Recorded in 1961 (Minnesota Tape) Released on the Bonus CD of “Love and Theft” (2001) and "The Bootleg Series, Vol 7: No Direction Home" (2005) Tuning: ----- + capo 1st fret / Standard tuning I don't really know whether a capo is used or whether the strings are tuned to the key one hears. For the sake of convenience, I’d suggest “Open G” as they are in standard tuning whereas one would have to retune all six strings for -----). If you don't want to take the trouble of re-tuning the strings, I added voicings for standard tuning in the CHORDS section below. Dylan uses a Travis picking with many variations. I include a tab of the basic riff below that can be used to figure out a picking accompaniment or a version using a plectrum, too. capo: 1st fret play: G key: Ab ------------ Basic Pattern 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + d |0---------0-----|------------|------------|------0---------| B 1/3---------3-----|------------1/3-----1---0--(1)|------1---1-----| G 2/4-----4-------4-|------------2/4-----2---0---0-|------0---0-----| D |0------------|0------------|0------------2-|----------2-----| G |0------------|0------------|0------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + d |------0---------|------------|------------| B |1-----1---1-----|1------------|----------1-----| G |0-----0---0-----|2------------|------0---2-----| D |2---------2-----|0------------|------0---------| G |0------------|0------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + d |0-----0---------|------0---------| B 1/3-----3---------|------3---------| D |0---------0-----|0---------0-----| G |0------------|0------------| |------------|------------| ------------ CHORDS Because of the open tuning almost all the chords have a “g” as their root G x-0-0-4-3-0 and x-0-0-0-0-0-0 3-x-0-0-0-3 D7sus4 x-0-0-2-1-0 (= D7sus4/G) 3-x-0-2-1-3 (= D7sus4/G) or 0-0-0-2-1-0 (= D7sus4) ------------ [Intro] | | % | % | | % | D7sus4 | % | | % | | | % | [Verse 1] I was young when I left home But I been out a-ramblin’ ’round And I never wrote a letter to my home To my home Lord, to my home And I never wrote a letter to my home [Verse 2] It was just the other day I was bringing home my pay When I met an old friend I used to know Said your mother’s dead and gone Baby sister’s all gone wrong And your daddy needs you home right away [Verse 3] Not a shirt on my back Not a penny on my name Well I can’t go home this-a-way This-a-way Lord, Lord, Lord And I can’t go home this-a-way [Interlude] | | % | % | | % | D7sus4 | % | | % | | | % | [Verse 4] If you miss the train I’m on Count the days I’m gone You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, honey baby Lord Lord Lord And you’ll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles [Verse 5] I’m playing on a track Ma would come and whoop me back On them trestles down by old Jim McKay’s When I pay the debt I owe To the commissary store I will pawn my watch and chain and go home Go home Lord Lord Lord I will pawn my watch and chain and go home [Interlude] | | % | % | | % | D7sus4 | % | | % | | | % | [Verse 6] Used to tell Ma sometimes When I see them riding blinds Gonna make me a home out in the wind In the wind Lord in the wind Make me a home out in the wind [Verse 7] I don’t like it in the wind Wanna go back home again But I can’t go home this-a-way This-a-way Lord Lord Lord And I can’t go home this-a-way [Interlude] | | % | % | | % | D7sus4 | % | | % | | | % | [Verse 8] I was young when I left home But I been out a-ramblin’ ’round And I never wrote a letter to my home To my home Lord Lord Lord And I never wrote a letter to my home [Coda] | | % | % | | % | D7sus4 | % | |
