Besides Pretty Boy Floyd, the CD has a few other great songs for acoustic guitar: Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain't Got No Home; Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red; and Emmylou Harris sings Hobo's Lullaby. Intersperse these notes with strumming. It's not too complicated, but it's harder than it might seem to do it as cleanly as Dylan does, at least to me. The riff in the first measure is played twice after each two-line verse. Besides that, it's all just energetic strumming. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & If you ....
