Grateful Dead — Days Between Chords
DAYS BETWEEN
(ROBERT HUNTER/JERRY GARCIA)
NOTE: I tried to ensure that I replaced all the "Tab stops" from Notepad
with spaces, but I may have missed some. If something doesn't sound right,
play the offending chord(s) a few beats later and it should work out . . .
Capo 2nd Fret
Asus2
There were days
Asus2 A Asus2 Em
and there were days
Em C
and there were days between
Bm C
Summer flies and August dies
G D
the world grows dark and mean
Bm C
Comes the shimmer of the moon
Bm C
on black infested trees
D Em
the singing man is at his song
D Em
the holy on their knees
A Em
The reckless are out wrecking
A Em
The timid plead their pleas
Bm C
No one knows much more of this
G D C Em (Intro)
than anyone can see can see
Asus2
There were days
Asus2 A Asus2 Em
and there were days
Em C
and there were days besides
Bm C
when phantom ships with phantom sails
G D
set to sea on phantom tides
Bm C
Comes the lightning of the sun
Bm C
on bright unfocused eyes
D Em
the blue of yet another day
D Em
a springtime wet with sighs
A Em
a hopeful candle lingers
A Em
in the land of lullabies
Bm C
where headless horsemen vanish
G D C Em (Intro)
with wild and lonely cries lonely cries
Asus2
There were days
Asus2 A Asus2 Em
and there were days
Em C
and there were days I know
Bm C
when all we ever wanted
G D
was to learn and love and grow
Bm C
Once we grew into our shoes
Bm C
we told them where to go
D Em
Walked halfway around the world
D Em
on promise of the glow
A Em
Stood upon a mountain top
A Em
Walked barefoot in the snow
Bm C
Gave the best we had to give
G D C Em (Intro)
How much we'll never know never know
Asus2
There were days
Asus2 A Asus2 Em
and there were days
Em C
and there were days between
Bm C
polished like a golden bowl
G D
The finest ever seen
Bm C
Hearts of Summer held in trust
Bm C
still tender, young and green
D Em
left on shelves collecting dust
D Em
not knowing what they mean
A Em
Valentines of flesh and blood
A Em
as soft as velveteen
Bm C
hoping love would not forsake
G D C Em (Intro)
the days that lie between lie between
[Fade out. . .]
