I'm struggling with how to chord over "Never mind how I stumble and fall." Below is how I arranged the line (with the two preceding lines for context) for my band and self:

... You will [7th pos.] E think me by A contrast quite proper, [quick!] D D/C# A B
never A mind how I stumble Bb and B fall. [4th position very short sig. lick]
Never A mind how I stumble and B fall! [TOMS |||]

This is based on the chords I found in the RUKIND tab and how I hear it played by the Dead. But for some reason, in my own mind, I'm hearing the last line differently, like this:

Never E mind how I stumble and B fall! [TOMS |||]

It seems to work fine either way but my vocals are seeming to fit better over the E rather than the A.

What do y'all do here? And if you play the A, try the E and tell me please what you think of it as an alternate voicing because the E is coming so natural to me, at present, I'm leaning towards switching to it.

Thanks.

You're right, it's E.

With with slide up to the root that Bobby does

Great timing to work on this line Jon.
