Blowin' In The Wind - Bob Dylan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jonas
Capo 7th
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was amazed I did not find a version of this classic that is EXACTLY like

(Slash-)Chords are posted up here. You will find explanatory tabs of them
further down.
