It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Bob Dylan

I figured this out a few years back when I bought the video
"Don't Look Back". You see Dylan detune and some fingerings
when he plays "Baby Blue" for Donovan in the hotel. (By the
way, in "Don't Look Back" Dylan capos 2, but Donovan's guitar
is tuned 1/2 tone below concert, so capo 1 to play along
with the video.)
 
Bringing It All Back Home version
Capo 4, bottom E tuned down to C
 
Note-> CADGBe
       ++++++
C      032010
Cadd4  033010 (add the little finger on the 4th string)
G      220000 (actually an Em7, but this is what he plays for G)
F      003211
Dm     200231 (use the thumb to fret the 6th string)
E      x22100 (or maybe E7: x22130)
 
(Note: be sure to strum the 6th string to keep the distinctive
droning C note going.)
