Nothing to add execpt that there is a fantastic version of this on the "bonus" disc that came with the Fillmore 10-CD box set.

I asked the same request a little while ago and never got any response. I was inspired to ask by that version on the bonus disc. Great one!

My fave is definitely the aforementioned LDBS bonus track, Dancin'> He Was from 6/8/1969. Which of course is described so beautifully by Phil in Searching For The Sound!
I've never felt this song needed a tab! So plaintive and folky. It goes A A E D E D E D A D A D A D A

'Cause he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
