(It’s All Over Now) Baby Blue
-----------------------------------------------------------
By Bob Dylan
The Chocolate Watchband
This is a Dylan cover that I saw CWB play live on YouTube. They did a studio cut in
that has more stuff going on, but the main riffs haven’t changed much. The lead guitar is
12-string electric and holds down the picked pattern riffs and contributes arpeggiated
during the verses. The rhythm guitar holds standard chord positions. Check out
McGuinn and the Byrds’ Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn for some great ideas on
chords on the 12-string. BTW- These are the CWB lyrics. The CWB sings an abridged
of the Dylan lyric and make up their own verses.

Leave your steppin’ stone behind girl, start anew

Well, strike another match, girl, don’t start anew, don’t start anew
