Subject: Franklin's Tower...From Bill
This is how I learned "Franklin's Tower" by the Dead. I don't know if the
chords are right because a friend of mine showed me how to play it. In any
case, here it is:
Artist:Greatful Dead

In another time's forgotten space, your eyes looked from your mother's face
A G D G A

Wild flower seed on the sand and stone, may the four winds blow you safely
home
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the
dew.
A G D G A G

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell, in Franklin's Tower there hangs a
bell
A G D G A G D

It can ring, turn night to day, it can ring like fire when you lose your way
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the
dew.

God save the child who rings the bell, it may have one good ring; baby, you
can't tell
A G D G A G

One watch by night, one watch by day, if you get confused, listen to the
music play
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Whichever way your pleasure tends, if you plant ice, you're gonna harvest

In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep, like four lean hounds the
lighthouse keep
A G D G A

Wild flower seed in the sand and wind, may the four winds blow you home again
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the
dew.
This song could be dead solid perfect or totally wrong, I don't know.
However, this is how I learned it and this is how I play it. If it is
totally wrong, at least the words are here. That is all!
No Worries!
