Chimes of Freedom
(Bob Dylan)
Lyrics are from Dylan's "Another Side of Bob Dylan." This version is
from Roger McGuinn's latest (5/23/95) live shows, per my recollection.
The 12-string guitar is tuned down 1/2 step. The variations between
Dylan and The Byrds are shown in brackets -- square for Dylan's lyrics
that The Byrds/McGuinn left out and pointy for those they added.
