords.

A9         E5        H5          E5
I ain't looking to compete with you
A9        E5       H5      E5
beat or cheat or mistreat you
A9    E5       H5    E5
simplify you  classify you
A9     E5      H5   E5
deny  defy or crusify you
E5     A9            E5  A9          E5
all I really want to do is baby be friends with you
