Jack Straw - Grateful Dead (Hunter Weir) [Verse 1] We can share the women we can share the wine We can share what we’ve got of yours ’cause we done shared all of mine. Keep on rollin’ just a mile to go 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 Cut down a man in cold blood Shannon might as well been me. [Verse 4] We used to play for silver now we play for life; And one’s for sport and one’s for blood at the point of a knife. And now the die is shaken now the die must fall; There ain’t no winner in the game he don’t go home with all Not with all. [Verse 5] Leavin’ Texas fourth day of July Sun so hot the clouds so low the eagles filled the sky. Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe 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; Ain’t no bed can give us rest now you keep us on the run. [Verse 7] Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down. Half a mile from Tucson by the morning light One man gone and another to go my old buddy you’re moving much too slow. [Verse 8] We can share the women we can share the wine.
