Subject: Franklin’s Tower…From Bill
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:

In another time’s forgotten space, your eyes looked from your mother’s face
A G D G A
G D G
Wild flower seed on the sand and stone, may the four winds blow you safely
home
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the
dew.
A G D G A G

I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell, in Franklin’s Tower there hangs a
bell
A G D G A G D

It can ring, turn night to day, it can ring like fire when you lose your way
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

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
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the dew. Roll away the

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
A G D G A
G D G
Wild flower seed in the sand and wind, may the four winds blow you home again
A G D G A G D G A G D G A

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!
No Worries!
