Althea -- Grateful Dead (Hunter/Garcia)

INTRO: Bm - A - E - A - Bm - A - E - Bm - A - E - A - Bm - A - E

	Bm	A	E	A	Bm	A	E
	I told Al	thea I was	feeling los	t,	lacking in	some di	rection.

	Bm	A	E	A	Bm	A	E
	Althea told	me upon	scrutin	y that my	back migh	t need pro	tection.

	A	C#m	D	A
I	told Althea that	treachery was	tearing me	limb from limb.

	C#m	E	A	Bm	A	E
Al	thea told me better	cool down	boy,	settle back,	easy Jim.

	Bm	A	E	A
	You may be	Saturday's	child, all	alone,

	Bm	A	E
	Moving with	a tinge of	grace.

	Bm	A	E	A
	You may be a	clown in	the burying	ground,

	Bm	A	E
	Or just another	pretty	face.

	A	C#m	D	A
	You may meet in the fate of O	phelia	sleeping and penchant to	dream.

	C#m	E	Bm	A	E
	Honest to the point of	recklessness,	self-centered	in the	extreme.

	Bm	A	E	A
	Ain't nobody	messing with	you, but	you,

	Bm	A	E
	Your friends are	getting most	concerned.

	Bm	A	E	A	Bm	A	E
	Loose with the	truth baby	it's your	fire	but baby	don't get	burned.

	A	C#m	D	A
	When the smoke has	cleared, she said,	that's what she said	to me.

	C#m	E	Bm	A	E
	Gonna want a bed to	lay your head	and a little	sympathy.

	D	E
	There are things you can replace,	and others you cannot.

	D	G
	The time has come to	weigh those things.

	E	Bm	A	E
	This space is getting hot,	you know this	space is getting	hot.

	Bm	A	E	A	Bm	A	E
	I told Al	thea I'm a	roving	son,	and I was	born to be a ba	chelor.

	Bm	A	E	Bm	A	E
	Althea told	me, okay,	that's fine	so now	I'm trying to	catch her.

	A	C#m
	Can't talk to you about	talking to me,

	D	A
We're	guilty of the same old thing.

	C#m	A
	Been talking a lot about	less and less

	Bm	A	E
	And forgetting	the love we	bring.
