DYLANCHORDS.COM UNOFFICIAL MIRROR

Nov 13: For all you fingerpickers out there: Thousand Ways by the Tallest Man on Earth. For more Tallest Man tabs, check out the latest lesson in the blog.

Sept 20: Oxford Town is too great a song to have such a crappy tab as so far. Thanks to Bendik, who wanted to play it, thus making me realize the poor state of the tab.

Sept 20: Dylanchords going 2.0: I am finally working seriously on a makeover, to turn this html dinosaur into something that is both more pleasant to handle for me and more useful for the rest of you.
For that, I may need some help -- anything from experienced drupal hackers to ordinary user with some hours to spare for some tedious slave labour.
I've written up some info about the process here. Go there if you're interested in giving a helping hand.

July 18: I've decided to include some of the Traveling Wilburys songs.

July 10: I finally added the index page to The Witmark Demos. Most of the songs were tabbed already; the only one (still) missing is Poor Boy Blues, which really isn't more than a light revision of Smokestack Lightning.

July 9: An imperfect attempt at One For The Road (Basement Tapes outtake, 1967)

July 8 2011: This is an unforgiveable omission – on my part for not tabbing it earlier, and on Dylan’s for not finishing it: Positively Van Gogh (Denver Hotel Room, March 13, 1966)
There's also the Isle of Wight version of Wild Mountain Thyme

Announcement: The updates are few and far between these days. This is in part because I don't follow Dylan's every move as closely as I used to, so I don't keep track of what just has to be tabbed – it's not like in the old days when I tabbed out new live versions almost before he had played them. So if you come across new live renditions that are not included but should be, drop me a note (mail link to the left).
My rule of thumb is that I tab interesting (re)arrangements: new chord sequences, lyric changes, etc., but if it's just an interesting solo, then I will usually not do it.

Reminder #1: There's more to this site than just the chords. Check out the professors section, with the articles about Dylan and his music. Most of it is collected and nicely typeset (if I may say so) in a pdf book, but I have also prepared html versions of the individual articles.
I can recommend the chapters about the guitar playing on Don't Think Twice, about the “mathematical music” in Chronicles, and the discussion about plagiarism on Modern Times and the previous albums. And if you still have time, or want a general overview over Dylan's musical carreer, that's what The Uneven Heart is meant to give.

Reminder #2: There's also the blog, with my Last words on “Can’t Wait”, and, ehem, a brilliant new piece about a cursed class traitor …

I welcome comments.

What you are looking at is an unofficial mirror of Eyolf Østrem's dylanchords.com, much of which is temporarily unavailable due to the American Music Publishers' Association (MPA)'s "rattling of sabres against tab sites". Thankfully I have been able to track down a recent copy of the site, which I have uploaded as a service to fellow guitar-playing Dylan fans who may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

This mirror is also available as a ZIP file which you are encouraged to download in case this mirror is forced offline.

Please see the Mail page if you would like to contact Eyolf Østrem, the creator of the original Dylanchords site.
