Blonde on Blonde version
Bob seems to be playing with a capo on the 4th fret, and more or less the same chords as above.
The 2nd guitar plays without a capo, using the following pattern (w/variations):
E A B7 E : . . . . . . . |-------0-----------------|-------0-----------0-----| |-----0---0-------2-----0-|-----0---0-------0---0---| |---1-------1---2-----2---|---1-------1---1-------1-| |-2-----------2-----1-----|-2-----------2-----------| |-------------------------|-------------------------| |-------------------------|-------------------------|
The easiest way to play the G7sus4 G7 G7sus2 G7 figure (same as in Sad-Eyed Lady) would be:
G7sus4 G7 G7sus2 G7 |-1-----1-----1-----1--- |-0-----0-----0-----0--- |-0-----0-----0-----0--- |-0-----0-----0-----0--- |-3-----2-----0-----2--- |-3-----3-----3-----3---

Before the Flood version
Played in a very square 4/4 beat. The chords marked /bare probably G/b, but may even be C/b (or rather: Cadd2/b: x20010). The second and third Choruses are rushed out of tempo.
* These Am chords are Ds in subsequent verses.
G C Am* G C/g G Nobody feels any pain G C Am* G C/g G Tonight as I stand inside the rain C /b Am Ev'rybody knows C /b Am That Baby's got new clothes C /b Am G C /b D But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Em C /b D Have fallen from her curls. G D C She takes just like a woman, G D C And she aches just like a woman G D C And she wakes just like a woman, Am G Yea, but she breaks just like a little girl. Queen Mary, she's my friend Yes, I believe I'll go see her again Nobody has to guess That Baby can't be blessed Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest With her fog, with her amphetamine and her pearls. She takes just like a woman, And she wakes just like a woman, And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl.
B7 It was raining from the first And I was dying there of thirst Em B7 Em So I came in here B7 And your long-time curse hurts But what's worse C Is this pain in here Am I can't stay in here C Am Ain't it clear that
G I just don't fit Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit And when we meet again Introduced as friends Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world. You take just like a woman, And you wake just like a woman And you make love just like a woman, But you break just like a little girl.

Bangla Desh concert version (Aug 1, 1971)
The special feat of this version is the use of the F9/a (x03213) chord shape, together with the C = x32013 shape.
Capo 4th fret (sounding key E major)
