DiMinno/Lombardo
Recorded by Bob Dylan Dec 17 2000 in NYC for the Sopranos 2
soundtrack (2001)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem (thanks to Jamie Lovinger for the complete
lyrics)
“Return to me” is played in the same dense, jazzy style as the new arrangements of Tryin' to get to Heaven and If Dogs Run Free, with a walking bass and several guitars (here even an accordeon) playing snippets of melodies and chord progressions on top of each other, some of which are clear and simple, others doing what they can to blur the simple framework. The chords below should therefore be taken with a pinch of salt.
I present the song in two different versions – first with just the basic chords, then in a fuller tabulature version with the chords of the jazzy guitar (Larry's). The tab doesn't really make sense on its own – it should be played against the indicated chords. And – needless to say – the tab is just a suggestion.
Chords:
Cmaj7 332000 C#0 x45353 (could be played C#m7-5 = x42000 or x45450) G(vii) xx0787 F(v) xx0565 Em(iii) xx0453 Ebm xx0342 Dm xx0231 G+ xx5443 or 321003 G9 353435 or xx5465 or x-10-9-10-10-x
