Ring them Bells - Bob Dylan

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bob Dylan
Ring them Bells (1989)
(Bob Dylan)
From: "Oh Mercy"
Following the main vocal line, Dylan plays a lot of changes on the piano on
his recording that are hard to do on a guitar. I skipped most of them for
this tab and stuck to the underlying chord (mostly C).
