GUEST,George Stephens Chords Req: He Was a Friend of Mine (Dave Van Ronk (27) RE: Chords Req: He Was a Friend of Mine (Dave Van Ronk 17 Aug 09


"He was a Friend of Mine" is a traditional folk song of which the earliest known version is "Shorty George" in the same sense as "Don't Think Twice" is a traditional folk song of which the earliest known version is "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons for Your Hair" or "Bob Dylan's Dream" is a traditional folk song of which the earliest known version is "Lady Franklin's Lament" -- and dozens of other examples. Dylan's a genius, but he's not careful about citations.

George
