From the album 'Unknown album'
this is scarlet begonias by the dead, the way i've always played it
i didn't see it in your archive
grateful dead
scarlet begonias
this is the way i've always played it
the first line comes straight from a show they played at cornell
in 1977, phil’s bass booms throughout the whole song
drums and guitar come in first
I.
B 2x
- / 16 x 16 x 16
-
- 2 2 2 / 14 x 14 x 14 6 7 / 9 x 9 x 9
-
now this isn’t the way phil plays it in this particular concert but
this is how i play it and if you don’t like it just change it up
it’s just e to b
II.
E B 2x
-
- 6 x 7 x 9 9 6 7p6 0
- 7 7 6 x 9 x

- 5 55 0 0 4 0 7 5 5 5 5 00 0 4 0 7 5 5 5 00 4 0 7 5 55 00 4 00
repeat intro part in b then go back into e to b part and into a part,
it does this a couple of times and then instead of going into the e
to b part they play:
______
III.
F# B / 1. E
- 11 11 11 x 9 11 |
- |
- 9 9 | / 7
- 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 |
_________
/ 2.E F# A B

- 2 4 7 9 11b1/2b11 9
- 2 4 4 6 7 9 9 11
- 0 2/4 2 4/6 5 7/9 7 9/11
the order goes like this
I
II
I
II
I
III
II
I
II etc...
thats all i know, usually they will go from this into fire on the
mountain, which is a b to a progression, but its really easy to
figure out, so try this. later, jr
