Suze The Cough Song

Suze (The Cough Song)

One of Dylan's attempts at an instrumental.
 Recorded Oct 24, 1963 and released on The Bootleg Series 1-3 (1991)
 Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem


The trick in this song is to let the chords begin on the last 8th note of the previous
bar, and to emphasise this note wherever it figures as a melody tone, such as in the
first measure.

Many of the things that are written in as hammer-ons or pull-offs in the tab, are really
just the almost inevitable result of changing chords at breakneck speed. Don’t bother
too much about it; if you are able to play it at the correct speed, the effects will 
come out in any case.
