  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 I come around again.

     D                 A             C#7              F#m

  It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same.

    F#m                 C#7            Em            G

  I must turn down your offer, but I'd like to ask a break

               D             A              C#7        F#m - F#

  You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take

  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 know I turned around to see

         Bm       Bm7    E        A       D                  E

  It was midnight in the Mission, and the bells were not for me.

       D    ..E.. Bm       C#m         D              A

  Come again,     walking along in the Mission in the rain

  G     D    F#m(c# bass) Bm      C#m          D              A

  Come again,             walking along in the Mission in the rain.

  (walk down: a-g#-f#-)

  

  Ten years ago I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall.

  Tonight I would be thankful Lord for any dream at all.

  Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true,

  But anything you gather is just more that you can lose,

  Come again... (chorus repeat)

  

  All the things I planned to do I only did halfway,

  Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday

  There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain,

  No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same

  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!
