Black-Throated Wind Grateful Dead
B[E]ringing me down, [F#m]I'm running aground,
[D]Blind in the li[A]ght of the interstate c[E]ars
[E]Passing me by, [F#m]the busses and semi's,
[D]Plunging like st[A]ones from a slingshot on m[E]ars
[A]But I'm here by the road, b[D]oun[C#m]d to the l[Bm]oad [A]
[Bm]That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and b[E]ars
[A]Alone with the rush of the drivers who w[D]on't pick me [C#m]up [Bm] [A]
[Bm]The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the s[E]tars
[D]Black throated wind[C#m], keeps on po[A]uring in
With its words of a life where nothing is n[E]ew [C] [A]
[D]Ah, mother am[C#m]erican night, [E]I'm lost fr[A]om the light
[G]Oh, [D]I'm drowning in y[A]ou
[E]I left St. Louis, city of b[F#m]lues, [D]in the midst of a s[A]torm I'd rather [E]forget
[E]I tried to pretend it came to an [F#m]end
[D]Cause you weren't the wo[A]man I once thought I'd [E]met
[A]But I can't deny, that t[D]ime[C#m]s have gone [Bm]by B[A]m [Bm]
[Bm]Where I never had doubts or thoughts of r[E]egret
[A]And I was a man when all this be[D]gan[C#m] [Bm] [A]
[Bm]Who wouldn't think twice about being there [E]yet
[D]Black throated wind,[C#m] keeps on po[A]uring in
And it speaks of a life that p[E]asses like dew [C] [A]
[D]It's forced me to [C#m]see that you've done be[E]tter by [A]me
[G]Better by [D]me than I've done by y[A]ou
[E]Now what's to be found racing ar[F#m]ound.
[D]You carry your p[A]ain wherever you g[E]o
[E]All full of the blues and trying to l[F#m]ose
[D]You ain't gonna le[A]arn what you don't wanna kn[E]ow
[A]So I give you my eyes, an[D]d a[C#m]ll of their [Bm]lies [A]
[Bm]Please help them to learn as well as to s[E]ee
[A]Capture a glance, [D]and [C#m]make it d[Bm]ance [A]
[Bm]Of looking at you, looking at [E]me
[D]Black throated wind,[C#m] keeps on pou[A]ring in
With its words of a lie that could al[E]most be true [C] [A]
[D]Ah, mother am[C#m]erican night, h[E]ere co[A]mes the light
[G]I'm turning ar[D]ound, that's what I'm go[A]nna do
[G]Going back h[D]ome that's what I'm go[A]nna do

[E]You're bringing me down, [F#m]I'm running around,
[D]Blind in the [A]lights of the interstate [E]cars,[Esus4]
[E]Passing me by, [F#m]the buses and semis,
[D]Plunging like [A]stones from a slingshot on [E]Mars.
[A]But I'm here by the [A7]road, [D]bound to the [DaddC#]load,
[Bm]I picked up in ten thousand cafes and [E]bars.
[A]Alone with the rush of the [A7]drivers that [D]won't pick me [DaddC#]up,
[Bm]The highway, the moon and the clouds and the [E]stars.
[D]Black throated wind, [F#m]keeps on [A]pourin' in,
With its words of a life where n[E]othing is n[C]ew, [A]
[D]Ah, mother [F#m]American night, [E]I pass [A]from the light,[G]
Ah, [D]I'm drowning in [A]you. [Asus4] [A] [E]
I left St. Louie, city of blues,
In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget.
I tried to pretend it came to an end,
'Cause you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met.
But I can't deny, times have gone by,
I never had doubts or thoughts of regret.
I was a man when all this began,
Who wouldn't think twice about being that yet.
Black throated wind, whisper in sin,
And speaking on life that passes like dew.
It's forced me to see, you've done better by me,
Better by me than I've done by you.
Now what's to be found by racing around,
You carry your pain wherever you go,
Full of the blues and tryin' to lose,
You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know.
So I give you my eyes and all of their lies,
Please help them to learn as well as to see.
Capture a glance, and make it a dance,
But looking at you is looking at me.
Black throated wind, keeps pourin' in,
With its words of a life that could almost be true.
Ah, mother American night, here comes a light,
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do.
Going back home, that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do.
Goin' back home, that's what I'm gonna do.
You've done better by me than I've done by you,
Oh, I'm drowning in you.
