Chords

(Garcia,Hunter) Intro
C               E7
On the day when I was born

F                  Am
Daddy sat down and cried.

F                      C        G
I had the mark just as plain as day;

      D7             G7
Which could not be denied.

C                          E7
They say that Cain caught Abel

F              Am
Rollin' loaded dice;

F                C       G
Ace of Spades behind his ear

    F                 E7
And him not thinkin' twice.

Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo

F                C         G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye

F             C        G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.

F                   C        G
Farewell to you old Southern skies

    Am        E7
I'm on my way, on my way.
Am Am/maj7 Am7 D9 F Dm B7 E7 Am Am/maj7 Am7 D9 F Am D7 G7 If all you got to live for 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.
 A             D          A              D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
