Written by: Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter
From: "In the Dark" (1979)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The album version (5:50) features the Middle 8 twice (with different lyrics)
and a solo over verse and chorus chords. Both of these are missing from the
popular video edit.
If there are too many barrée chords here for your taste, transpose the
chords down two steps. To match the original key put on a capo on the
2nd fret.
