The Man In The Long Black Coat tab by Joan Osborne

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)       F (133211)
             Gm(355333)

Intro: Dm  Cm  Gm   x2 (first time is piano or something, then
                        arpeggiate on guitar)

Verses:    Gm         Bb        F        Dm
           Crickets a chirpin'.................

                     Gm          Bb           F         Gm
           There's a soft cotton dress.....................

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

           F
           She never said nothing........................

                 Gm             Bb         F          Gm
           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 is very subtle)

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

                Gm                      F               Gm
           It's true sometimes,.........................

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

                        Gm           Bb         F            Gm
           She gave her heart...................................

Then comes the solo:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10-----------------------10-----------------------------------------|
D|----10b(11)rp8h10b(12)-------10-8-10-10brbrp8p0---------8h10b(11)-8--|
A|---------------------------------------------------8h10--------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-15b--17b-15-17-15----------15--------------15b(19)~~----17b(19)-----|
D|-------------------17-15-------17~~b(20)-----------------------------|
A|-------------------------17------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-15b(17)r--17p15-------17\10~~---------------------------------------|
D|-----------------15---------------10h11p10\8h10b(11)--10-8-----------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

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 Gm chord,
eg:           e|------------|
              B|------------|
              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,
