TOUCH OF GREY - Grateful Dead

Intro.: [A - E][B - F#]

[B]Must be getting [F#]early,[B]

[E]clocks are running [A]late,[E]

[F#]Paint-by-number [B]morning [F#]sky,

[E]looks so phony.

Dawn is breaking everywhere,

light a candle, curse the glare,

Draw the curtains, I don't care,

'cause it's alright.

[F#]I [B]will get [E]by,

I will get by,

I will bet [A]by,[E][F#]

I will [E]survive. [F#]

I see you've got your list out,

say your piece and get out,

Yes 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.

Refrão

[C#m]It's a [C#m7}lesson to [F#]me,

the Ables and the Bakers and the Cs

[D#m]The [A#7]ABCs

[C#m]we all must [F#]face,

[B]and try to [E]keep a little [F#]grace.

solo

It's a lesson to me,

the deltas and the east and the freeze

The ABCs, we all think of,

try to give 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.

Cows giving kerosene,

kid can't read at seventeen,

The words he knows are all obscene,

but it's all right.

Refrão

The shoe is on the hand it fits,

there's really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit,

'cause, it's all right.

Oh, well, a Touch of Grey,

kind of suits you anyway

That was all I had to say,

it's all right.

I will get by, ....

We will get by, ....
