Version 1 Version 2Jack Straw - Grateful Dead (Hunter, Weir) [Verse 1] E F#m C#m A We can share the women, we can share the wine E Bm D A E G#m D A We can share what we've got of yours 'cause we done shared all of mine. E F#m C#m A Keep on rollin', just a mile to go, E Bm D A E B A E E7 Keep on rollin', my old buddy, you're movin' much too slow. [Verse 2] E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence, E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain't that heaven sent? [Verse 3] F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 F#7 Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see, F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 D Bm A E Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well been me. [Verse 4] D Bm A E We used to play for silver, now we play for life; D Bm A E And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife. D Bm A E And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall; D Bm A E A There ain't no winner in the game, he don't go home with all, D G D G F# F E Esus4 E Esus4 E Not with all. [Verse 5] E F#m C#m A Leavin' Texas, fourth day of July, E Bm D A E G#m D A Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky. E F#m C#m A Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe, E Bm D A E B A E E7 The Great Northern out of Cheyenne from sea to shining sea. [Verse 6] E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride, E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 Got to settle one old score, one small point of pride. F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 F#7 Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon, to keep him from the sun; F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 D Bm A E Ain't no bed can give us rest, now, you keep us on the run. [Verse 7] D Bm A E Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down, D Bm A E And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down. D Bm A E Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light, D Bm A E A D G D G F# F E Esus4 E Esus4 E One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too slow. [Verse 8] E F#m C#m A We can share the women, we can share the wine.
