Bob Dylan - Country Pie

“country pie”
by bob dylan
from nashville skyline

notes :
– rhythm for ( A – C#m – F#m/B – E – A ) might be difficult to grasp at first but it helps
to think of it as i’ve just written it , two sets of 3 chords ( 1 ) A – C#m – F#m and then ( 2 ) B – E – A

– more of a piano/Bass blues – based song with an emphasis on rhythm and attitude so
the structure is a little loose , but this will get you a little closer than the previous chord tab .

– chords on bridge , all major .

– capo on 2 gives you lots of open chords but you’ll have to transcribe everything
1 whole step down .
