The person who posted this left out the bridge. I am including the bridge
below as well as a transposition to an easier key.
Brown-Eyed Woman
(Hunter, Garcia)
Dm F
Gone are the days when the ox fall down,
C Bb
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around.
Dm F
Gone are the days when the ladies said, "Please,
Bb F
Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come home to me?"
C
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
Bb F C
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Bb F Dm
Sound of the thunder with the rain fallin' down,
Gm Bb F
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.
1920 when he stepped to the bar,
Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.
1930 when the walls caved in,
He made his way sellin' red-eyed gin.
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,
Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.
BRIDGE:
Cm Bb F
Tumble down shack in Bigfoot county,
Cm Bb F
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.
Dm C Bb Am
Delilah Jones went to meet her God,
Bb F
And the old man never was the same again.
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well,
Cost two dollars and it burnt like hell.
I cut hick'ry just to fire the still,
Drink down a bottle and ready to kill.
And in the key of D:
Brown-Eyed Woman

G D Bm
Sound of the thunder with the rain fallin' down,
Em G D
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.
1920 when he stepped to the bar,
Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.
1930 when the walls caved in,
He made his way sellin' red-eyed gin.
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,
Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.
BRIDGE:
Am G D
Tumble down shack in Bigfoot county,
Am G D
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.
Bm A G Am
Delilah Jones went to meet her God,

And the old man never was the same again.
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well,
Cost two dollars and it burnt like hell.

Drink down a bottle and ready to kill.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GRATEFUL DEAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
