The grim yet funny "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" was on Dylan's second electric album, 1965's Highway 61 Revisited. Notable blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield provided the appropriately Latin guitar licks. This fingerpicking, key-of-E version features an alternating thumb/bass with a straight-eighths, rock feel, and three easy chords: E, A and B7. The introductory figure, which is repeated at the end of the tune, is played with moveable, F-formation chords, and there are still more up-the-neck chords in the instrumental solo.
