This is how I learned "Franklin's Tower" by the Dead.  I don't know if the
chords are right because a friend of mine showed me how to play it.  In any
case, here it is:

This song could be dead solid perfect or totally wrong, I don't know.
However, this is how I learned it and this is how I play it.  If it is
totally wrong, at least the words are here.  That is all!

No Worries!
