The album version is in "F#". They most likely played it in the fingering
for "G", but were all tuned down a half step, as many bands do. This is
why a diatonic player eventually needs to have one harmonica of each key,
or needs to get really good at overblows and overdraws.
A "B" harmonica in 2nd position can cover this just fine.
I really enjoy playing/singing this song (usually in "G"), though not with
any attempt to sound like either Dylan or Axle.
