    this is the solo played in the 87-93 era cd.......sounds much cooler...fits in the same number of bars........and sounds better at a higher tempo...

    @sukrit - Am5 is not Am/5+ - read below

    @all:
    wat are you talking about Am5 - if it includes A, the minor 3rd and the perfect 5th - tis known as Am.... if it doesnt include the minor 3rd - its A5 - now a fifth chord doesnt have a minor or major tonal note included in it - thus the chord u are looking for is an A5 -, theres nothing like an Am/+5 (thats basically a minor chord with a sharpened 5th - its not one of the 4 triads - hence the chord becomes known as a Fmajor with a bass note of A or F/A) -btw - in the verse riff - its not 5th chords but in fact G Major, D major and C major

    the dylan version alternates between Am and C amjor as the alst chord in each line

    also: heaven is spelled with an e not heavin.

    verse:
    e||-------3-------------2-0-------|
    B||--3------3---3-----3-----3---3-|
    G||--0--------0-----2---------2---|
    D||--0------------0---------------|
    A||-------------------------------|
    E||--3----------------------------|

    e||----------------0-----------------||
    B||----------1-----------1-----------||
    G||--0-----0---0-------0---0-0-----0-||
    D||--0h2---------2---2-------0h2-----||
    A||------3-----------------------3---||
    E||----------------------------------||

    thats it - soory i didnt put t all on one line but i was in no mood...

    oh ya - the chorus is palyed with dist. and thats G5, D5, C5.

    the first solo has the verse riff palying in the background - the 2nd solo has the ditortion chorus riff playing in the background

    dude wht u posted was the intro not the verse
    ....its there man........
    the verses are G5 Am C and G5 D C arpeggiated
    Btw there is a Am/+5
    the second solo has that cool thing with the muting....G5 D5 ans C5..ultimately cool .....which continues evern after the solo

    sorry dr saurah - u were right abt. it being a G5 - read my tabs - i realsied now that i never really alyed the major 3rd even though i held it as aprt of the chord- i mean while picknig the notes- u jsut hold a G major...

    secondly - thats not jsut the intro - the riff contineus for all verse parts and the chords are aplyed for the 1st solo - and yes - the dist. part is basically G5, D5 and C5 - as i already emntioned so thers no point saying that im wrong and then repeating wat i said.

    again about the Am/5+ - that never entyers this song - thats never known by that name because its jsut musicalyl wrong to call a chord an Am/5+ for the reasons i jsut gave above - its known as a F/A

    besdies thers no Am in the gnr version - i just sat and heard the song a million times again - its all C maj....

    im 100% sure of all of this - its all accurate
