Artist: The Grateful Dead Song: Jack Straw Album: Europe '72 Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) NOTE: This is Bob Weir's part only, and it is an approximation of what he plays as opposed to being note for note.

This continues until the "there ain't a winner in the game" line, which he returns the first two chords to the beat.

Bob's timing of the first two chords of the measures during the second guitar solo seems to alternate between being off the beat and on. After the final E chord at the end of this tab, repeat the "we can share the women, we can share the wine" line once and end the song on the A chord.
