Scarlet Begonias - Grateful Dead (Hunter, Garcia)


[Intro]B        E  B       A B  x4

[Verse 1]As EI was walkin' down AGrosvenor BSquare,
Not aE chill to the winter but a Anip to the Bair,
AFrom the other diErecBtion Ashe was calling my Eeye,
ACould be an ilEluBsion Abut I might as well Etry, might as well Btry.

[Verse 2]She had Erings on her fingers and Abells on her Bshoes,
And EI knew without askin' she was Ainto the Bblues.
AShe wore scarlet beEgoBniasA tucked into her curls,  E 
AI knew right awaEy Bshe was Anot like other Egirls, other Bgirls.

[Verse 3]In the Eheat of the evening when the Adealin' got Brough,
She wasE too pat to open and too Acool to Bbluff.
AAs I picked up my EmatBchesA and was closin' the Edoor,
AI had one of those EflaBshesA, I'd been there beEfore, been there beforeB.

[Bridge]Well, IF# ain't often right but I've never been wrong,
BSeldom turns out the way it Adoes in the Esong.
F#Once in a while you get shown the light
In the Bstrangest of places if you Alook at it Eright.  F#      A     B 

[Verse 4]Well, there Eain't nothin' wrong with the Away she Bmoves,
Her Escarlet begonias or a Atouch of the Bblues.
AAnd there's nothing Ewrong Bwith the Alook that's in her eyes E 
AI had to learn the Ehard BwayA to let her pass Eby, let her pass Bby.

[Verse 5]The Ewind in the willow's playing "ATea for BTwo,"
TheE sky was yellow and the Asun was Bblue,
AStrangers stopping EstranBgersA just to shake their hand, E 
AEverybody's EplaBying Ain the heart of gold Eband, heart of gold Bband.

[Outro]B     A     B     E B A B  x4
