I feel as though learning to play Grateful Dead songs is a lot of fun, and it always teaches me something about music in general, especially if I take the time to learn all of the correct riffs. RUKind.org has always been a great resource for learning Dead tunes, and they even offer audio support. Below are the chords and lyrics to a hauntingly beautiful song, "Crazy Fingers," and lower still is a video of the tune being performed at the Dean Dome in North Carolina in 1993.
Crazy Fingers
(Garcia/Hunter)
D C G
Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Bb F Fm Gsus4 G
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
Bb Bbm Ebmaj7 Cm G Gsus4 G
Recall the days that still are to come. Some sing blue.
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water, deep sea of love
Beneath the cool calm face of the sea swift undertow.
Fm Ab Eb
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know,
Fm Ab Eb Cm/G G7
See how it feels in the end.
Ab Ao7 Ebmaj7
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Db7 Dbmaj7 Gsus4 G
Soft, strong, sweet and true.
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Tapping at the window, touch your hair
So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air.
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside .
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go, we just ride.
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone, both dream and lie.
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know,
Feels like it might be all right,
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you
Love still rings true.
Midnight on a carousel ride
Reaching for the gold ring down inside
Never could reach it, just slips away but I try.
