Grateful Dead Music Forum

some of these tabs are great but this is awefulllllll. i have used rukind forever and i just now took the time to register after looking at this tab.

So is it the E that is throwing you off? or the A?

yeah could you elaborate. This tab has always sounded great to me. The only thing I do different is sometimes I add a D right between the change from A to E. This tab is right on target imo.

You are diligently working on a revisement of this inferior tab, right GratefulPat?

This tab sounds right to me also.....unless you can prove it otherwise.

It's always nice when someone takes a crap in the room and then leaves.

After listening to Grateful Dead music for over 30 years (God, has it been that long!) and playing it for over 25, I am reasonably sure that the chords are correct.

Perhaps gratefulpat is attempting to play along with one of the many other artists' interpretations of this old, traditional number.

My guess however, is that we won't hear from gratefulpat again, and we certainly won't see a "correct" tab posted.

Let's move on, folks.

not the chord progression, the actual tabs for the intro the e to a lick and the closing. some1 tell me how to tape myself playing it and put it on here and ill show you how its supposed to be

no ed thats not right. i play all dead all the time and am damn good at it. if you would have read it right i said the tabbing, not the chords. any genius could figure that out

Wow way to treat the administrator of this site. That took his valuable time to make this all happen. btw its called "Interpretation!!!!!!"

And I, for one, find nothin wrong with that tab. The only part im a little iffy on is the We Bid You Goodnight tab. Mostly because ive only heard it acapella. You dont need to tape it. Just tab it. But you prolly wont do that.

thats the intro. every few times alternate the 2nd fret on the d for an open E
