Touch of Grey
Grateful Dead
Intro - B F# B F# C# G# C# G# (X2)
B F# B E A E
Must be getting early, clocks are running late,
F# B E
Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony.
B F# B E A E
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare,
F# B 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 E F#
I will bet by,
E A E B F# B F#
I will survive.
B F# B E A E
I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out,
F# B E
Yes I get the gist of it, but it's all right.
B F# B E A E
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say,
F# B E
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey.
Chorus
F# B E
I will get by,
F# B E
I will get by,
F# B A E F#
I will bet by,
E A E B F# B F#
I will survive.
C#m F# C#m F#
It's a lesson to me, the Ables and the Bakers and the Cs
D#m A# C#m F#
The ABCs we all must face, and try to keep a little grace.
C#m F# C#m F#
It's a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze
D#m A# C#m F#m
The ABCs, we all think of, try to give a little love
B F# B E A E
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years,
F# B E
It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right.
B F# B E A E
Cows giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen,
F# B E
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right.
Chorus
B F# B E A E
The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it
F# B E
Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause, it's all right.
B F# B E A E
Oh, well, a Touch of Grey, kind of suits you anyway
F# B E
That was all I had to say, it's all right.
F# B E
I will get by,
F# B E
I will get by,
F# B A E F#
I will bet by,
E A E B F# B F#
I will survive.
