_ _ _ _ [N] But we'll be all we're feeling a little lonely this summer attendance at rock concerts was down
25% it was the worst season in 10 years
Maybe it was MTV or CDs that kept people at home, or maybe it was the recession
[A] But through it all [Em] one band kept selling out.
[Ab] We asked our own Buck Henry to discover their secret

_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ Sell the shirts to be able to be with the band or are you with the band in order to sell [F] the shirts?
[E] Oh, man
What is Tim say it's for the [C] sake of the song for the sake of the song?
It's always what it's the song.
This is all part of it's a non-judgmental
Beauty there's so many happy people and everyone's you know turning around and holding hands cuz you know it's good to touch _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [E] _ We're _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ saving the earth and everyone on the earth
We didn't really invent the Grateful Dead the crowd invented the Grateful Dead you know what I mean we were sort of standing in line and and _ _
_ It's gone way past our expectations way past so it's we've been going along with it to see what it's gonna do [E] next _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Oh
We never [G] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ could sell records we still don't really [C] is like we sell tickets [Bm] that's what everybody [C] knows that we [G] do we sell tickets
_ You want to see [A] tickets?
I'll show you tickets
[D] _ [A] _ [G] 1985 through 1991
Oh, [C] it's a little late for you.
Well.
We save them [G] part of the part of the culture _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ How _ _ many concerts have you take _ _
Trying to think about that.
I would imagine [A] somewhere near [D] 400 of them, so you have [G] several thousand hours
_ _ _ Do _ _ [D] you remember what the first [G] thing that was that made you decide to do this? _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah
Their records back in the [D] 70s such
_ Sound quality was terrible _ _
[Em] And they didn't you know that only shows you're gonna get that are decent or live shows because that's where the energy of the music
Is and the Grateful Dead are really [D] good at letting us do it
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _

[Fm] This is one of the last places in [Cm] America you can really have this kind of fun.
You know considering [Gm] the political [C] climate and so forth
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] Socially we're not really big on [F] rituals.
You know [Cm] we've just about abandoned most of them, and this is real
This is a lot of [Fm] people including ourselves
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
The transformative power of the [Cm] Grateful Dead is really the essence [F] of it.
That's what it can do to your consciousness
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ We're more into transportation than we are [C] into music per se I mean the business of the Grateful Dead is transportation _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
