This is how I learned "Franklin's Tower" by the Dead. I don't know if the chords are right because a friend of mine showed me how to play it. In any case, here it is:
Artist:Greatful Dead Song: "Franklin's Tower" Album :Blues For Allah Written By:Robert Hunter (Words); Jerry Garcia and Bill Kreutzmann (Music)
A: 002220 G:320033 D: 000323
In another time's forgotten space, your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wild flower seed on the sand and stone, may the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew.
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell, in Franklin's Tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day, it can ring like fire when you lose your way
Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew.
God save the child who rings the bell, it may have one good ring; baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day, if you get confused, listen to the music play
Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew.
Some come to laugh thier past away, some come to make it one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends, if you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind
Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew.
In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep, like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wild flower seed in the sand and wind, may the four winds blow you home again
Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew.
This song could be dead solid perfect or totally wrong, I don't know. However, this is how I learned it and this is how I play it. If it is totally wrong, at least the words are here. That is all!
