TOUCH OF GREY - Grateful Dead (Garcia/Hunter)
Album: In the Dark
Brian Hardy - bhardy@sbcglobal.net
touch_of_grey.tab
Original as personally interpreted. Standard tuning. 
==============================================================
The vertical lines over the tab indicate the sections - if 
you focus on playing the sections individually, you can then
assemble them together into the whole piece, otherwise it's 
kind of intense to keep track of....
(/ slide up)(\ slide down)(h hammer on)
Start after last "I will get by" in chorus then riff takes off

..."It's a lesson...to me..." (back into lyrics)

Song:    Touch of Grey, Solo
Artist:  Grateful Dead
Album:   In The Dark

	Here's the solor for the album version of "Touch of Grey".  He
plays
some of the notes very softly, so there may be some very minor
differences
as a result.  At any rate, this transcription should be almost entirely
accurate.  I used "CD Looper" software to help speed up the process.  As
the timing is often difficult and time consuming to accurately show
throughout, I have indicated song times where it was convenient and
suggest
that you listen closely to the album while following the notation below.
I have tried, in many cases, to indicate differences in note length by
using the relative separation of the notes below.

If you have any suggestions or corrections,
please e-mail me: mah77@cornell.edu

 Touch of Grey

In the Dark                                  
1987                                     
 
Tabbed by: Chad Stobbie
Email: cstobbie@iastate.edu
Tuning: Standard. No capo needed.

[Intro]
Chord progression is A E A E B F# B. Repeat a few times.
I prefer to use power chords for the B and the F# because
it's much easier and pretty much sounds the same. You don't
have to if you don't want, though.

A|--0--2-2-2--0--2-2-2--2--4---4---2--4---4----|
E|-------------------------2-2-2------2-2-2----|

[Verse 1]
Chord progression is B F# B E A E for the first line and then
F# B E for the second line. Repeat that for the third and fourth
lines. The chords are the same for all 4 verses, so all the verse
tabs are the same except for lyrics, I just included them all to 
make it extra easy. Just know you only have to learn this once.
Lyrics are not exactly lined up, but close.

      Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause,         it's alright


[Chorus]
Chord progression is F# B E for the first two lines and then
F# B A E F# for the third line. You won't be able to play the first F#
on the second and third lines due to the riff overlapping with it. It still 
sounds fine.

[Solo]
It's easiest to learn it broken up into little sections. I have done that for you.
I am very confident that this is accurate; it sounds perfect when I play it.

[Chorus 4]
Similar to the first 3. On the transition from "I will get by" to
"We will get by" strum the F# 4 times loudly (its very obvious). After that
the song begins to fade out. Here's how I like to end it: wait for the last 
audible chorus riff at 5:40, play it, but without the last note, then very 
quickly transition to the intro riff, play that a twice, and end on a B.
Like so:

  5:40
