The Man In The Long Black Coat tab by Joan Osborne

Tabs

Artist: Joan Osborne (originally Bob Dylan)
 Song: The Man in the Long Black Coat
Album: Relish

This is an excellent remake of the Dylan song. I'd started to work it out,
before I saw a file of it in the archives, but it has wrong chords, and no
solo, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Chords used: Dm(x57765)    Bb(x13331)
       Cm(x35543)    FF (133211)
       Gm(355333)

Intro: DmDm C minorCm G minorGm  x2 (first time is piano or something, then
            arpeggiate on guitar)

Verses:  G minorGm     Bb majorBb    FF    DmDm
      Crickets a chirpin'.................

           G minorGm     Bb majorBb      FF     G minorGm
      There's a soft cotton dress.....................

    This chord pattern is done twice in each verse, then the chorus:

      FF
      She never said nothing........................

         G minorGm       Bb majorBb     FF     G minorGm
      She's gone, ..................................

The change in the song comes about 2:30 into the song, there are two chords
I cannot work out, though the others are definitely correct. the ones I'm
not sure about I'll write as F* (it sounds like something close to an F, as
the change between it and the Bb majorBb is very subtle)

      F*              Bb majorBb
      There are no mistakes........................

        G minorGm           FF        G minorGm
      It's true sometimes,.........................

      F*            Bb majorBb
      People don't live...........................

            G minorGm      Bb majorBb     FF      G minorGm
      She gave her heart...................................

Then comes the solo:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-10-----------------------10-----------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----10b(11)rp8h10b(12)-------10-8-10-10brbrp8p0---------8h10b(11)-8--|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------8h10--------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-15b--17b-15-17-15----------15--------------15b(19)~~----17b(19)-----|
D MajorD|-------------------17-15-------17~~b(20)-----------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------17------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-15b(17)r--17p15-------17\10~~---------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-----------------15---------------10h11p10\8h10b(11)--10-8-----------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Key: 10b(11) =bend note at tenth fret to make it sound like the note at
       the 11th fret
      r =release bend
      p =pulloff
      h =hammeron
      \ =slide down fretboard
      ~ =vibrato note

Finally, there are a number of nice little fillers put in, I'll leave you to
work them out yourself, but they mostly follow the shape of the G minorGm chord,
eg:      e|------------|
       BB|------------|
       G+G|-5b(6)r-3h5-|

Hope that's nice and easy to follow. Don't hesitate to contact me, I like to
get responses. Thanks,
