Aaron's work is close with only a few errors in his translation. I =
remember Eric Burden of The Animals performing this song rather than Bob =
Dylan. So when I saw it listed on the site I wanted to add some =
additional details to this translation to help clean it up.

This voicing should omit the e (6th) as part of the pattern.
Am ^ v v v ^ ^
E ------------------------
A -----0------------------
D --------2------------2--
G -----------2------1-----
B --------------1---------
e -----------------------

If you have listed to The Animals play this song, you'll hear an organ =
in the background. The chords are the same as the guitar. The only =
difference is the organist arpeggiates the chords during the verses and =
plays the chords as a whole during the chorus. It is a pretty simple =
pattern that is easy to pick up when you listen closely to the song. If =
you want to add a unique style to this song, have an additional rhythym =
guitarist join in with a 12 string tuned to E and continue throughout =
the song.
It also helps to use an alternate picking pattern to help establish a =
flow
for the voicings of each chord. I have added these using the carat and =
lowercase v. The rest of Aaron's work is correct except for the finish.=20
It alternates the Am with the E.=20
Here are the chords

Intro - Am C D F Am E Am E

Am C D F
There is a house..........
Am C E E
They call it the............
Am C D F
And its been the ruin..............
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
And God, I know, I'm ..........

Thats about all there is to it. Those chords are played in the same =
order for=20
every verse and the solo as well. I think the ending is Am and F =
repeated a=20
few times.
