Another auction of Bob Dylan memorabilia and another high-flying price – the bard’s draft lyrics for his 1965 song “Mr. Tambourine Man” have sold at auction for $508,000 in the US.
According to BBC’s report, the lyrics on two yellow sheets of paper are three typewritten drafts of the song – but not the final version. The work in progress also features the folk-rock legend’s notes by hand in the margin.

The song is one of Dylan’s most famous hits and the draft pages were among 60 items belonging to the singer that went under the hammer in the city of Nashville.
A 1968 oil painting created and signed by Dylan, and a 1983 Fender Telecaster electric guitar owned and played by him, were also on sale.
The third draft seen on the paper is close to the final version of the song, although it still has significant variations from the final lyrics, according to Julien’s Auctions where the sale took place.
Also included in the sale is music journalist Al Aronowitz’s first-hand account of Dylan writing the song in Aronowitz’s home believed to be in March 1964.
Several sketches by Dylan far exceeded their estimated price tags, with one that was expected to sell for between $1,500 and $2,500 going for $88,900.
A Levi’s denim jacket worn by Dylan in the 1987 musical drama film Hearts of Fire also sold for $25,400.
Nearly $1.5m was made in sales from the collection, the auction house said.
