Robbie: Well, I know, it’s just those three chords.
Dylan: Oh, it’s got to start there, yes.
|Dm . . Bb |F . . .
Dylan: Hey, something is wrong with the ending.
Robbie: […] stop this?
Dylan: No, keep going, we got to get it all. We’re gonna play it all anyway. The ending shouldn’t be … The ending should go like this – here’s how the melody should go, cause remember the melody now. Everything’s alright until the last phrase.
[changes the rhythm, from triple to duple time (6/8 to 2/4, more or less)]

That's the way I think she told me [?]

Am7 Gm7 C7
You must help me to see you
F
As I go by...
[Dylan: No, it’s twice as slow. Twice as slow. It’s too fast. Yeah, but it can go in there, man, but it’s just gonna be twice as slow as that. I’ll fit the words in, same words, but it’s gonna be twice as slow. Play every chord about twice as slow]
