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# minorF#m is played before a Bm, Jerry plays it on the 2nd fret and hammers
in a D MajorD note on the BB string (3rd fret) on the first upswing between the
chord's two downbeats. Also, the third beat of the D MajorD chord over
'missio-o-o-on' in the chorus is staccatto.

B minorBm - C#7C#7 - F# minorF#m
 F# minorF#m      C#7C#7     E minorEm     G+G
I turn and walk away, then ...
  D MajorD         A augmentedA       C#7C#7       F# minorF#m
It looks as though tomorrow ...
 F# minorF#m         C#7C#7      E minorEm      G+G
I must turn down your offer, but ...
       D MajorD       A augmentedA       C#7C#7    F# minorF#m - F#F#
You know I'm ready to give ....
B minorBm - C#7C#7 - D....  (bass: b-c#-e-c#-b-lower e)
A... D, A... (walk down: a-g#-f#-)
E MajorE              D MajorD   A augmentedA        D MajorD  F#m(c# bass)
Someone called my name, you ...
    B minorBm    Bm7Bm7  E MajorE    A augmentedA    D MajorD         E MajorE
It was midnight in the Mission....
   D MajorD  ..E.. B minorBm    C# minorC#m     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Come again,   walking along ...
G+G   D MajorD  F#m(c# bass) B minorBm   C# minorC#m     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Come again,       walking ....
(walk down: a-g#-f#-)


All the things I planned to ...

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!
