Make You Feel My Love

Written by 
Bob Dylan
Released on 
Time out of Mind (1997) and The Bootleg Series Vol. 17: Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996–1997)
Tabbed by 
Eyolf Østrem
Tuning: 
Standard and Open D/E

This is a piano tune on the record, but harmonically it is an almost exact copy of Simple Twist Of Fate, and can very comfortably be played on guitar in open tuning (E or D). A suggestion is included below.

In standard tuning it is most easily played using G as tonic, but I give it here in C, as that is closest to the key of the recording. Capo 1st fret (Original key Db major).

I could offer a warm embrace
D9/f#       G11     C
to make you feel my love

When evening shatters and the stars appear
and there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love

F                            C
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
C+          F            C
but I would never do you wrong
F                             C
I've known it from the moment that we met
Dm                            G
no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
Oh there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret
the winds of change are blowing wild and free
you ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
nothing that I wouldn't do
go to the ends of the earth for you
to make you feel my love
