Verse 1
(C major) This here's another river song
and it's dedicated to the
memory of Jerry Garcia.
He (F major) came there in the morn (G major) ing,
stood (C major) by (G major) at (A minor) the riverside,
where a (F major) truth flowed from the
(G major) hand of Brother John. (C major)
He closed (F major) his eyes and (G major) held his breath
and (C major) listened for (G major) the (A minor) word
(D major) And a new man made the song to carry on (F major) (G major)
I (F major) was born (G major) to be the minstrel (C major) (A minor) (F major)
To sing (G major) in the streets alone (C major)
To (F major) plant (G major) the seeds of a change (C major)
and (E minor) then move (A minor) on (F major)
Nev (G major) er see them groan (C major)
Son (F major) of a fish (G major) erman,
he sailed (C major) the (E minor) city (A minor) streets
(F major) Catching a life his father (G major) never
dreamed (E minor) (C major)
Singing (F major) like a blind (G major) man
and (C major) listening with (G major) his (A minor) eyes
His (D major) fingers wove the tale
of (D minor) what he'd (D major) seen (F major) (G major) (F major)
I was born (G major) to be the min (C major) strel
To (A minor) (F major) sing (G major) in the streets alone (C major)
(F major) to plant (G major) the seeds of the change (C major)
and then move (E minor) (A minor) on, (F major)
never (G major) see them grow. (C major)
(A minor) He sang for pennies, not for (D minor) princes, (G major)
in the alleys of the man. (C major)
And what (G major) he said (G minor) wasn't wrong,
wasn't (C major) wrong. (D minor)
And what he thought (G minor) wasn't bad,
wasn't bad. (A minor) (C major) (F major) (G major) (E minor)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (A minor) (F major) (G major) (C major)
(F major) I looked for him last (G major) Saturday.
I (C major) was downtown (G major) with a (A minor) friend of mine.
(F major) We checked his favorite spot (G major) s,
but he was gone. (C major)
I closed (F major) my eyes and (G major) followed
him back to (C major) that (G major) river scene
(A minor) And (D major) sang what I
remembered of his song. (F major) (G major) (F major)
I was born (G major) to be the min (C major) strel, (A minor)
To (F major) (G major) sing in the streets alone, (C major)
(F major) To plant (G major) the seeds of the change (C major)
and then move (A minor) on. (C major) (F major)
(G major) Never see them grow. (C major)
Oh, (A minor) nev (F major) er (G major) see
them (C major) grow.
