[Outro] D E D E D E D E Notes: Play the intro chords as power chords in the Em position at frets 7, 10, 12, and 14 respectively. Play the song in 11/8 time signature (hence the name). If 11/8 looks like a date on the calendar to you, then listen to the song and you will hear the very interesting beat. Play the verse chords A in the 3rd position, D in the 3rd position, and E in the 4th position (frets 5, 5, and 7 respectively.) Disclaimer: There is no right by which I should be telling you what chords to play, especially with a Dead song, but this is merely a guide to help you on your journey of musical fulfillment in the epic "THE ELEVEN." -Cheers
