Subject: Chords to "Rosemary" by the Grateful Dead
Here are the chords to the Grateful Dead's song "Rosemary".
Lyrics by Robert Hunter/Music by Jerry Garcia.
>From the album "Aoxomoxoa".
Chords figured by Insane Carnation. catfood3@ix.netcom.com
Upon listening to this song the lyrics are fuzzy due to the wonderful
filter on the vocals, giving it that creepy haunting sound. i have found
no less than three different "official" words to the first line, some
funnier than others. "Swath of heaven..." to (what i hear) "Scents of
heather...", the one here is from Hunter's book _Box of Rain_. That, to
me, is the final word, aye?
i also found that the chords listed in a certain music book are
very close, but not exact. Perhaps neither are mine, but here they are.
As always, corrections are welcome...
E (7th fret) D (5th fret)
Her boots were of leather, a breath of cologne
AHer mirrBmor was the AwindEow, she sat quite alone.
EAll arouF#nd her the garden then grew
AScarletBm and purpleA and cErimson and blue.
EShe came andD she went and at last went away
AHer gardenBm was sealedA when thEe flowers decayed.
EOn the wallF# of the garden a legend did say:
&Aquot;NoBm one may cAome here sinBmce no one may stay_____."
