Finnaly ive figured out how to play this all those other tabs rnt very good and this one

then play the D chord part
 
[intro/riff] : d(1) d(2) slide to d(3) slide back to d(2)
 
D/B
Darkness at the break of noon
D/A
Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon
D/B
Eclipses both the sun and moon
D/Bb
To understand you know too soon
                              riff
There is no sense in trying.
 
D/B
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
D/A
Suicide remarks are torn
D/C
From the fools gold mouthpiece
D/B
The hollow horn plays wasted words
D/Bb
Proved to warn
 
That he not busy being born
               riff
Is busy dying.
 
D/B
Temptation's page flies out the door
D/A
You follow, find yourself at war
D/C
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
D/B
You feel to moan but unlike before
D/Bb
You discover
D/Bb
That you'd just be
D/Bb
One more person crying.
 
D              A
So don't fear if you hear
D               G
A foreign sound to you ear
D    A G      A   D                 Riff
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.
 
Thats it just repeat for the rest of the song

Mr. Murphy if you pay attention to studio outakes of Bob Dylan, it appears that Dylan has the capo on the fifth fret. How about you actually post a score before you critique someone else's work

It's actually in Double Drop D (E and e are both tuned to D). Play with a capo on 2nd fret. d----0-0-0--3-3/5----------------------------------------------- B----3-3-3--1-1/3----------------------------------------------- G----2-2-2--2-2/4----------------------------------------------- D----0-0-0--0-0/0----------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------
