I won't leave you driftin' down but whoa it makes me wild, with thirty years upon my head, to have you call me child. [:Chorus same chords and lyrics:] Verse 3 lyrics, same chords as Verse 1: The bottles stand as empty as they were filled before; time there was and plenty but from that cup no more. Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few; don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools. [:Chorus to jam or fade:] ==================================================================== Thanks to the Dead, in and out of garden Jerry goes...
