" encoding="UTF-8"?> Covenant Woman Covenant Woman {c:Words and Music by Bob Dylan Released on Saved (1980) Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem} {c:This is a song for the whole 1980 gospel band. The original key is F major. For guitar only there seem to be two possibilities: Capo 3rd fret, chords of D major, or capo 5th fret, chords of C major. I'm sure he plays one of these on the album, but I'm not certain about which one. I seem to hear a D minor chord type'ish sound in the second line, which would suggest the C major version, but then again, the D version gives the pleasant A major at the end, and the least awkward chords overall.} C Am Em Dm Covenant woman got a contract with the Lord Am G Way up yonder, great will be her reward.
