Franklin’s Tower / Multiple MP3 Versions

Coversong originally made famous by The Grateful Dead
Written by Bill Kreutzmann, Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter

A               G   D             G
In another times forgotten space
A               G          D               G
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
A              G       D                G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A                  G        D            G
May the four winds blow you safely home

A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire if you lose your way

Roll Away the Dew

God save the child that rings that bell
May have one good ring baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play

Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind

Roll Away the Dew

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds, the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again

Roll Away the Dew

Fire On The Mountain MP3s

Coversong originally made famous by The Grateful Dead
Written by lyricist Robert Hunter and composed by drummer Mickey Hart

B                                 A
long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
B                         A
get up get out, get out of the door
B                         A
your playin' cold music on the barroom floor
B                          A
your drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
B                          A
there's a dragon with matches that's loose in the town
B                           A
takes a whole pail of water, just to cool him down

chorus
B                       A
fire,       fire on the mountain
B                       A
fire,       fire on the mountain
B                       A
fire,       fire on the mountain
B                       A
fire,       fire on the mountain

almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat
it takes all you got, just to stay on the beat
you say its a living, we all gotta eat
but your in here alone, there's no one to compete
if mercy's in business i wish for you
more than just ashes when your dreams come true

chorus - JAM

long distance runner, what you holdin' out for
caught in slow motion, in a dash for the door
the flame from your stage, has now spread to the floor
you gave all you had, why you want to give more
the more that you give, the more it will take
to the thin line beyond which, you really can't fake

chorus
