Grateful Dead "Mountains Of The Moon" Playboy After Dark chords
Start Jamming...
So there we [Db] were.
There was a scene in the top seven of the [C] list.
The arts and the teach with the buck [Bm] knives.
Jerry, the [Bbm] Grateful Dead has been a part of the San Francisco scene for about [C] four or five years.
[Ab] Right.
Is the [Eb] hippie scene changing now?
I understand that
Yeah, well, we're all big people now.
Certainly big in terms of publicity, etc.
[Eb] But I understand the Haight-Ashbury scene has changed a good deal.
Well, Haight-Ashbury [C] is just [Bm] a place, you know, it's just a street.
It's not really [Gb] the thing
It never was the thing that was going on.
It was just the thing that got the publicity.
Right, right.
That's the thing people could talk about because [G] it's easy to remember.
Well, they held, like, what, about a summer ago, they held a funeral [Bb] for hippiedom.
Right, and that was [F]
all [Bb] of us saying, we're not going to tell anybody [Gb] anymore what we did.
And start enjoying it again.
Right, right.
[Bb] Well, I noticed that with your own group, you've got kind of a [Gb] stereo effect going on here with [G] drums.
You have two complete sets of [Gb] drums and two drummers.
[F]
Obviously for a purpose.
Right, mutual annihilation.
[Bm] I see.
In other words, the guys kind of compete with one another?
Well, they more chase each other [Bb] around.
It's like the serpent that eats its own tail, you know.
And it goes [Ab] around and around like that.
And if you can stand in [F] between them, they make big figure eights on their sides in your [Bb] head.
I don't [Eb] think I want to stand between them.
I [Bb] think I'll stay back a little bit.
But I noticed that the [A] guys are near their instruments here.
And the kids have kind of [Bb] settled down.
I wonder if we could get you to do a number for [Ab] us.
Absolutely not.
[G]
Good.
[Em] We'll be back in a second.

Mountains of the Moon.
That's the big one up [G] there.
Cold [F] mountain water, [Dm] the cheap
[G] merchant's not there.
Mountains of [F] the Moon, [Dm] Electro-Bao [G] invented me.
I hold [F] the carrion [Dm] crows, for they're all [G] the same with them.
I hold [F] the carrion [Dm] crows, thou invented [G] me.
[D] [C] Hey,
[G] Tom Ben-Jo.
[C]
Hey, [G] O 'Lorough.
[Dm]
More than laurel [G] you may sow.
[Dm]
More than [A] laurel you [G] may sow.
[Dm]
[G] Hey, the laurel, hey, [Am] the city [D]
in [G] the rain.
[C] [G] Hey, [F] hey, [C] hey, the white [G] weed [Em] waving in [Dm] the wind.
[G] Twenty [F] degrees of solitude, [Dm] twenty [G] degrees of norm.
All the dancing kings and [Dm] wives assembled in [G] the hall.
Lost is the [F] long and loneliest [Dm] time, very [G] simple is nigh.
All along [F] the, all [G] along [Dm] the mountains [G] of the Moon.
[C]
Hey, [G] Tom Ben-Jo.
[C] It's time to let turn.
The [Dm] Earth will see you [G] on through this time.
[Dm] The Earth will see you [G] on through this time.
[D] [G] Down by the water, the [Am] Marsh King's [D] daughter [G] did you know.
[C] [G] Clothed in [F] tatters, [C]
always [G] will be [Em] Tom, where did [Dm] you go?
[G]
Mountains [F] of the Moon, [Dm] Electro-Mountains of [G] the Moon.
All along [F] the, all along [Dm] the mountains [G] of the Moon.
I hope [F] that Gary and Crow, [Dm]
Bob and [G] Robbie may know.
I hope [F] that Gary and Crow, [Dm]
found Ben [G]-to-me,
[Dm] Ben-to-me.
