Grateful Dead - I'll Take A Melody lyrics

------------------

I've seen the rain pouring down

The sky was grey with a speck of blue

Peek through a hole in the clouds

The sun was screaming, "Hey, you!"

As you ramble through your sorrow

Seem like everything come out wrong

I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows

I know something's helping me along

I'll take a melody

and see what I can do about it.

I'll take a simple C to G

and feel brand new about it.

I understand why the old fishermen

sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along,

someday he'll be gone.

I hear you talking about your troubles

Everybody's got their troubles too

You can make them burst like bubbles

If you know just what to do

You know I've been called a dreamer

Dreams that never come true

But I've been called so many things before

Tell you what I'm gonna do

I'll take a melody

and see what I can do about it.

I'll take a simple C to G

and feel brand new about it.

I understand why the old fishermen

sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along, sail along,

someday he'll be gone.

I'll take a melody

and see what I can do about it.

I'll take a simple C to G

and feel brand new about it.

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on

shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on

shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on

shining,

Shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining, shine on, keep on

shining
