Touch of Grey

The Grateful Dead

A2 E A2 E   B2 F# B2 F# (x2)
        B2                        F#   B2  E                               A2   E
          Must be getting early   -   clocks are running late
        F#                         F#          B2   E
          Paint by number morning sky  -  looks so phony
          Dawn is breaking everywhere - light a candle, curse the glare
          Draw the curtains I don't care - cause it's all right

                          F# B2        E  (G#)(A)(A#)(B)  (E)(F#)(G)(G#)  (F#)(G)(G#)
                             I will get by
                             I will get by
                          F# B2        A2 E F#                        A2 E A2 E   B2 F# B2 F#
                             I will get by-y-y  -  I will survive

          I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out
          Guess I get the gist of it, but it's all right
          Sorry that you feel that way - the only thing there is to say
          Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

                             I will get by
                             I will get by
                             I will get by - I will survive

                                            C#m     B2           F#
                                                It's a lesson to me
                                                The Ables and the Beggars and the C's
                                              D#m     G# C#2                F#
                                                The abc's - we all think of
                                              B2        E                F#
                                                Try to win a little love
                                                               *Solo*   (verse & chorus)

                                                It's a lesson to me
                                                The delta's in the east and the freeze
                                                The abc's we all think up
                                                Try to win 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 all right
          Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
          The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right

                             I will get by
                             I will get by
                             I will get by - I will survive

          Shoe is on the hand that fits, that's all there really is to it
          Whistle through your teeth and spit, but it's all right
          Oh well a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway
          That is all I have to say, but it's all right

                             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

                             We will get by
                             We will get by
                             We will get by...
