Chord Terrapin Station by Grateful Dead

intro : strum F Dm F Dm F so on , the lick sort of just comes naturally G Dm Am G F let my inspiration flow in token rhyme , suggesting rhythm , F C F C C F G C Dm7 that will not forsake me , till my tale is told and done . G Dm Am G while the firelights aglow , strange shadows from the flames will F grow , F C F till things weve never seen will seem familiar . same pattern for the following verses : shadows of a sailor , forming winds both foul and fair all swarm . down in carlisle , he loved a lady many years ago . here beside him stands a man , a soldier from the looks of him , who came through many fights , but lost at love . while the storyteller speaks , a door within the fire creaks; suddenly flies open , and a girl is standing there . eyes alight , with glowing hair , all that fancy paints as fair , she takes her fan and throws it , in the lions den . which of you to gain me , tell , will risk uncertain pains of hell? i will not forgive you if you will not take the chance . the sailor gave at least a try , the soldier being much too wise , strategy was his strength , and not disaster . heres the solo . sorry , scratch that . please , will somebody tab the solo? the sailor , coming out again , the lady fairly leapt at him . thats how it stands today . you decide if he was wise . the storyteller makes no choice . soon you will not hear his voice . his job is to shed light , and not to master . interlude thingy goes F for a while , Cmaj7 for a while , C7 , then : F Dm C7 C since the end is never told , we pay the teller off in gold , F Dm E in hopes he will return , but he cannot be bought or sold . then : E A D E A inspiration , move me brightly . light the song with sense and color; A E A E hold away despair , more than this i will not ask . E F#m A D C#m Bm E A faced with mysteries dark and vast , statements just seem vain D C#m Bm at last . A Bm A Bm A Bm A some rise , some fall , some climb , to get to terrapin . E A E F#m A D C#m Bm counting stars by candlelight , all are dim but one is bright; E A D E the spiral light of venus , rising first and shining best , E A E F#m A D C#m Bm on , from the northwest corner , of a brand new crescent moon , E A D A E while crickets and cicadas sing , a rare and different tune , E B A terrapin station . E B E B A in the shadow of the moon , terrapin station . A D E and i know well be there soon , terrapin E i cant figure out , terrapin , if its the end or beginning , terrapin , E but the trains put its brakes on , terrapin , E D and the whistle is screaming , terrapin .
