My only regret with this beautiful ballad is that it is not just a little longer.
The Original
Bob Dylan:
Bobfest (Neil’s epithet, not mine): 30th Anniversary:
Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, George Harrison, and seemingly a hundred other lucky participants …:

THE CLASH of Cover Tunes
Playing for Change feat. Twanguero and I-Tawah vs. Jesse Welles vs. Ted Christopher and Mark Knopfler
Playing for Change feat. Twanguero and I-Tawah:
Jesse Welles:
Ted Christopher and Mark Knopfler:
This version was recorded in memory of the Dunblane Massacre, March 13, 1996. The Dunblane massacre took place at Dunblane Primary School in Dunblane, Scotland. A shooter killed 16 children and one teacher before turning the gun on himself. It remains the deadliest mass shooting in British history.
A new verse was written, and the children choir who sang the chorus were brothers and sisters of the victims. The song was released December 9, 1996, and it reached number 1. The proceeds went to charities for children.
