He started it pretty much unaccompanied-just his voice in that old Greek Theater space, and people actually shushed each other to get everyone to stop talking and listen.
Furthur played the Greek Theater in Berkeley-an old haunt of mine, and they kind of blew me away with their rendition of “Mission in the Rain.” Even the occasional lyrical … discrepancy … could not diminish the song’s power. I am going to postpone the song I had planned to write about this week (hang in there, Bolo24…), because of the performance I experienced last Saturday night. (I’ll consider requests for particular songs-just private message me!)

Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time-and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there’s always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems.
end file- Hope this is all laid out right.Here’s the plan-each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact-a truly subjective thing. (chorus repeat, keep repeating: Bm, C#m, D, A, G, D, F#m.) End: Bm, C#m, D, A. (chorus repeat) All the things I planned to do I only did halfway, Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain, No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same Come again. Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true, But anything you gather is just more that you can lose, Come again. Tonight I would be thankful Lord for any dream at all. (walk down: a-g#-f#-) Ten years ago I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall. Bm C#m D A Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain G D F#m(c# bass) Bm C#m D A Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain. (walk down: a-g#-f#-) E D A D F#m(c# bass) Someone called my name, you know I turned around to see Bm Bm7 E A D E It was midnight in the Mission, and the bells were not for me. F#m C#7 Em G I must turn down your offer, but I'd like to ask a break D A C#7 F#m - F# You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take Bm - C#7 - D. D A C#7 F#m It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same. Bm - C#7 - F#m F#m C#7 Em G I turn and walk away, then I come around again. Also, the third beat of the D chord over 'missio-o-o-on' in the chorus is staccatto. One note for the enthusiast - any time an F#m is played before a Bm, Jerry plays it on the 2nd fret and hammers in a D note on the B string (3rd fret) on the first upswing between the chord's two downbeats. begin file- Mission in the Rain by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter Copyright 1973, Ice Nine Publishing Single note riffs are mostly excluded, since I haven't found anything especially consistent.
The old file is in the "Grateful.Dead" directory under the name "Mission.crd." The song is technically by the Jerry Garcia Band, but I think it's just as well to keep it as it is, all in one directory. Now a few years' wiser, I'm resubmitting what are almost certainly the correct chords for my favorite song. #-# Received: from ( ) by (8.6.4/8.6.4) with SMTP id SAA12086 for Sun, 18:34:18 -0800 Received: from local by (/\=/\ Smail3.1.25.1 #25.21) id Sun, 30 Jan 94 18:34 PST Message-Id: Date: Sun, 30 Jan 94 18:34 PST From: (Paul Anderson) To: Subject: Guitar Tab - Jerry.Garcia (Grateful.Dead), Mission in the Rain Hi James, I was looking through your Grateful Dead guitar database and was taken aback to find one of my own postings from years back - moreso to realize it was inaccurate.
