[G]
[N] Can't tell what that is yet, huh?
Oh, but you probably already saw it in the title
Today I'm gonna go back to one of the first songs.
I remember learning as a little kid and it's Blown in the Wind
Bob Dylan
great campfire tune
you know kind of a
protest song on the state of life at the time
Anyway, we don't need to go there
What I just want to talk about in Blown in the Wind is this is a really simple folk song can be done with three
Chords one four and five in whatever key you decide you want to do it in now Bob plays a lot of his songs
with
random chord changes meaning he doesn't always go to the same chord in the same spot in the verse or the chorus as
He means to he doesn't really care
So his point is to sing you the song and if the chords don't always match up don't worry about it
I may do a bigger long a longer lesson on you belong to me.
Is that the one?
Anyway, that is a great example where he sings through four or five verses and it's not so about the fifth verse that he gets
It the way he wanted it.
I think and that's the way the birds did it.
But anyhow, that's
Enough rambling about Bob so Blown in the Wind can be done very simply with GC and [G] D
How many roads must a man walk
[C] Before you call [G] him a man
so that one
[N] One measure of one G one measure of four two measures of one and then that done again in the second line
Basically, there are three
[Ab] Lines worth of stuff in this song in the [G] second line
It's the same [C] thing one G to [G] four back to one and the answer to that is one
[C] to four to [D] five
[A] So [F] that's what's happening in the second [N] line each time and then the third line is just like the first now
Some variations wait, let me tell you about the chorus first.
The chorus goes to four C
D
[G] G and E [A] minor is the best chord here.
[E] He only does this once in a while in different in various recordings
I've listened to a lot of them.
Trust me
the best chord to use for your campfire version is E minor right there [Em] and then back to C and
[D] [G] Back to G [E] now two little variations
[Gb] That we can talk about in the chorus Bob really in the in the original recording the one on oh, oh, it's escaping my mind
Bringing it all back home
Anyway, um in [C] on that recording he usually went back to C [N] in that case also
Well depends that recording is actually capoed way up the neck, too
So he's done this in a lot of different keys a lot of different capos
You can do a song like this in any key you want using any chords you want as long as you kind of stay with the relative
layout of where the ones go where the fours go and where the fives go and six if you throw that you minor in there so
I'm unnecessarily complicating this for a campfire song.
I should just shut up and play it, huh?
Wait, I should tell you one more thing and that is in the second line
Sixth measure where you see a C chord
That's a really good place to throw in an a minor chord to break up some of the monotony and he frequently does that
In performances of it
So two optional things that are not in the music sixth line of the sixth measure of the second line where it says C
Could be an a minor and the fourth measure of the chorus could be a C.
Yeah, I like a minor better
Here we go from the top.
Oh country [F] cut type thing hit a bass note on the [G] first beat and
The softer bass note on the third beat [C] or [G]
any strum you want it doesn't really matter
[G] second line
I'm gonna use a minor here third [Am] [D] [G] line [C]
[G] [C]
[G] and the [C] chorus
[D] [G]
You're the e [Em] minor
[C] [G]
That's [Bb] it.
That's all you need to be able to do to play
Blowing in the wind in the key of G if that's too low for you
That's a reasonable key for me because [N] that low note G that it would keep coming [C] back down to
Answer my friend is blowing in the
[G] [E] Spot as low as I [C] can get
[G] [E] Has an F sharp down there too that I couldn't even hit so I would really need to either capo this or play it [A] in the
key of a
It'd be much better.
Now.
We use a D and E
Hopefully you can transpose that up a step if a would be a better key for you or put a capo at the second fret
Okay again enough details for what is supposed to be a three-minute lesson on blowing in the wind but a
little bit more information
Could
