grateful dead

scarlet begonias

this is the way i've always played it

the first line comes straight from a show they played at cornell

in 1977, phil?s bass booms throughout the whole song

drums and guitar come in first

I.

B 2x

- / 16 x 16 x 16

-

- 2 2 2 / 14 x 14 x 14 6 7 / 9 x 9 x 9 \

-

now this isn?t the way phil plays it in this particular concert but

this is how i play it and if you don?t like it just change it up

it?s just e to b

II.

E B 2x

-

- 6 x 7 x 9 9 \ 6 7p6 0

- 7 7 6 x 9 x

- 7

- 5 55 0 0 4 0 7 5 5 5 5 00 0 4 0 7 5 5 5 00 4 0 7 5 55 00 4 00

repeat intro part in b then go back into e to b part and into a part,

it does this a couple of times and then instead of going into the e

to b part they play:

______

III.

F# B / 1. E

- 11 11 11 x 9 11 |

- |

- 9 9 | / 7

- 7 7 7 7 \ 5 5 5 |

_________

/ 2.E F# A B

-

- 2 4 7 9 11b1/2b11 9

- 2 4 4 6 7 9 9 11

- 0 2/4 2 4/6 5 7/9 7 9/11

the order goes like this

I

II

I

II

I

III

II

I

II etc...

thats all i know, usually they will go from this into fire on the

mountain, which is a b to a progression, but its really easy to

figure out, so try this. later, jr
