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. Chord Tab: G C9 C9/B C D Am
