  Althea -- Grateful Dead (Hunter/Garcia)

   

  INTRO: Bm - A - E - A - Bm - A - E - Bm - A - E - A - Bm - A - E

   

  Bm       A          E          A  Bm         A      E

  I told Althea I was feeling lost, lacking in some direction.

   

  Bm          A       E      A         Bm       A         E

  Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection.

   

    A                C#m           D          A

  I told Althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb.

   

    C#m                 E         A    Bm          A         E

  Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy Jim.

   

  Bm         A          E         A

  You may be Saturday's child, all alone,

   

  Bm          A          E

  Moving with a tinge of grace.

   

  Bm          A         E           A

  You may be a clown in the burying ground,

   

  Bm             A       E

  Or just another pretty face.

   

  A                            C#m    D                        A

  You may meet in the fate of Ophelia sleeping and penchant to dream.

   

  C#m                    E             Bm           A       E

  Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme.

   

  Bm           A            E        A

  Ain't nobody messing with you, but you,

   

  Bm               A            E

  Your friends are getting most concerned.

   

  Bm             A          E         A    Bm       A         E

  Loose with the truth baby it's your fire but baby don't get burned.

   

  A                  C#m                D                    A

  When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me.

   

  C#m                 E             Bm          A         E

  Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy.

   

  D                                 E

  There are things you can replace, and others you cannot.

   

  D                    G

  The time has come to weigh those things.

   

  E                          Bm            A                E

  This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot.

   

  Bm       A          E      A    Bm        A              E

  I told Althea I'm a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor.

   

  Bm         A          E           Bm    A              E

  Althea told me, okay, that's fine so now I'm trying to catch her.

   

  A                       C#m

  Can't talk to you about talking to me,

   

        D                            A

  We're guilty of the same old thing.

   

  C#m                     A

  Been talking a lot about less and less

   

  Bm            A            E

  And forgetting the love we bring.
