(back into lyrics) Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 00:54:03 -0500 From: Michael Hall Subject: g/grateful_dead/touch_of_grey.tab 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 2:18 2:21 E|---7-------7----6-----6--7--7~~-------------------0-4--5---5-4~----| B|------7--7---7-----7----------------------------5------------------| G|------------------------------------4-/-6-6-6-6--------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 2:24 E|-------------------4----6----7-H-9--11~~----| B|------------7-------------------------------| G|---4-/-6--6---6-------6----6----------------| D|--------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| 2:27 E|---------12---12-----14-P-13-P-12-P-11--12-11-9----9----11~-----| B|--8-H-9-----------------------------------------12---12---------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 2:30 E|--11--9------11--9----------------9----------------4--4--5---5--7---4- --| B|---------12---------12--11--9--11---12~------------------------------- --| G|-----------------------------------------8--6-\-4--------------------- --| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| 2:36 E|----------------------14-------------------------------11~----| B|--------------11----------12-P-11-----12-P-11------12---------| G|------9-/-11------11--------------11-----------13-------------| D|--11----------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| 2:39 E|-----------12~---------14---------16----16~~------| B|------------------------------14------------------| G|--12-H-13-----------14----------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| 2:42 E|-------------------9--------------9--11---12~~----12--11-------------- --| B|--11------11-H-12-----12--11--12--------------------------14--12--11~~ --| G|------11-------------------------------------------------------------- --| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| 2:49 E|------------------------------------11---12~~---12--11---------------- --| B|------12------11-H-12~--11--12--14----------------------14--12--11~~-- --| G|--11------11---------------------------------------------------------- --| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------- --| 2:55 E|-------------------------------11-------9----------------------------- | B|--11--12--14---12--11--12--14-------10-----10-----10------------------ | G|-----------------------------------------------9------9------11~~----- | D|---------------------------------------------------------11----------- | A|---------------------------------------------------------------------- | E|---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Rake 2:59 |----| E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|--11--12--11--9----------------10----------10--9-------| G|-----------------11--13~---------------11--------------| D|-----------------------------------11------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| 3:03 3:06 E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------11-------11-----12---12-12--11~----------| G|----------11-------------------------------------------| D|--9-/-11----------11------11---------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| Touch of Grey Grateful Dead 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. e|-----0---0-----0---0-------------------------| B|--2--0---0--2--0---0-------------------------| G|--2--1---1--2--1---1--4--3---3---4--3---3----| D|--2--2---2--2--2---2--4--4---4---4--4---4----| 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. 0:18 e|-------------------------------------0-------------------------0--| B|-------------------------------------0--------------------2----0--| G|---4-----------------------3----4----1--------------------2----1--| D|---4-----------------------4----4----2--------------------2----2--| A|-2-2-----------------------4--2-2----2------------------0-0--2-2--| E|-------------------------2-2--------------------------------------| It must be getting early, clocks are running late 0:25 e|----------------------------------------0-------------------------| B|----------------------------------------0-------------------------| G|---3--------------------------------4---1-------------------------| D|---4--------------------------------4---2-------------------------| A|---4------------------------------2-2---2-------------------------| E|-2-2--------------------------------------------------------------| Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony 0:30 e|------------------------------------0---------------------------0-| B|------------------------------------0-----------------2---------0-| G|---4-------------------3-----4------1-----------------2---------1-| D|---4-------------------4-----4------2-----------------2---------2-| A|-2-2-------------------4---2-2------2---------------0-0-------2-2-| E|---------------------2-2------------------------------------------| Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare 0:36 e|------------------------------------------------0-----------------| B|------------------------------------------------0-----------------| G|---3-----------------------------4--------------1-----------------| D|---4-----------------------------4--------------2-----------------| A|---4---------------------------2-2--------------2-----------------| E|-2-2--------------------------------------------------------------| 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. 0:43 This part is hard to hear, listen carefully e|---------------------0----------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------0----------------------------------------------------| G|---3-----4-----------1----------------------------------------------------| D|---4-----4-----------2----------------------------------------------------| A|---4---2-2-----------2----------0-1-2---------2---------------------------| E|-2-2-------------------------/4-------0-2-3-4---4-0-2---------------------| I will get by 0:49 e|---------------------0----------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------0----------------------------------------------------| G|---------4-----------1----------------------------------------------------| D|---------4-----------2----------------------------------------------------| A|-------2-2-----------2----------0-1-2---------2---------------------------| E|-----------------------------/4-------0-2-3-4---4-0-2---------------------| I will get by 0:55 Same as intro riff e|--------------------------0-------------0---0-----0---0-------------------| B|---------------------2----0----------2--0---0--2--0---0-------------------| G|---------4-----------2----1----3-----2--1---1--2--1---1--4-3---3--4-3---3-| D|---------4-----------2----2----4-----2--2---2--2--2---2--2-4---4--2-4---4-| A|-------2-2---------0-0--2-2----4-----0--2-2-2--0--2-2-2--2-4---4--2-4---4-| E|-----------------------------2-2---------------------------2-2-2----2-2-2-| I will get by I Will survive [Verse 2] 1:06 e|-------------------------------------0-------------------------0--| B|-------------------------------------0--------------------2----0--| G|---4-----------------------3----4----1--------------------2----1--| D|---4-----------------------4----4----2--------------------2----2--| A|-2-2-----------------------4--2-2----2------------------0-0--2-2--| E|-------------------------2-2--------------------------------------| I see you've got your list out say your piece and get out 1:13 e|-----------------------------------0------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------0------------------------------| G|---3-----------------------4-------1------------------------------| D|---4-----------------------4-------2------------------------------| A|---4---------------------2-2-------2------------------------------| E|-2-2--------------------------------------------------------------| Yes I get the gist of it, but it's alright 1:19 e|------------------------------------0---------------------------0-| B|------------------------------------0-----------------2---------0-| G|---4--------------------3----4------1-----------------2---------1-| D|---4--------------------4----4------2-----------------2---------2-| A|-2-2--------------------4--2-2------2---------------0-0-------2-2-| E|----------------------2-2-----------------------------------------| Sorry that you feel that way the only thing there is to say 1:25 e|------------------------------------0-----------------------------| B|------------------------------------0-----------------------------| G|---3------------------------4-------1-----------------------------| D|---4------------------------2-------2-----------------------------| A|---4----------------------2-2-------2-----------------------------| E|-2-2--------------------------------------------------------------| Every silver lining's got a touch of grey [Chorus 2] Same as the first [Bridge] The guitar part is very quiet, keep listening and you'll get it. 1:54 e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---2-4vvv----2vvv-----1vvv-------------2---4vv---2vv-4-2----1vv-------------| E|-4---------------------------------2-4--------------------------------------| It's a lesson to me the Ables and the Bakers and the C's 2:07 e|-------------------------------------------------0--------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------0--------------------------| G|------------6vv-------6---------3-----4----------1-------------3----4-4-4-3-| D|-/6vvv--4vv-------4-4-----------4-----4----------2-------------4----4-4-4-4-| A|--------------------------------4-----2----------2-------------2----2-2-2-4-| E|--------------------------------2------------------------------2----------2-| The ABC's we all must face, and try to keep a little grace [Solo] It's easiest to learn it broken up into little sections.

[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 e|--------------------------0---0----0---0----------------------0---0----0---0---------------------| B|------------------------2-0---0--2-0---0--------------------2-0---0--2-0---0---------------------| G|------------------------2-1---1--2-1---1--4-3---3--4-3---3--2-1---1--2-1---1--4-3---3--4-3---3--4| D|------------------------2-2---2--2-2---2--4-4---4--4-4---4--2-2---2--2-2---2--4-4---4--4-4---4--4| A|----0-1-2---------2-----0-2-2-2--0-2-2-2--2-4---4--2-4---4--0-2-2-2--0-2-2-2--2-4---4--2-4---4--2| E|-/4-------0-2-3-4---4-0---------------------2-2-2----2-2-2----------------------2-2-2----2-2-2---| And you're done! ************************************ | p Pull-off | / Slide up | v Vibrato ************************************
