On the first day, five takes of the song were recorded in a markedly different style from the eventual release—a 3/4 waltz time, with Dylan on piano. The lack of sheet music meant the song was played by ear. However the essence of the song was discovered in the course of the chaotic session. They did not reach the first chorus until the fourth take, but after the following harmonica fill Dylan interrupted, saying, "My voice is gone, man. You wanna try it again?"[12] This take was subsequently released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991.[12][13] The session ended shortly afterwards.[14]
