Written by Bob Dillon, covered by Adele, Garth Brooks and others.

https://app.box.com/s/tq5ly5juuthn1qg1ye90

Simple one track recording straight from the G70 main outs to one stereo track on Zoom R16, touch of EQ and compression in Cubase.

Can't really mess with this one not enough tracks.

Beautiful, Col! Now I'm going to have to learn that song.
Oh well, it's too cold for golf.

Hi Don

Here are the lyrics and chords.

The A7 D7 G on the end of the lines are for the words "to make you feel my love"

Regards

Col

Thanks Col, actually I immediately left the forum and started learning the song.
This process might be interesting for others.
First I listened to your wonderful version. Then I went to youtube and listened to Garth's and then Adele's version.
Then I googled the lyrics and chords, so I don't have to write them down word by word.
Garth's key (D) fits me best. I copied and pasted the lyrics with chord changes I found on www.countrytabs.com into a word processor (Open Office, it's free).
Then I opened my laptop, which is on the second tier of my keyboard stand, and copied the file from my PC.
Then I again turned on Garth's version and played along with it on the keyboard, trying to find the best style to match.
Then I turned off the Youtube song and played it on my own.
Then I returned here to check this thread and found Col's chords. There are a couple of subtle differences, but not much. I will adjust my file as needed.
Now I will play the song a few more times, adjusting voices and learning the melody.
On my next job, Thursday, I will be sure to play it a couple of times with the recorder on, then critique it on the way home through my car system. Then I'll plug headphones into the Tascam recorder and listen again. Next morning I'll listen once again, because my hearing will be different after rest, and make notes if needed on changes that will make it better. Same thing Friday night. . .
This is basically the process I use to learn every new song.
Thanks for your inspiration, Col!

Damned good one, Col. Like Don, I gotta learn that one as well.

Beautiful! And I love the chord changes.
If I were a singer I would no doubt include this song in my repertoire.
Col, have you tried to replace the string sound in the style with a Mmmhhh choir?
Also, what drum set did you use? The snare doesn't seem from the V-Pop set.

Very nicely done, Col ... clap

I had posted this song on S-Z a while back using the "Unplugged Ballad 2" style on the Pa600 ... to me, the key to the song is using the 'Bass Inversion' feature to provide the descending bass line ...

Don ... 'D' is the key for me as well ...

It's a Bob Dylan tune. Spent the whole summer playing this one (bass player is obsessed with Bob!). Pretty hoary changes, IMHO, but I guess that's Bob's thing. Great lyrics, not so great changes..!

Diki are the changes Col posted the same as Dylan used? The chart I found used quite a few on bass chords, indicated by slashes.
I'm not great at doing those live but this song seems to need them.
