I don't know if the chords are right because a friend of mine showed me how to play it. In any case, here it is: Artist:Greatful Dead Song: "Franklin's Tower" Album :Blues For Allah Written By:Robert Hunter (Words); Jerry Garcia and Bill Kreutzmann (Music) A: 002220 G:320033 D: 000323 A G D G A G D G In another time's forgotten space, your eyes looked from your mother's face A G D G A G D G Wild flower seed on the sand and stone, may the four winds blow you safely home A G D G A G D G A G D G A G D G Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. A G D G A G D G I'll tell you where the four winds dwell, in Franklin's Tower there hangs a bell A G D G A G D G It can ring, turn night to day, it can ring like fire when you lose your way A G D G A G D G A G D G A G D G Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. A G D G A G D G God save the child who rings the bell, it may have one good ring; baby, you can't tell A G D G A G D G One watch by night, one watch by day, if you get confused, listen to the music play A G D G A G D G A G D G A G D G Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. A G D G A G D G Some come to laugh thier past away, some come to make it one more day A G D G A G D G Whichever way your pleasure tends, if you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind A G D G A G D G A G D G A G D G Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. A G D G A G D G In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep, like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep A G D G A G D G Wild flower seed in the sand and wind, may the four winds blow you home again A G D G A G D G A G D G A G D Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. This song could be dead solid perfect or totally wrong, I don't know. However, this is how I learned it and this is how I play it. If it is totally wrong, at least the words are here. That is all! No Worries! Bill Schofield (and Caroline) Schof26@aol.com |
