To Lay Me Down [Garcia/Hunter]
To lay me down, once more,
to lay me down.
With my head
in sparklin' clover.
Let the world go by,
like clouds a-streaming.
To lay me down, one
last time, to lay me down.
[Chorus]
To lay me down, oh oh, to
lay me down.
To lay me down, one
last time. To lay me down.
To be with you, once more,
to be with you.
With our bodies, entwined
together.
Let the world go by, all
lost in dreaming.
To lay me down, one last
time, to lay me down.
[Chorus]
[Jam on verse chords]
To lie with you, once more,
to lie with you.
With our dreams, close together.
To wake beside you, my love
still sleeping.
To tell sweet lies, one
last time, and say goodnight.
[Chorus]
To lay me down, oh oh, to
lay me down.
To lay me down, one
last time. To lay me down.
To lay me down, one
last time.
To lay me down, one
last time.
Tom Dooley [Traditional]
Hang your head, hang your
head, Tom Dooley hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laura Foster,
you know you're bound to die
Bury her on the hillside,
make the people see
Put the coat over, tromp
her with your feet
Hang your head Tom Dooley,
hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laura Foster,
don't you know your bound to die
Bury her on the hillside
with other people's lives
Hang your head Tom Dooley,
hang your head and cry
Killed poor Laurea Foster,
don't you know you're bound to die
First time I went courting,
pretty brave of me
Just to sing from her old
oak tree
Hang your mama with kindness
blame it on this morning
Tomorrow Is Forever [Dolly
Parton]
Take my hand and run with
me out of the past called yesterday
and walk with me into the
future on to tomorrow
Yesterday my sweetful life
rolled again back no matter what
There is nothing left but
memories that bring sorrows
Yesterday is gone but tomorrow
is forever
No more cryin' and memories
find their way back
Tomorrow's waiting let's
journey there together
Yesterday is gone but tomorrow
is forever
I care no for yesterday,
I love you as you are today
We must forget the passing
time
My love for you is the real
kind of love that won't hurt you forever
Yesterday is over. tomorrow
is forever
Tom Thumb Blues [Dylan]
When your lost in the rain
in Juarez and it's Easter time too
When your gravity is down
and negativity won't pull you through
Don't you put on any airs
when you down on Rue Morgue Avenue.
They got some hungry creatures
there
They'll surely make a mess
out of you
If you see St Annie, please
tell her thanks alot
My thoughts they are twisted,
my tentacles are all in a knot
I don't even have the strength
to get up and take another shot.
Now my best friend, my drummer,
Won't even tell what it
was that I dropped
Now sweet Melinda, the peasants
call her the goddess of gloom.
She speaks good English
as she invites you up into her room.
And you, you were so damn
conscientious,
You couldn't go to her too
soon
Still she takes your voice
and leaves you howling at the moon.
Up on Housing Project Hill,
it's either fortune or fame
You must choose one or the
other
Though neither are to be
what they claim
If you're looking to get
silly,
You better get back from
where you came
You know the cops don't
need you and we all expect the same.
Now all the authorities,
they just lay around and boast
About how they blackmailed
the President into leaving his post.
And picking up Angel,
Who arrived up here from
the coast,
Who looked so fine at first,
but left looking like a ghost.
Now I started out heinakin,
still hit the harder stuff
Everybody swore they stand
behind me when the game got rough
But the joke was on me,
there was nobody even there to call my bluff
I'm goin' back to San Enselmo,
I do believe I had enough.
Tons of Steel [Mydland]
I know these rails we're
on like I know my lady's smile,
We see a dozen dreams in
every passing mile.
Can't begin to count the
trips she and I have made,
But I wish I had a dollar
For each time we've both
been down this grade.
And 100,000 tons of steel,
made to roll.
The brakes don't work and
this grade's too steep,
Her engine's sure to blow.
And 100,000 tons of steel,
out of control,
She's more a rollercoaster
than the train I used to know.
It's one hell of an understatement,
to say she can't be beat.
She's tempermental, more
a bitch than a machine.
She wasn't built to travel
at speed or through mud slides.
These wheels are bound to
jump the tracks
Before they burn like the
ties
And 100,000 tons of steel,
made to roll.
The brakes don't work and
this grade's too steep,
Her engine's sure to blow
And 100,000 tons of steel,
out of control
She's more a rollercoaster
than the train I used to know.
Murphy sure out done himself
to pick this stretch of track
I can only hope my luck
is ridin' in the back.
Well I have pray to God
this ain't the day we meet,
I've done about everything,
but try dragging my feet.
And 100,000 tons of steel,
made to roll.
The brakes don't work and
this grade's too steep,
Her engine's sure to blow
And 100,000 tons of steel,
out of control,
She's more a rollercoaster
than the train I used to know.
Oh, oh I want to go down
slow.
Tore Up Over You [Hank Ballard]
Ever since you been gone
I just cried the whole night long
Since the day you said goodbye
left me sore, no lie, no lie
Tore up over you, and I just
can't find my way.
Tore up! Yeah, yeah, yeah,
tore up.
Woh-oh-oh tore up!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tore up.
Tore up over you, and I
just can't find my way.
Never loved me like ya told
me so if you did how could you go?
It was you, not me, that
left and went away with someone else
Tore up over you, and I just
can't find my way.
Tore up! Yeah, yeah, yeah,
tore up.
Woh-oh-oh tore up!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tore up.
Tore up over you, and I
just can't find my way.
Tell me what did I do to
make you go away?
Tell me what can I do to
make to come back and stay?
Tore up over you, and I just
can't find my way.
Tore up! Yeah, yeah, yeah,
tore up.
Woh-oh-oh tore up!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tore up.
Tore up over you, and I
just can't find my way.
Touch of Grey [Garcia/Hunter]
Must be getting early, clocks
are running late.
Paint-by-number morning
sky, looks so phony.
Dawn is breaking everywhere,
light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't
care, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get
by, I will get by, I will survive.
I see you've got your list
out, say your piece and get out.
Guess I get the jist of
it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that
way, the only thing I have to say
Every silver linings got
a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get
by, I will get by, I will survive.
It's a lesson to me, the
ables and the bakers and the theives
The abc's we all think of,
try to keep a little love.
I know the rent is in arrears,
the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it
appears, but it's alright
Cow is giving kerosene, kid
can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all
obscene, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get
by, I will get by, I will survive.
Shoe is on the hand it fits,
that's all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth
and spit, but it's alright
Oh well a touch of grey,
kinda suits you anyway,
That's all I had to say,
but it's alright
I will get by, I will get
by, I will get by, I will survive.
It's a lesson to me, the
deltas and the East and the freeze
The abc's we all must face,
try to save a little grace.
Tough Mama [?]
Tough mama, meat shakin'
on your bone.
I'm gone, going down to
the river and get you a stone.
I was on the highway with
that steel-driving crew.
Sister's in the big house,
working days are through.
Oh, mama, can I blow a little
smoke on you?
[Jam]
Dark beauty, won't you move
over and give me some room.
It's my duty, to take you
down to the field where the flowers bloom.
? Lay down, but on the right.
You can see it all the way,
down to the sky.
Oh, beauty, it's a long
night's journey in your eyes.
[Jam]
? Sweet goddess, I wanna shine and
light in the changing wind.
Don't be modest, you know
who you are and where you been.
? Deck the cowboy win or north
his betting years are past.
He almost went out drinking,
but that was over fast.
Oh, mama, you cook for strangers
coming on in at last.
[Jam]
? Smooth angel, imagine a lonesome
road with no slee
I'd be grateful, if this
golden ring you could receive.
? Today on the countryside it was
harder than a crotch.
Stood alone upon a ridge,
and all I did was watch.
Dark beauty, you must give
me time to carve another notch.
[Jam]
I've just fallen, world of
illusions at my door.
I ain't haulin', any of
my limbs through the marketplace anymore.
Mission walls are crumblin'
down there is no end in sight.
Gained some recognition,
but I've lost my appetite.
Dark beauty, leave me at
the corner late tonight.
Truckin [Garcia/Weir/Hunter/Lesh]
Truckin' got my chips cashed
in, keep truckin' like the doo-dah man.
Together, more or less in
line, just keep truckin' on.
Arrows of neon and flashing
marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit
and it's all on the same street.
Your typical city involved
in a typical daydream,
Hang it up and see what
tomorrow brings.
Dallas got a soft machine,
Houston too close to New Orleans,
New York got the ways and
means, but just won't let you be.
Most of the cats that you
meet on the street speak of true love.
Most of the time they're
sittin' and cryin' at home.
One of these days they know
they gotta get goin'
Out of the door and down
to the street all alone.
Truckin' like the doo-dah
man
Once told me "You got to
play your hand.
Sometimes the cards ain't
worth a dime, if you don't lay 'em down."
Sometimes the lights all
shinin' on me,
Other times I can barely
see.
Lately it occurs to me.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
What in the world ever became
of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle; you
know she isn't the same.
Livin' on reds, vitamin
C, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is,
"Ain't it a shame."
Truckin' up to Buffalo, been
thinkin' you got to mellow slow.
Takes time, you pick a place
to go, just keep truckin' on.
Sittin' and starin' out of
the hotel window,
Got a tip they're gonna
kick the door in again.
I'd like to get some sleep
before I travel,
But if you got a warrant
I guess you're gonna come in.
Busted down on Bourbon Street.
Set up like a bowlin' pin.
Knocked down, it get's to
wearin' thin, they just won't let you be.
You're sick of hangin' around,
and you'd like to travel.
Get tired of travelin',
you want to settle down.
I guess they can't revoke
your soul for tryin',
Get out of the door, light
out and look all around.
[Bridge]
Truckin', I'm a goin' home,
whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong.
Back home, sit down and
patch my bones and get back truckin' on.
Get back truckin' on. [repeat/adlib]
Turn On Your Lovelight
[Scott-Malone]
Without a warning you stole
my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin'
in the corner cryin'
Told me your love, was slowly
dyin'
So I'm begging you babe,
baby, please.
Begging you babe, I'm on
my knees.
Turn on your light, let
it shine on me.
Turn on your lovelight,
let it shine on me.
Let it shine, let it shine,
let it
When I get a little lonely
in the middle of the night
And I need you darlin' to
make things alright
So come on babe, baby please,
And I'm beggin' you baby,
I'm on my knees.
Turn on your light, let
it shine on me.
Turn on your lovelight,
let it shine on me
A little bit higher, a little
bit higher,
Turn on your light, a little
bit higher,
And let it shine, let it
shine, let it
[Jam]
Without a warning you stole
my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standin'
in the corner cryin'
Told me your love, was slowly
dyin'
So I'm begging you babe,
baby, please.
Begging you babe, I'm on
my knees.
Turn on your light, let
it shine on me.
Turn on your lovelight,
let it shine on me.
Just a little bit higher,
a little bit higher,
Turn on your light, a little
bit
Let it shine,
let it shine
Turn on your light,
let it shine
Shine on me, shine on me,
Turn on your lovelight,
let it shine
Two Souls in Communion
[?]
What are they seeing, when
they look in each other's eyes?
What are they feeling, when
they see each other smile?
Is it love, I don't know
- or an emotion that I've outgrown?
Did I take a wrong turn -
in on life's winding road?
Won't somebody help me find
the right way to go?
My life need some correction,
alteration and direction.
Wont somebody stand by me
- yes, I'm lost, yes, I'm lost,
Yes, I'm lost.
What is the secret of this
time of mine?
Two souls in communion,
both body and mind.
Is it special magic, or
just the nature of things?
Come see the great spirit,
not for beggars but for kings.
You who have found it please
help me along.
I'm a man, I'm a man, -
I'm not made out of stone.
My needs they are simple,
I don't want anything,
but I surely want to fly
on those wings, on the run, one more time.
All I wanna do, fly up, fly
home.
Fly on those wings of love,
fly up, fly home,
I'm a staying in your town,
fly up, fly home,
Help me somebody please!
Fly up, fly home.
I wake up early in the morning,
fly up, fly home,
you know I never saw you
babe, fly up, fly home.
I just can't seem to understand,
can't seem to understand
what's wrong, fly up, fly home.
What I wanna do is take a
little ride with you, on the wings of love,
woh-oh one more time, one
more time.
Two Women [?]
I got two women, yes I've
got, one need me feel, but I need you
Been so strange, I don't
know what I've done
I think I'm freezin' in
the heat of the sun.
My woman say she love me,
say what'll wanna do you
I just don't know what to
do, I know I love her,
But another woman mine
I just don't know what to
do, can't be the one who's cryin'
And I feel so strange about
what I've done
Yes, you know I feel like
a freezin', freezin' in the heat of the sun
I say why have I always
got two rollin' the same ol' time?
Unbroken Chain [Lesh/Peterson]
Blue light rain, whoa unbroken
chain,
Looking for familiar faces
in an empty window pane.
Listening for the secret,
searching for the sound
But I could only hear the
preacher and the baying of his hounds.
Willow sky, whoa, I walk
and wonder why,
They say love your brother,
but you will catch it when you try.
Roll you down the line boy,
drop you for a loss,
Ride you out on a cold railroad
and nail you to a cross.
November and more, as I wait
for the score,
They're telling me forgiveness
is the key to every door.
A slow winder day a night
like forever,
Sink like a stone, float
like a feather.
(instrumental)
Lilac rain, unbroken chain,
Song of the sawhet owl.
Out on the mountain, it'll
drive you insane,
Listening to the winds howl
Unbroken chain of sorrow
and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea.
Unbroken chain of the western
wind, Unbroken chain of you and me.
Uncle John's Band [Garcia/Hunter]
Well the
First days are the hardest
days, don't you worry any more,
'Cause when life looks like
Easy Street,
There is danger at your
door.
Think this through with
me, let me know your mind,
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
is are you kind? Its a
Buck dancer's choice my
friend; better take my advice.
You know all the rules by
now and the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me?
Won't you come with me?
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
will you come with me?
Goddamn, well I declare,
have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of
cannonballs,
Their motto is "Don't tread
on me".
Come hear Uncle John's Band
playing to the tide,
Come with me, or go alone,
he's come to take his children home.
It's the same story the crow
told me; it's the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you
come and like the wind you go.
Ain't no time to hate, barely
time to wait,
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine and
I call it Beggar's Tomb;
I got me a violin and I
beg you call the tune,
anybody's choice, I can
hear your voice.
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
how does the song go?
Come hear Uncle John's Band
by the riverside,
Got some things to talk
about, here beside the rising tide.
Come hear Uncle John's Band
playing to the tide,
Come on along, or go alone,
he's come to take his children home.
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
how does the song go.
Come hear Uncle John's Band,
by the riverside.
Got some things to talk
about, here beside the rising tide.
Come hear Uncle John's Band,
playing to the tide.
Come on along or go alone,
he's come to take his children home
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

U.S. Blues [Garcia/Hunter]
Red and white, blue suede
shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive,
ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't
change.
Stay seventy-two come shine
or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag,
rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it
wide and high.
Summertime done, come and
gone, my, oh, my.
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who
I am;
Been hidin' out in a rock
and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook
the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, light
your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health,
share your wealth,
Run your life, steal your
wife.
Wave that flag, wave it
wide and high.
Summertime done, come and
gone, my, oh, my.
Back to back chicken shack.
Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's
to lose?
You can call this all the
United States Blues.
Wave that flag, wave it
wide and high.
Summertime done, come and
gone, my, oh, my.
