#This file is a symbology interpreting an emotional instant in time that
this file's
creator has been fortunate enough to experience. It is the file creator's
own symbology
and is based upon the contemporaneous and recorded experience of the
emotional instants
in time entitled "Ship of Fools" by the creators of the experience and
represents my
reduction to symbols of the said emotional instants in time. You may use

Ship of Fools (Robert Hunter-Jerome Garcia(rest easy jerry))
-------------

[NOTE: CAN (AND FOR AUTHENTICITY SHOULD) BE PLAYED A augmentedA WHOLE STEP DOWN BY
SUITABLE TRANSPOSITION TO THE APPROPRIATE BAR CHORDS (C-->Bb, G-->F, etc.) --
BELOW IS THE MOST CONVENIENT OPEN CHORD RENDITION FOR ACOUSTIC GUITAR.]

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't know the name of the chord labeled "?" below; it is
played: low E, A augmentedA - not played
            D MajorD - 1st fret
            G+G - 2nd fret
	   BB - 1st fret
        high E MajorE - 2nd fret
(It's like a DM7 but with a D#D# replacing the fundamental on the D MajorD string; it
can also be played
by moving up the neck so that the D MajorD and BB string are played on the 4th, 7th,
or 10th fret,
keeping the same relative structure.)

C majorC           G+G  FF  ?            C majorC
Went to see the captain, ...

FF        (D MajorD)   C majorC            G+G    FF      C majorC
but I would slave to learn the way to ...


C majorC     G+G  FF        C majorC
Ship of fools ...,

C majorC     G+G FF            A minorAm

A minorAm                 ?
It was later than I thought when ...

     G+G             FF           C majorC    the boys

(same chord structure as above for the rest of the song)
