Bob Dylan - Hurricane Cover

The chords are below if anyone's interested


Verse
(Am)Pistol shots ring out in a (F)bar room night,
(Am)Enter Patty Valentine from the (F)upper hall,
(Am)She sees the bartender in a (F)pool of blood,
(Am)Cries out 'My god they've (F)killed em all__

Chorus
(C)Here comes the story of the(F)Hurricane (G),
(C)The man the authorities (F)came to blame (G),

(Dm)For something that he never (C)done,
(Dm)Put in a prison cell but (C)one (Em) time he could have (Am)been the (F)champion of the (C) world___(G)(G).

The song follows this structure all the way through

Strumming pattern:

The strumming pattern is straightforward but I mute the strings half way through each bar as I think it sounds better. Basically it is just up and down without any funny double ups or double down strokes.

¬ = Downstroke
^ = upstroke
x = mute strings

Am
¬ ^ ¬ ^ ¬ ^ ¬ ^
0--0--x--0--0--0--0--0------------
1--1--x--1--1--1--1--1---------
2--2--x--2--2--2--2--2-----------
2--2--x--2--2--2--2--2---------


I change from the Am to F on a down stroke as well if that helps.

The quick bits in the chorus are just the pattern played slightly quicker again, so it is still up, down, up, down, just twice as quick and they end on a downstroke. The double G chord at the end of the verse/Chorus bit is just the quick bit played twice in succession.

A couple of people have commented about my mate on the bongo not smiling. In his defence we hadn't practised much and I don't think he was really prepared for the camera being so close, so I think he's just concentrating
