Bob Dylan and George Harrison, Woodstock, November 1968; photo by Jill Krementz.
āI was with Bob and heād gone through his broken neck period and was being very quiet, and he didnāt have much confidence anyhow ā thatās the feeling I got with him in Woodstock. He hardly said a word for a couple of days. Anyway, we finally got the guitars out and it loosened things up a bit. It was really a nice time with all his kids around, and we were just playing. It was near Thanksgiving. [ā¦] I was saying to him, āYou write incredible lyrics,ā and he was saying, āHow do you write those tunes?ā So I was just showing him chords like crazy. Chords, because he tended just to play a lot of basic chords and move a capo up and down. And I was saying, āCome on, write me some words,ā and he was scribbling words down. And it just killed me because heād been doing all these sensational lyrics. And he wrote, āAll I have is yours/ All you see is mine/ And Iām glad to hold you in my arms/ Iād have you anytime.ā The idea of Dylan writing something, like, so very simple.ā - George Harrison, Crawdaddy, February 1977
āI happened to be invited to Woodstock by The Band. I spent some days with Bob and I sāpose we just got round to picking up guitars and we were just, you know, he was saying, Hey what about those, show me some of them chords, those weird chords. And thatās how that came about. Itās like a strange chord, really, itās called G major 7th, and itās got all these major 7th chords [chuckles], so, you know, we just kind of turned it into a song [Iād Have You Anytime]. Itās really nice.ā - George Harrison, interview, 15 February 2001
