Grateful Dead (también conocidos entre sus seguidores como "The Dead") fue un grupo de rock americano influenciado por la psicodelia. Creado en 1965 por integrantes de otro grupo, "Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions", Grateful Dead se dieron a conocer gracias a su estilo de composición único y ecléctico --que fusionaba elementos del rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country y jazz-- y por las largas improvisaciones que realizaban en sus actuaciones.

G Thing A7D7G GCG Once upon a time there was an engineer A7D7 Drove a locomotive both far and near GC Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on his stool GA7D7G Watching everything the engineer would move GCG One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat A7D7 He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat GC The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun GA7D7G And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run GCG Big locomotive right on time A7D7 Big locomotive comin' down the line GC Big locomotive number ninety-nine GA7D7G Left the engineer with a worried mind
G Thing A7D7G
The Engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
Switch operator got the message on time
Said, there's a northbound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind *Solo* (verse (x2))
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
GA7D7G Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind...
