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

A Bm A E

Her mirror was the window, she sat quite alone.

E F#

All around her the garden then grew

A Bm A E

Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue.

E D

She came and she went and at last went away

A Bm A E

Her garden was sealed when the flowers decayed.

E F#

On the wall of the garden a legend did say:

A Bm A Bm

"No one may come here since no one may stay_____."
