Music by Phil Lesh
Words by Robert Hunter
======================
[INTRO]
(
A) (
Bm7/A) (
A) (
Asus4)
(
D) (
Am)
Look out of any window
(
Em) (
C)
Any morning, any evening, any day
(
D) (
Am)
Maybe the sun is shining
(
Em) (
G) (
A)
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
(
D) (
G) (
Am) (
Em) (
D)
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
(
C) (
D) (
Am)
For this is all a dream we dreamed, one afternoon long ago
(
D) (
Am)
Walk out of any doorway
(
Em) (
C) (
G)
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
(
D) (
Am)
Maybe you'll find direction
(
Em)
Around some corner where
(
G) (
A)
It's been waiting to meet you
(
D) (
G)
What do you want me to do?
(
Am) (
Em) (
D)
To watch for you while you're sleeeeeeeeping?
(
Am) (
C) (
G) (
D)
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
(
D) (
Am)
Look into any eyes
(
Em) (
C) (
G)
You find by you, you can see clear to another day
(
D) (
Am) (
Em)
Maybe been seen before through other eyes
(
G) (
A)
On other days while going home
(
D) (
G) (
Am) (
Em) (
D)
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
(
C) (
Em) (
D) (
G)
It's all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go
(
D) (
Am) (
Em)
Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way through
(
C) (
G)
Dead dreams to another land
(
D) (
Am) (
Em)
Maybe you're tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with
(
G) (
A)
Words half-spoken and thoughts unclear
(
D) (
G) (
Am) (
Em) (
D)
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
(
Am) (
C) (
G) (
D)
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
(
G) (
Am) (
Em)
Just a box of rain, wind and water
(
C) (
A) (
D)
Be-lieve it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on.
(
G) (
Am) (
Em)
Sun and shower, wind and rain
(
C) (
D) (
Em) (
A)
In and out the window, like a moth before a flame
(
A) (
D) (
Em)
And it's just a box of rain
(
Em) (
G) (
D)
I don't know who put it there;
(
D) (
Bm) (
G) (
A)
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
(
A) (
D) (
Em)
And it's just a box of rain
(
Em) (
G) (
D)
Or a ribbon for your hair
(
Em)
Such a long, long time to be gone
(
G) (
D)
And a short time to be there.
