Tuning: E A D G B E
Band: Grateful Dead Album: Grateful Dead (aka Skull and Roses) (1971) Recorded live April 5, 1971, Hammerstein Ballroom, Manhattan Center, New York City Writers: Not Fade Away: Buddy Holly, Norman Petty Going Down the Road Feeling Bad: Traditional Arranged by Grateful Dead Note: This covers the rhythm guitar portion of this song. The chord voicings used by Bob Weir in the song are included below, however, I find it sounds better using the standard voicings if playing unaccompanied. When the Dead play, the keyboards and Bass take up the lower end so Weir will generally play higher voicings using bar chords to fill out the mix. E = x-0-7-6-5-5 A = 0-7-6-4-5-4 D = x-x-0-7-7-5 C#m = x-4-6-6-5-4 B = x-x-9-8-7-7 [Intro 1] E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E E A E E A E E A E E A E (Not Fade Away) [Verse 1]
