Sounds best "unplugged". I heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals, resonator slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background accordion were playing. My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one!

Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the following, use at your discretion!) I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?) There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect) (You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like would be F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords as shown. Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.
