[Verse 2 lyrics, same chords as Verse 1:]

Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat;

and all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.

I won't leave you driftin' down but whoa it makes me wild,

with thirty years upon my head, to have you call me child.

[:Chorus same chords and lyrics:]

Verse 3 lyrics, same chords as Verse 1:

The bottles stand as empty as they were filled before;

time there was and plenty but from that cup no more.

Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few;

don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

[:Chorus to jam or fade:]

Thanks to the Dead, in and out of garden Jerry goes...
