Grateful Dead – Scarlet Begonias

Posted on September 30, 2008 by andy dingfelder

drums and guitar come in first

I.
    B                            2x
–                                             /  16 x 16 x 16
–
–  2  2  2 / 14 x 14 x 14  6 7 / 9 x 9 x 9
–

now this isn’t the way phil plays it in this particular concert but
this is how i play it and if you don’t like it just change it up
it’s just e to b

II.

     E                                 B                      2x
–
–           6 x 7 x 9 9                            6 7p6  0
–   7 7                                   6 x 9 x
–                                       7

   A

–
– 5 55 0 0 4 0 7  5 5 5 5 00 0 4 0 7  5  5 5 00 4 0 7  5 55 00 4 00

repeat intro part in b then go back into e to b part and into a part,
it does this a couple of times and then instead of going into the e
to b part they play:
                          ______
III.
    F#                     B                  / 1.     E
–       11  11 11 x 9 11                     |
–                                            |
–  9 9                                       |        / 7
–                          7 7 7  7  5 5 5  |
_________
/ 2.E        F#        A        B
–
–           2             4           7              9 11b1/2b11 9
–       2 4           4 6         7 9          9  11
–  0 2/4        2  4/6      5  7/9      7  9/11

the order goes like this

I
II
I
II
I
III
II
I
II  etc…

thats all i know, usually they will go from this into fire on the
mountain, which is a b to a progression, but its really easy to
figure out,  so try this.
