Subject: BABY, STOP CRYING by Bob Dylan
That opening riff (which I call the "F riff") is:
E --3-----3-5~---|
B ----4----------| the (3) just indicates that the bass plays an F note
G ------5--------| throughout the "F riff". Actually the bass plays
D -(3)-----------| octaves of the F note.
A ---------------|
E ---------------|
NOTE: The lyrics are the vocals that only Dylan sings and not the back-up
singers, so don't be confused with the chording.
