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
