Grateful Dead — He’s Gone

E                                      
Rat in a train ditch, caught on a limb,  
 A                  B      E
You know better but I know him.  
 E                            
Like I told you, what I said,  
 A                    B        E
Steal your face right off your head. 
 
Refrain:  
 E        A E           A E   A   B
Now he's gone, now he's gone.  He's gone.  
        A               B
Like a steam locomotive rollin' down the track,  
      A              E              E7/D     A         E
He's gone, gone, and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone. 
  
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile, nothin' left to do but smile, 
smile, smile. 
 
Refrain 

 B               D                 A
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,  
 B                 D                 A
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.  
 D                     A           G
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,  
 .  D           Dm      A          B
A knife in the back and more of the same, same old... 
 
Repeat 1st verse then refrain
