Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

The harmonica over the intro ... I mean, come on.  I guess some of the notes very occasionally matched the chords, but not many, and I bet more by accident than design.  Oddly, I don't have such a problem with the singing which bears only a slight relation to the key signature.  And, of course, it's Dylan.

This album doesn't get enough respect.

Bob rhymes “moon” and “spoon”. Hold the front page…

Honestly- he has always had voice problems. But no matter since he has had so much to say. Never bowled over by this version but have loved many other versions of it.

Even cut off early, it was too long. 

In my day, I could sing better than that.  And didn't.

Agreed.  It's cut off much too soon.
 
Perhaps. But by the producer of the album - not by me.  It's only 2:34 long.

Too much Bob Dylan on RP...

Interesting to read all the complaints, whining and moaning of Adele's cover of a Dylan song, yet it rated higher than this. Hmmmm....deep thoughts.......

He always had the "VOICE PROBLEM"! ....terrible

Yet another Bob Dylan song that shows why he should only sing Hurricane and let every other song of his be sung by someone else.
His voice is drab and often out of tune. He wouldn't make it past the first auditions in any modern singing competition (call it what you like)

YUK YUK YUK!

no sustained vibrato, instead a quavering off key whine
in my continuing attempt to appreciate Dylan's voice talents
a friend passed on a tip from a fellow avid Dylan fan
'try to appreciate the implied melody'

the quest continues
