St. Stephen
By: Grateful Dead
(Intro)
(Main Theme)
[E]Saint Stephen [D]with a rose,
[A]In and out of the [E]garden he goes,
[E]Country garden in the [D]wind and the rain,
Wher[A]ever he goes the people all complain.
Did Stephen prospered in his time?
Well he may and he may decline.
Did it matter, does it now?
S[A]tephen would answer if he only knew how.[B]
(B Lick)
Wishing well with a golden bell,
Bucket hanging clear to hell,
Hell halfway twixt now and then,
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.
(Bridge)
[E]Lady finger[D], [A]dipped in moon[E]light,
[D]Writing "What for?"[A] across the [E]morning sky.[D]
[E]Sunlight splatters[D], [A]dawn with ans[E]wer,
[D]Darkness shrugs and [A]bids the day good[E]bye.[D]
[E]Speeding arrow[D], [A]sharp and narr[E]ow,
[D]What a lot of [A]fleeting matters [E]you have spurned.[D]
[E]Several seasons[D] [A]with their trea[E]sons,
[D]Wrap the babe in [A]scarlet colors, [E]call it your [D]own.
Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,
One man gathers what another man spills.
Saint Stephen will remain,
All he's lost he shall regain,
Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.
[E]Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman,
[D]Spinnin' that curious [A]sense of your [E]own.
[E]Can you answer? Yes I [D]can.
But [A]what would be the answer to the [E]answer [D]man?[E]
