Subject: Guitar Tab - Jerry.Garcia (Grateful.Dead), Mission in the Rain


Hi James,

I was looking through your Grateful Dead guitar database and was
taken aback to find one of my own postings from years back - moreso
to realize it was inaccurate. Now a few years' wiser, I'm resubmitting
what are almost certainly the correct chords for my favorite song.

The old file is in the "Grateful.Dead" directory under the name
"Mission.crd." The song is technically by the Jerry Garcia Band,
but I think it's just as well to keep it as it is, all in one 
directory.

Mission in the Rain
by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter
Copyright 1973, Ice Nine Publishing

Single note riffs are mostly excluded, since I haven't found anything 
especially consistent. One note for the enthusiast - any time an
F#m is played before a Bm, Jerry plays it on the 2nd fret and hammers
in a D note on the B string (3rd fret) on the first upswing between the
chord's two downbeats. Also, the third beat of the D chord over 
'missio-o-o-on' in the chorus is staccatto.

Bm - C#7 - F#m
  F#m           C#7          Em          G
I turn and walk away, then ...
   D                 A             C#7              F#m
It looks as though tomorrow ...
  F#m                 C#7            Em            G
I must turn down your offer, but ...
             D             A              C#7        F#m - F#
You know I'm ready to give ....
Bm - C#7 - D....    (bass: b-c#-e-c#-b-lower e)
A... D, A... (walk down: a-g#-f#-)
E                           D      A                D    F#m(c# bass)
Someone called my name, you ...
       Bm       Bm7    E        A       D                  E
It was midnight in the Mission....
     D    ..E.. Bm       C#m         D              A
Come again,     walking along ...
G     D    F#m(c# bass) Bm      C#m          D              A
Come again,             walking ....
(walk down: a-g#-f#-)


All the things I planned to ...

Come again... (chorus repeat, 
keep repeating: Bm, C#m, D, A, G, D, F#m...)

End: Bm, C#m, D, A.

Hope this is all laid out right. And thanks for the archive!
