Touch of Grey
Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter

Grateful Dead
In the Dark
1987

I grabbed this MP3 while I was still very unknowledgeable
about the Dead.  Well, I still know nothing, but here are
the chords.  It's a fun song...

B                           E                  Esus4  E
   It must be getting early clocks are running late
F#                            E
   Paint by number morning sky looks so phony
B                              E              Esus4     E
   Dawn is breaking everywhere light a candle curse the glare
F#                                     E
   Draw the curtains I don't care cause it's alright

CHORUS
F#   B        E
   I will get by
F#   B        E
   I will get by
F#   B        A  G#m  F#
   I will get by
          play 1 line of intro
I will survive


I see you've got your fist out say your piece and get out
I guess I get the gist of it but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way the only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey


CHORUS

BRIDGE
C#m       Fº        F#
   It's a lesson to me
    C#m           Fº             F#
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
C#m        D#  C#            F#
   The A-B-C's   we all must face
B         A               B F#    B F#
   Try to keep a little grace


SOLO

chorus chords

BRIDGE
It's a lesson to me
The deltas and the east and the freeze
The A-B-C's we all think of
Try to leave a little love


I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears but it's alright
Cows giving kerosene kid can't read at seventeen
The words she knows are all obscene but it's alright


CHORUS


The shoe is on the hand that fits there's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit cause it's alright
Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say and it's alright


CHORUS 3x
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

repeat and fade
