Deal -- Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)
A C#7 F#m D7 Adeg
Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,
A F# B D
You and me got to spend more time wonderin' what to choose.
A C#7
Just goes to show, you don't ever know,
F#m D7 Adim
Watch each card you play and play it slow.
A G D
Wait until that deal come 'round,
A G D A
Don't you let that deal go down, no no.
I've been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years,
And if I told you all that went down it would burn off both your ears.
Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes,
I hate to leave you sittin' there composing lonesome blues.
"Deep Elem Blues"
As done by Jerry Garcia and his (then new, now ex)
wife, Sara, on a 1963 bootleg. They do it bluegrass style. Very nice!
"Deep Elem" is Elm Street, the old red-light district in Dallas.
G
Once I knew a preacher,
Preached the Bible through and through,
He went down to Deep Elem,
Now his preachin' days are through.
Chorus:
C7
Oh sweet mama
G
Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.
D7
Oh sweet mama
G
Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.
G
Once I had a girlfriend.
She meant the world to me.
She went down to Deep Elem,
Now she ain't what she used to be.
[chorus]
G
When you go down to Deep Elem,
Put your money in your socks.
'Cause them women in Deep Elem
Will sure put you on the rocks.
[chorus]
G
If you go down to Deep Elem
To have a little fun,
Have your ten dollars ready
When the policeman comes.
[chorus]
Dire Wolf
Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter
E D
In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running 'round.

The winter was so hard and cold froze ten feet 'neath the ground.
E D E A D E - D D A
Don't murder me. I beg of you, don't murder me. Please don't murder
me.
E G D
I sat down to my supper. 'twas a bottle of red whiskey.

Eyes Of the World -- Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)
E7 A E7 Bm A
Right outside this lazy summer home
E7 A E7 Bm A
You ain't got time to call your soul a critic, no.
A C#m B A
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home,
C#m B D A
Wonderin' where the nut thatch winters, wings a mile long
E A E A C
Just carried the bird away.
G C G C
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
G C G C
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own.
D C G C
Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings.
G C D Bm A E7
The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own.
There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away.
There follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
The seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay,
Night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own.
Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home.
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.
Foolish Heart

INTRO: A D A D A D A D
[Bm] [D] [F#m]
Carve your name, carve your name in ice and wind.
Dare to leap, leap from ledges high and wide.
Shun a friend, shun a brother and a friend
Bite the hand, bite the hand that bakes your bread.

Search for where, search for where the river end or
Learn to speak, speak with wisdom like a child
Never look, never look around the bend or
Dare to leap , where the angels fear to tread

directly to the heart. Crown yourself the king of clowns, or
check the weather chart. Sign the Mona Lisa with a

Been down before, you just don't have to go on no more, no more.

He's Gone -- Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)
F F7
Rat in a train ditch, caught on a limb,
Bb C F
You know better but I know him.
F F7
Like I told you, what I said,
Bb C F
Steal your face right off your head.
F Bb F Bb F Bb C
Now he's gone, now he's gone. He's gone.
Bb C
Like a steam locomotive rollin' down the track,
Bb F F7/Eb Bb F
He's gone, gone, and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone.
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile, nothin' left to do but smile, smile,
smile.
C Eb Bb
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
C Eb Bb
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Eb Bb Ab
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,
Eb Ebm Bb C
A knife in the back and more of the same, same old.
High Time -- Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)
D C#m Ab Gb
You told me goodbye, how was I to know
A E D A
You didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go.
B E B A E D A E
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know.
The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay.
Now listen here baby, 'cause I mean what I say.
I'm having a high time, living the good life, well I know.
F E
I was losing time, I had nothing to do,
B C#m F#m E
No one to fight, I came to you.
F E
Wheels broke down, the leader won't draw,
B C#m F#m E Esus4 D A
The line is busted, the last one I saw.
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain,
Now don't think too hard, baby, 'cause you know what I'm saying.
I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way.
Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong,
Come in when it's raining, go on out when it's gone.
We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know.
I Know You Rider - Traditional
(as done by the Grateful Dead; first played sometime in '65)
(recorded on The Grateful Dead's 1st album, released 1966)
{chord pattern:}
D C G D
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
F C F C F D
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.
Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;
Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;
My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the west.
The sun will shine in my back door someday;
The sun will shine in my back door someday;
March winds will blow all my troubles away.
I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;
I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.
Jack Straw -- Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)
E F#m C#m A
We can share the women, we can share the wine
E Bm D A E
G#m D A
We can share what we've got of yours 'cause we done shared all of mine.
E F#m C#m A
Keep on rollin', just a mile to go,
E Bm D A E B A E E7
Keep on rollin', my old buddy, you're movin' much too slow.
Esus7 E7 Esus7 E7
I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence,
Esus7 E7 Esus7 E7
Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain't that heaven sent?
F#sus7 F#7 F#sus7 F#7
Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see,
F#sus7 F#7 F#sus7 D Bm A E
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well been me.
D Bm A E
We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
D Bm A E
And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife.
D Bm A E
And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall;
D Bm A E A
There ain't no winner in the game, he don't go home with all,
D G D G E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Not with all.
Leavin' Texas, fourth day of July,
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe,
The Great Northern out of Cheyenne from sea to shining sea.
Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride,
Got to settle one old score, one small point of pride.
Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon, to keep him from the sun;
Ain't no bed can give us rest, now, you keep us on the run.
Jack Straw from Witchita cut his buddy down,
And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down.
Half a mile from Tuscon, by the morning light,
One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too
slow.
We can share the women, we can share the wine.
Jack-a-Roe -- Grateful Dead (Traditional)
Am C E
There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell,
Am C F C
He had a beautiful daughter, the truth to you we'll tell,
Am E Am E Am
Oh, the truth to you we'll tell.
She had sweethearts a-plenty and men of high degree,
But none but Jack the sailor her true love ever be,
Oh, her true love ever be.
Jackie's gone a-sailin' with trouble on his mind,
He's left his native country and his darling girl behind,
Oh, his darling girl behind.
She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array,
She climbed aboard a vessel and conveyed herself away,
Oh, conveyed herself away.
Before you get on board, sir, our name we'd like to know,
She smiled on her countenance, they call me Jack-a-Roe,
Oh, they call me Jack-a-Roe.
I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small,
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball,
Oh to face the cannonball.
I know my waist's too slender, my fingers they are small,
But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall,
Oh to see ten thousand fall.
The war soon being over she went and looked around,
Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found,
Oh her darling boy she found.
She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to town,
She sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds,
Oh to quickly heal his wounds.
This couple they got married, so well did they agree,
This couple they got married, so why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
Let it grow

To the stream, black dirt live again!
D(I) D(I) A(I) A(I)
The ploughman is broad as the back of the land that he's sowing
A 7 A 7 D(I) D(I)
As he dances the circular track of his plough ever knowing

That the work of his days measures more than just the planting and
growing.

Let it grow, let it grow, let me heal.

Water bright as the sky from which it came
D(II) A(II)
Its name is on the earth and takes it in
G(I) IV Emin D(II)
It will not speak but stand inside the rain.
C(II) G(I) Bmin Emin
Listen to the thunder shout
I I C(I)
