Gov't Mule - Patchwork Quilt 
  Warren Haynes' song to Jerry Garcia
  A studio version can be found on Phil Lesh's 'There and Back Again' album

          C#
I never knew you

      D       A      Bm
But then who really did?

                F#       E
If you were at all like me

      F#                      B
You managed to keep yourself hid

   Bm                   E
A patchwork quilt of a life

D            C#     C
Memories embroidered

D          A
On your soul

              C#
So please forgive me
     D           A     Bm
For putting you in my song
                    F#     E
But the spirit she moves me
             F#         B
In fact she pushes me along
         Bm                  E
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
D               C#   C
Can't stop the river
D              A
Just let it roll


         F# 
We were at Jones Beach

       Em        A
When we got the word

F#                 Em      A
Saddest sound that I ever heard

F#                                 B
The bluest note that nobody could play

 F#                        E          A
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage

 F#                 E      A
Tears of sadness, tears of rage

    F#                D   C#   C
But nobody spoke, we all felt old

     D      A
And in the way

           C#
So walk beside me
     D       A        Bm
Or above me, I don't know
               F#       E
These days it sure seems
     F#                B
I'm lost where ever I go


 F#                     E            A
God, how could you, I heard someone say
F#                          E        A
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
F#                                        B
Now that our North Star can no longer be found
               F#              E        A
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
F#                 E      A
Hippies dance and babies cry
F#                      D             A           B      
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel looks down
          D                 E                          F#
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
         B         B
Bright lights, Dark Star

         C#
I never knew you
      D        A    Bm
But then who really did
               F#       E
If you were at all like me
     F#                      B 
You managed to keep yourself hid
