Chords with lyrics

Music by Phil Lesh, lyrics by Warren Haynes - 2007
Released on Ashes & Dust - 2015

When performed live, this song can clock in at 10 minutes. You can play the "campfire" version by ignoring
all the optional solo sections. As always, listen to the song to get the feel for the quick chord changes.

Warren plays this almost entirely with open chords on his Les Paul.

  Spots of time flash before my eyes
A minorAm   G+G     FF
  Like ribbons of light
C majorC     G+G      A minorAm     E minorEm
  Helplessly I try to touch them
      D MajorD        | E minorEm | E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm . |
Before they disappear into the night

E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
  Running fearlessly as in a dream
A minorAm   G+G       FF
  Headlong into the wind
DmDm      A minorAm  C majorC          G+G
  Cool night air, blowing through our hair

Moonlight dancing on your skin

Imagining like I always do

When we were once wild and free

A minorAm   G+G      FF
  Innocence once removed
C majorC    G+G      A minorAm     E minorEm
Familiar feeling of a front porch swing
   D MajorD     | E minorEm | E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm . |
And a song, always soothes

E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC
Spots of time like windows appear
A minorAm   G+G      FF
You can look out or in
DmDm      A minorAm     C majorC    G+G
But you can't get to the future I regret
  E MajorE            | A minorAm C majorC D MajorD . |
By going through the past, my friend

CHORUS:

Do you remember,
              G+G    D MajorD C majorC
How young we were or is it just me?
         G+G     D MajorD C majorC
Imagining like I always do
         A minorAm  E minorEm D MajorD  G+G B7B7
That we were once wild and free

BRIDGE:
E minorEm         A augmentedA

C majorC            G+G     D MajorD
 A augmentedA lover's eyes softly glistening
E minorEm         B minorBm
 Memories that to me are everything

But to someone else maybe only ashes and dust

When we were once wild and free
