            ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Blowin' in the Wind – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Bob Dylan
From: "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

As of December 2018, Dylan has performed this song in concert roughly 1,560
times (http://bobdylan-/songs/blowin-wind/) in very different arrangements.
This probably is the reason why people disagree so violently about keys,
chords, capo positions etc. Dylan changes all of these ever so often –
it all depends on which version one is talking about.

For this tab, I had a closer look at the studio version released on "The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in 1963 and tried to put down what I heard. This
version is in D major, but Dylan is using a capo 7th fret here and is
playing G, C and D shapes.

capo: 7th fret
play: G
key: D

For chords in original key, transpose this tab -5 to D.

That too many people have died?
