Blowin’ In The Wind Chord Chart by Bob Dylan
Welcome to my Blowin’ In The Wind chord chart by Bob Dylan. This is such a great song and can be played fingerpicking or strumming depending on what version you listen to.
I will be using this version here:
(157) Bob Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind (Audio) – YouTube
Now Bob does some add in some things like walk downs that we are not going to go over in detail here, but I would highly recommend using a straight arpeggio pattern with an alternation bass line. What do I mean but that?
