Yeah, I know this is a dumb question but I'm gonna ask anyway. Does anyone have the chord for "Can't Come Down"? If not chords atleast what key is it in? I figured out "Hog for You" and "Oh, Boy" from Skull and Roses, and I was all gung ho when I got to this song thinking I might get it, I gan't even figure out what key it's in!

So if anyone has the chords of at least the key I'd be a happy camper. Thanks.

Thanks man. I haven't actually tried the song yet so thanks for the responce.

Code: Select all: A (G) G A G I'm flying down deserted streets A G A G Wrapped in mother's winding sheets A G A G Asbestos boots on flaming feet A G A G Dreaming of forbidden treats A G A G When uniforms on nighttime beats A G A G Ask me where I'm going and what I eat A G A G I answer them with a voice so sweet D E I can't come down, it's plain to see C A I can't come down, I've been set free A G D E D E Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me

I placed the chords where I think they go best. Tell me if I'm close.
P.S. Hopefully the chords stay in place.

So Ive been listening to the Dead since 85.
I thought I heard it all.Not this song until the summer when I heard it on Sirius.

Hog for you and Oh Boy arent on my copy of Skull and Roses(Ya know "Grateful Dead").
