Where to find this song - Workingman's Dead track # 8
Release Date - June 1970
Throughout most of three decades, this band was the object of love
for popular music's most celebrated fan following -- the Deadheads.
Their numbers and devotion were legendary in their own right -- The
Grateful Dead were the ultimate cult band, and a great deal of popular
bands get their stylings from this band.

The Chorus has 3 different parts. Two rhythm
guitar parts and a bouncing bass line (we'll learn the 1st rhythm guitar

Guitar 1
Guitar 2
There are a couple of new chord forms presented
here that were not in the 1st verse. Here they are:
F
G (type 2)
E7
Bass Guitar
Many of you guitar players will probablly try to skip over this part,
but I think you should try to learn it anyway. You don't even need a
bass guitar. You can learn to play it on your 6 string guitar. The 4
strings on the bass guitar are the same as the bottom 4 strings on the
guitar: E,A,D,G.
