Box Of Rain – Grateful Dead

chord and lyric sheet

A   Bm7/A   A   Asus4

D                 Am
Look out of any window
Em                    C                        G
Any morning, any evening, any day
D               Am
Maybe the sun is shining
Em                               G                              A
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
D                      G                        Am                Em                 D
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
         C               D                                    Am                    G
For this is all a dream we dreamed, one afternoon long ago

D           Am
Walk out of any doorway
Em             C                            G
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
D            Am
Maybe you’ll find direction
Em                                          G                    A
Around some corner where  It’s been waiting to meet you

D            G
What do you want me to do?
   Am                         Em     D
To watch for you while you’re sleeeeeeeeping?
     Am                  C                  G            D
Then please don’t be surprised when you find me dreaming too.

G Am Em C A D G Am Em G D Em A

D         Am                 Em               C                            G
Look into any eyes  You find by you, you can see clear to another day
D          Am                  Em
Maybe been seen before through other eyes
    G                     A
On other days while going home
D            G               Am              Em       D
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
     C               Em                D           G
It’s all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go

D              Am              Em
Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way through
C                      G
Dead dreams to another land
D             Am                    Em
Maybe you’re tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with
G                      A
Words half-spoken and thoughts unclear
D            G               Am              Em       D
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
  Am               C                  G                  D
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
G                   Am       Em
Just a box of rain, wind and water
 C               A               D
Be-lieve it if you need it, if you don’t, just pass it on.
G               Am       Em
Sun and shower, wind and rain
G               D             Em            A
In and out the window, like a moth before a flame
A        D             Em
And it’s just a box of rain
Em       G               D
I don’t know who put it there;
D                 Bm          G               A
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
A        D             Em            Em     G             D
And it’s just a box of rain  Or a ribbon for your hair
             Em                                              G                 D
Such a long, long time to be gone  And a short time to be there.
