THE wd STANDS FOR LIKE A WALKDOWN I GUESS
NOT REALLY THOUGH NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT
I JUST SWITCH TO A G7 BUT I DONT PLAY THE LOW E STRING G NOTE SO JUST STRUM THE G7 FROM THE B NOTE ON THE 5TH STRING IT KINDA GIVES IT A LITTLE HARMONY AS IT MOVES TO THE C SO IT WOULD BE LIKE

G / /|G / G7|C / /|


AND THE C6 IM NOT SURE I THINK THAT IS A 6 ITS A C WITH AN ADDED A NOTE...IT WOULD BE
X32210

I GUESS THAT COULD BE SEEN AS AN Am WITH THE C BASS NOTE BUT ILL GO WITH C6 SINCE THERES ALREADY A C CHORD AND NO AM


I HOPE THATS RIGHT

put an "F" where the "wd" is and you're there...imho

There you have it! Direct from RUKind! Enjoy! Peace.

    C              D
You tell me you're lonely
  Bm            Em
I know how you feel
        C         D
Leaning up at the bones
        Bm         Em
Rocking back on my heals
        C              D
She's a wild bird that wandered
    G         Em
Too easy, too stray
  C               D
I knew she had to lose me
   Bm           Cmaj7/E
To find her own way

Em         C              G
Oh, curry*, I'll be coming soon
            G     G7  C            F    F#     G
Through the Lou'siana pines to the Mississippi moon
            G     G7  C            F    F#     G
Through the Lou'siana pines to the Mississippi moon

A wave on the ocean
A whirlwind on the sea
I took a notion
That her ship would not ?wave?
So light me a candle
In the forest so deep
Honey, lay down beside me
Angels rock us to sleep

Oh, curry, I'll be coming soon
Through the Lou'siana pines to the Mississippi moon
Through the Lou'siana pines to the Mississippi moon

* prepare, make one presentable, spruce up

i havent checked the recording but with my guitar here and now i prefer the C6 over this cmaj7....

To tell you the truth I'm not really well aquainted with this song. Sure I have the album but it's not really my favorite. It has a few good songs but nothing really spectacular. "Let It Rock" and "Russian Lulabye" are really the best songs on the album. I prefer Garcia over Complements. Also I just looked in my Garcia songbook and C6 is really the "Official" chord. Peace.

perfect thanks again guys

Hey I worked on the intro to it last night from 9-1-89. The arpeggiated intro. So ill put it on tonight. I might do the solo too.

please do....maybe youll inspire me to play this one again

Whirlwind on the sand .... ship would not land.
