All I Really Want to Do - chords, tab and comments


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.
