The Grateful Dead



Intro (Repeat a few times):

G C/G



Verse 1:

        C                           G C/G

I had a hard run, runnin' from your window

                C                                      G C/G

I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care

        C                      G       C/G

I had a run in, run around and run down

               C                                       G C/G

Run around the corner, corner, Lord I run smack into a tree





Chorus:

         C     D     Am            G D 

I had to move, move, really had to move

C                 G            D              C    

That's why uf you please, I am on my hand and knees

Am                           C    C/G     

Bertha don't you come around here anymore





Verse 2:

                  C                           G C/G

Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea

                        C                             G C/G

Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines

                      C                                   G C/G

I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, I turned around to see

              C                              G C/G

Heard a voice callin', you were comin' after me



(Chorus)





Verse 3:

           C                                    G C/G

Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door

               C                                         G C/G

It's all night pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me

         C                                G       C/G

Test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me

                  C                                   G C/G

Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down



(Chorus - Repeat a few times)

                    

     G              C/G
