In My Time Of Dyin Tabs

(ver. 1)
Bob Dylan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The song is basically just a finger-picking/bottleneck exercise over a sustained chord 
Open D/E tuning. It's all in the singing... :-)

Open D tuning (D-A-d-f#-a-d')/Capo 4th fret or (preferably, since the 12th fret is 
to hit then) Open E tuning (E-B-e-g#-b-e')/capo 2nd fret.

Below is the intro and the first verse tabbed the way it is played. All the slide 
are played with the bottleneck, but if you haven't emptied your bottle yet, the fingers will 
to do.

The lick that is played here and there in the intro and between lines eventually settles 
a more fixed form:

  :     .     .     .       :     .     .

Well, in my time of dying don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Well, meet me Jesus, meet me, meet me in the middle of the air
If these wings should fail to me,
Lord, won't you meet me with another pair?
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Lord, in my time of dying don't want nobody to cry
All I want you to do is take me when I die
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
