<< Back to Grateful Dead Song List
Version 1
            [Intro]

E                 D
Saint Stephen with a rose,
A                 E
In and out of the garden he goes,
E                 D
Country garden in the wind and the rain,
    A
Wherever he goes the people all complain.

E                 D
Did Stephen prospered in his time?
A                 E
Well he may and he may decline.
E                 D
Did it matter, does it now?
 A                                              B
Stephen would answer if he only knew how.

[B Lick]

E                 D
Wishing well with a golden bell,
A                 E
Bucket hanging clear to hell,
E                 D
Hell halfway twixt now and then,
 A
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.

[Bridge]

E          D A             E
Lady finger, dipped in moonlight,
D                  A           E            D
Writing "What for?" across the morning sky.
E                 D A            E
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer,
D                   A                E   D
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye.
E             D A             E
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
D             A                E                D
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned.
E              D A              E
Several seasons  with their treasons,
D                A               E            D
Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own.

E                 D
Did he doubt or did he try?
A                 E
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,
E                 D
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,
A
One man gathers what another man spills.

E                 D
Saint Stephen will remain,
A                 E
All he's lost he shall regain,
E                 D
Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
 A                                              B
Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.

E
Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman,
D                     A             E
Spinnin' that curious sense of your own.
E                     D
Can you answer? Yes I can.
    A                               E  D    E
But what would be the answer to the answer man?
