Grateful Dead - Days Between

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
