Gov't Mule - Patchwork Quilt
Warren Haynes' song to Jerry Garcia
A studio version can be found on Phil Lesh's 'There and Back Again' album
C#
I never knew you
D A Bm
But then who really did?
F# E
If you were at all like me
F# B
You managed to keep yourself hid
Bm E
A patchwork quilt of a life
D C# C
Memories embroidered
D A
On your soul
C#
So please forgive me
D A Bm
For putting you in my song
F# E
But the spirit she moves me
F# B
In fact she pushes me along
Bm E
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
D C# C
Can't stop the river
D A
Just let it roll
F#
We were at Jones Beach
Em A
When we got the word
F# Em A
Saddest sound that I ever heard
F# B
The bluest note that nobody could play
F# E A
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
F# E A
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
F# D C# C
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
D A
And in the way
C#
So walk beside me
D A Bm
Or above me, I don't know
F# E
These days it sure seems
F# B
I'm lost where ever I go
F# E A
God, how could you, I heard someone say
F# E A
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
F# B
Now that our North Star can no longer be found
F# E A
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
F# E A
Hippies dance and babies cry
F# D A B
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel looks down
D E F#
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
B B
Bright lights, Dark Star
C#
I never knew you
D A Bm
But then who really did
F# E
If you were at all like me
F# B
You managed to keep yourself hid
