Not Fade Away Going Down The Road Feeling Bad
Grateful Dead
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. A = x-0-7-6-5-5 E = 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] (Not Fade Away) [Verse 1] I wanna tell you how it’s gonna be You’re gonna give your love to me I wanna love you night and day You know my love not fade away You know my love not fade away Not fade away [Instrumental 1] [Verse 2] My love is bigger than a Cadillac I try to show you but you drive me back Your love for me has got to be real For you to know just how I feel A love is real not fade away Not fade away [Instrumental 2] (Transition: Strumming/picking pattern changes slowly) (Going Down the Road Feeling Bad) [Intro 2] [Chorus 1] Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad ya ya ya Don’t Wanna be treated this a way [Verse 3] Goin’ where the climate suits my clothes I’m goin’ where the climate suits my clothes Goin’ where the climate suits my clo----thes Don’t wanna be treated this a way [Chorus 2] Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Well I’m goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad bad ya Don’t wanna be treated this a way [Instrumental 3] [Verse 4] Goin’ where the water tastes like wine Well I goin’ where the water tastes like wine Goin’ where the water tastes like wi----ne I don’t Wanna be treated this a way [Chorus 3] Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad ya ya ya Don’t Wanna be treated this a way [Chorus 4] Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad bad ya Don’t Wanna be treated this a way [Chorus 5] Well I goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad Ya Goin’ down the road feelin’ bad ya ya ya Don’t Wanna be treated this a way [Instrumental 4] (slow into fade)
