One of the most celebrated songs of the 1960s, Dylan's manuscript
features four verses of lyrics, without musical notation, scrawled in
pencil on a scrap of notebook paper according to Southeby's, which said
the auction will be held on December 10.
The 1964 song was a beacon for a folk-inspired protest movement tat
challenged prevailing attitudes towards race, poverty and the Vietnam
war.
Dylan, who turns 70 years old next year continues to record and
perform.
