The Grateful Dead was a psychedelic jam folk bluegrass rock band that formed in 1965 in San Francisco, California, United States from the remnants of another band, &quot;Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions,&quot; The Grateful Dead were known for their unique and eclectic songwriting style which fused elements of rock, folk music, bluegrass, blues, country, and jazz, and also for live performances of long modal jams. The group disbanded immediately after the death of singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995. 

Grateful Dead est un groupe de rock psychédélique américain, créé en 1965 à San Francisco et qui s'est séparé en 1995, après la disparition de son leader Jerry Garcia. La musique du Grateful Dead, mélange de rock, folk, blues, bluegrass avec des influences jazz, a connu un bon succès commercial à partir de 1970.  Le groupe est aussi connu pour ses prestations live où les morceaux joués étaient allongés par de long solos de chaque instrumentiste. 

Grateful Dead ist eine 1965 gegründete Rock-Band um Frontman Jerry Garcia, die spätestens durch das Woodstock Festival eine wichtige Rolle in der US-amerikanischen Musikszene und Gegenkultur einnahm.  Ab 1965 erwarben sich die Grateful Dead den Ruf einer magischen Live-Band. Während dieser Zeit spielte Jerry Garcia auch bei anderen Bands im Studio mit, darunter Jefferson Airplane, New Riders Of The Purple Sage und Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young, bei denen er das Pedal-Steelgitarren-Intro ihres Hits Teach Your Children spielte. 

Grateful Dead (también conocidos entre sus seguidores como &quot;The Dead&quot;) fue un grupo de rock americano influenciado por la psicodelia. Creado en 1965 por integrantes de otro grupo, &quot;Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions&quot;, Grateful Dead se dieron a conocer gracias a su estilo de composición único y ecléctico --que fusionaba elementos del rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country y jazz-- y por las largas improvisaciones que realizaban en sus actuaciones.  

a beautiful song that brings me chills every time i hear it.  mr. garcia was one of the few truly inspired composers of this century.  ** Jerry wrote the music, but Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics. Great song  garcia's voice makes the song

Ripple by Grateful Dead


       G                               C 
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine,
        C                             G
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
                   G                   C
would you hear my voice come thru the music,
           D       C                    G
would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down,
the thoughts are broken,
perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care,
let there be songs to fill the air.

 Am         D
Ripple in still water,
                   C
when there is no pebble tossed,
     Am      D
nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
if your cup is full may it be again,
let it be known there is a fountain,
that was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
and if you go no one may follow,
that path is for your steps alone.
Ripple in still water,
when there is no pebble tossed,
nor wind to blow.

You who choose, to lead must follow,
but if you fall you fall alone,
if you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.



Then I got mail from John Lockney who not only gave me the chords
(which are similar to Prashant's) but he also gave me some tablature.

G
I lit out from Reno,
      C
I was trailed by twenty hounds
G
Didn't get to sleep that night
        C
Til the morning came around.


D
Set out running but I take my time
  Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   D
If I get home before daylight,
  Am                  C       D        D
I just might get some sleep tonight.


G
Ran into the devil, babe,
   C
He loaned me twenty bills
  G
I spent the night in Utah
     C
In a cave up in the hills.


D
Set out running but I take my time,
  Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
   D
If I get home before daylight,
  Am                  C       D       D
I just might get some sleep tonight.


  G
I ran down to the levee
        C
But the devil caught me there
   G
He took my twenty dollar bill
    C
And vanished in the air.


D
Set out running but I take my time,
  Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
   D
If I get home before daylight,
  Am                  C       D       D
I just might get some sleep tonight.


D
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
    C
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, 
    C
And she's my hearts delight.
    D
The second one is prison, baby, the sheriff's on my trail,
    Am
And if he catches up with me,
     C                D
I'll spend my life in jail.


G
Got a wife in Chino, babe,
    C
And one in Cherokee
    G
The first one says she's got my child,
    C
But it don't look like me.


D
Set out running but I take my time,
  Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
   D
If I get home before daylight,
  Am                  C       D       D
I just might get some sleep tonight.

Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.
If mercy's in bus'ness, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true.

Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had, Why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
Till the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.

Fire! Fire on the mountain!

A                        D   A                 G       E       A
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care.
 
A           C#m         F#m
Saw my baby down by the river,
 
E                    D           A    E  A
Knew she had to come up soon for air.
 
 
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow,
We can have high times if you'll abide,
We can discover the wonders of nature,
Rollin' in the rushes down by the river side.
 
D              G       D                        A       D
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
 
D                    G          D                      E      A     E  A
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed.
 
 
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet,
She can wade in a drop of dew.
She don't come and I don't follow,
Waits backstage while I sing to you.
 
She can dance a cajun rhythm,
Jump like a willys in four-wheel drive.
She's my summer love in the spring, fall, and winter,
She can make happy any man alive.
 
A        G   D  A                G    D
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell,
 
A               G     D  A
Caught up in sunlight,
 
A           E            G               D
Come on out singing I'll walk you in the sunshine,
 
D                              A   E  A
Come on honey, come along with me.
 
 
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight,
Lazing in the sunshine, yes indeed.
 
A
Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is halfway down,
 
B                  E        B
Sometimes when the night is dying,
 
B                   A      E  D  A  B      A  E  B
I take me out and I wander around,     I wander around.
 
B        E      B  F#             E        B
Sunshine daydream, walking in the tall trees,
 
B               E     B F# E               B
Going where the wind goes, blooming like a red rose,
 
Ride out singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine, sunshine daydream...

Sugar Magnolia

D           Am
Look out of any window, 
Em           C                G
any morning, any evening, any day. 
D         Am
Maybe the sun is shining, 
Em                    G                      A    
birds are winging, No rain is falling from a heavy sky. 
D           G                 Am            Em     G D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
    C             D                    Am                G      
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long a-go.
D           Am 
Walk out of any doorway, 
Em             C                          G
feel your way, feel your way like the day before.
D            Am 
Maybe you'll find direction, 
Em
Around some corner where 
G                    A
it's been waiting to meet you. 
D           G
What do you want me to do, 
   Am                          Em   G D
to watch for you while you are sleeeeeeping? 
     Am              C                  G                D
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too. 
D         Am
Look into any eyes
Em                       C                    G
you find by you, you can see clear to another day,
D          Am                   Em 
Maybe been seen before, through other eyes
   G                      A
on other days while going home. 
D           G                 Am            Em     G D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
     C              Em                D            G
It's all a dream we dreamed one after-noon, long a-go. 
D         Am
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Em                    C                      G 
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land. 
D            Am
Maybe you're tired and broken, 
     Em 
Your tongue is twisted with
G                     A        
words half spoken and thoughts unclear 
D           G                 Am            Em     G D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
Am                 C                  G                 D 
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through. 
G                   Am       Em
Just a box of rain, wind and water
  C               A               D
Believe it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on
G               Am       Em 
Sun and shower, wind and rain
C              D             Em            A
In and out the window like a moth before a flame 
         D             Em
And it's just a box of rain,
        G               D
I don't know who put it there
                  Bm          G               A       
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
         D             Em
And it's just a box of rain,
     G               D
or a ribbon for your hair;
             Em
Such a long, long time to be gone,
      G                D
and a short time to be there.

Box Of Rain

A               G   D             G
In another times forgotten space
A               G          D               G
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
A              G       D                G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A                  G        D            G
May the four winds blow you safely home

A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire if you lose your way

Roll Away the Dew

God save the child that rings that bell
May have one good ring baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play

Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind

Roll Away the Dew

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds, the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again

Roll Away the Dew

Seeking all that's still unsung.

When there was no strings to play, you played to me.

St. Stephen

E 		   D 
Her boots were of leather, a breath of cologne
A		   Bm	       A	 E
Her mirror was the window, she sat quite alone.
E		   F#
All around her the garden then grew
A	    Bm	       A	   E
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue.

E			     D
She came and she went and at last went away
A	       Bm	       A       E
Her garden was sealed when the flowers decayed.
E			    F#
On the wall of the garden a legend did say:
 A	    Bm	      A		       Bm
"No one may come here since no one may stay."

Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her.
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe.

Hung up waiting for a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February.
Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow ,
But standing here I say I just don't know.

New ones comin' as the old ones go,
Everything's moving here but much too slowly,
A little bit quicker and we might have time,
To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind.

The very last lately inquired about you,
     D           A      D
It's really very one or two.
    E         B           D      A
The first you wanted, the last I knew.

I just wonder if you shouldn't feel,
Less concerned about the deep unreal,
The very first word is "How do you do?",
The last "Go home your mama's callin' you."

        A      G   D    A
Calling you,


A     G                D       A
Go on home your mama's calling you.


A                      E7      A
Go on home your mama's calling you.

In the timbers to Fennario,

The wolves are running round,
    F
The winter was so hard and cold,
                          G
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground.


             F      G
Don't murder me,

Please, don't murder me.

I sat down to my supper,
 Bb                F
'Twas a bottle of red whisky,
  F
I said my prayers and went to bed,
           C         B   Bb    Am
That's the last they saw of    me
#(you can even do without the B and Bb, just sounds to me a little better)

Don't murder me,

When I awoke, the Dire Wolf,
    C       Bb        F
Six hundred pounds of sin,
F
Was grinning at my window,
                        G
All I said was "Come on in".

     Bb          Am      G
The Wolf came in, I got my cards,
    C       Bb      F
We sat down for a game.
F
I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades,
                           G
But the cards were all the same.


             F      G
Don't murder me,

I beg of you, don't murder me.

Please, don't murder me.


       G
In the backwash of Fennario,
    Bb                 F
The black and bloody mire,
    F
The Dire Wolf collects his due,
                               G
While the boys sing 'round the fire.

Deep Elem Blues

G                             C   G
Once upon a time there was an engineer
G                       A       D
Drove a locomotive both far and near
  G                               C
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool
G             A             D          G
Watchin' everything the engineer would move


One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
Left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat
The monkey pulled the draw, the locomotive jumped the gun
And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run

G               C        G
Big locomotive, right on time
G                      A        D
Big locomotive, comin' down the line
G                      C
Big locomotive, number ninety-nine
G            A           D       G
Left the engineer with a worried mind

The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewn up tight

Switch operator got the message in time
Said, "There's a north bound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let him through the hole
'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control!"

Monkey And The Engineer

Reckoning

Intro:

Em


Verse 1:

          G                 Em
Me and my uncle went riding down,

      G                    Em
South Colorado, west texas bound,

   G               Em
we stopped over in Santa Fe,

     G                          A
That being the point just about half way,

     G                    B                   Em
and, you know, it was the hottest part of the day


Verse 2:

           G                Em
I took the horses up to the stall,

            G                Em
went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all,

                  G                         Em
three days in the saddle, you know, my body hurt,

         G                     A
it being summer, I took off my shirt

      G                 B                  Em
and I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt.


Verse 3:

           G                   Em
West Texas cowboys, they's all around,

                G                    Em
with liquor and money, they's loaded down,

              G                             Em
so soon after payday, you know, it seemed a shame,

         G                              A
you know my uncle, he starts a friendly game,

     G                     B               Em
Hey, high low jack and the winner take the hand


Solo:

G      Em    x3
G      A
G      B     Em

G      Em    x3
G      A
G      B     Em

Verse 4:

                G                    Em
My uncle starts winning, cowboys got sore,

            G                        Em
one of them called him, and then two more,

               G                   Em
accused him of cheating, oh no, it couldn't be,

          G                        A
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me,

    G             B               Em
and I'm as honest as a Denver man can be.


Verse 5:

            G                     Em
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,

           G                    Em
I shot him down, Lord, he never saw,

         G                          Em
Shot me another, hot damn, he won't grow old,

          G                           A
in the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold

    G              B              Em
and we high tailed it down to Mexico


Verse 6:

             G                     Em
I love those cowboys, I love their gold,

           G                   Em
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul,

             G                        Em
he taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know,

          G                       A
taught me so well, I grabbed that gold

      G                 B                    Em
and I left his dead ass there by the side of the road.

Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in to the jailhouse,

Just turn 'round and leave'em, walk away

Major Domo Billy Bojangles
Sat down and had a drink with me,
Said "What about Alabama
That keeps a-coming back to me".
Heard your plea in the courthouse,
The witness box began to rock and rise,
49 sister states all
Had Alabama in there eyes.

Major said why don't we give him
Rope enough to hang himself?
No need to worry the jury,
They'll prob'ly take care of themselves.
25th psalm Major Domo,
Reserve me a table for three,
Down in the valley of the shadow,
It's just you, Alabama, and me.

I told Althea I was feeling lost
Bm         A      E       
Lackin' in some direction
Bm          A       E     A          
Althea told me upon scrutiny that my
Bm         A        E       
Back might need protection
A                  C#m
I told Althea that treachery
D                        A
Was tearin' me limb from limb
C#m                  E            
Althea told me, now, cool down boy
Bm           A    E
Simmer back, easy Jim

You may be Saturday's child all grown
Movin' with pinch of grace
You may be a clown in the burying ground
Or just another pretty face
You my be the fate of Ophelia
Sleepin' and perchance to dream
Honest to the point of recklessness
Self-centered to the extreme

Ain't nobody messin' with you but you
Your friends are getting most concerned
Loose with the truth baby, it's your fire
Baby, I hope you don't get burned
When the smoke has cleared she said,
That's what she said to me
Gonna want a bed to lay your head
And a little sympathy

D                    G            
There are things you can replace
E
And others you can not
D                    G                 
The time has come to weigh those things
E                         
This space is getting hot
Bm            A                E
You know this space is getting hot.


I told Althea I'm a roving sign
And I was born to be a bachelor
Althea told me, OK, that's fine
So now I'm tryin' to catch her
Can't talk to you without talkin' to me
We're guilty of the same old thing
Thinkin' a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring

Althea

Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout.

He never runs he just stumbles and hops.

Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.
1930 when the wall caved in,
He paid his way selling red-eyed gin.

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,

Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.

Daddy made whiskey and he made it well.
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell.
I cut hick'ry just to fire the still,
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill.

The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,

You take up the yoke and plow the fiends around.
Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,

Is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge
And seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, babe,
A pile of smokin' leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet
And prayed for better weather.

They say that when your ship comes in,
The first man takes the sails;
The second takes the afterdeck,
The third the planks and rails
What's the point of callin' shots;
This cue ain't straight in line.
Cue ball's made of styrofoam
And no one's got the time.

Wake Of The Flood

Verse 1:
         A            Bm               D  A
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
        A       Bm               D
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
       A              Bm           D   A
When I can't hear the song for the singer
      F#m           E             D
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m       E          D
And sing me a song of my own
E            A           D           A
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    F#m        E           D
And dream me a dream of my own

Verse 2:
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

Chorus:
Bm           E
 Black muddy river
A          F#m
Roll on forever
      E                A
Don't care how deep or wide
E                  A
If you got another side
D          A add C#
Roll muddy river
Bm         A
Roll muddy river
D           E      A
Black muddy  river roll

Verse 3:
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
