This is a great song that includes a number of references to Greatful Dead songs. I have all of the verses but the chorus still needs some work. Let me know what ya'll think. capo - 5 chords: G, A, C, D for the verses G A Well I was a hippie in '68 C D Things were bad & things were great G A Had a 8 track tape of Jimi Hendrix C D & I played it everyday Those were the days of Purple Haze chocolate mesc, the Woodstock craze And all our parents said was "hell, it's just a phase" Lately I've been travelin 'round I been playin' in all these college towns Where the more things change The more they always seem to stay the same They got halter tops, bell bottom jeans & Rolling Stone magazines I close my eyes & swear It's the Summer of '73 Well, I guess I re-discovered my past Some good things are meant to last And it's all about the music & it always sets you free Chorus: I've been to Tennessee with Jed, Lawd, Lawd "Havin' a good time", dancin' in my head "Shake, shake, shake" Ohhh, Sugaree I tip my hat to Jerry & JB I used to walk down Shakedown Street When I was a kid, so I could meet All the colorful people That made the show the place to be I love the Allman Brothers Band Liz Reed & Ramblin' Man And I guess I'll be ramblin' As long as I'm around Now it's Panic in the parking lot Has shown me things that I've forgot It's all about the music And it always sets you free (chorus)*2 Travelin' light, ohhhh Sugaree Tip my hat to Jerry & JB Yes I do ....My Grass is Blue....
