I’ll Take a Melody (Live at French’s Camp, Piercy, CA, June 10, 1989) Jerry Garcia Band

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was gray with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "Hey you!"
As you ramble through your trouble
Seem like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow
I know something's helping me along

[Chorus]
I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple C to G
And feel brand new about it

[Bridge]
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail along, sail along, sail along
(Ooh, sail along, sail along)
Someday he'll be gone

[Verse 2]
I hear you talking about your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do
You know, I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never will come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do
