Bob Dylan - The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

from the album "John Wesley Harding"

Played on a steel string acoustic guitar

The song consists of one chord loop repeated throughout the song, this
is:

C, Em, Dm, C

These can be fingered as open chords like so:

EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE

x30210 022000 xx0231 x30210

C Em Dm C

However, the actual version seems to use barre chords thus:

C Em Dm C

E|--8--------7--------5--------8-----

B|--8--------8--------6--------8-----

G|--9--------9--------7--------9-----

D|--10-------9--------7--------10----

A|--10-------7--------5--------10----

E|--8--------x--------x--------8-----



The strumming pattern goes roughly like this:

d = down stroke

u = up stroke

1---2---3---4---

d* d d u d u

*with the first downstroke, only strum the bass notes of the chord
