'The Race Is On' by Grateful Dead - Guitar Tutorial

                    E
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside, 
      A                    E
Like my heart's got a big break 
                                    C#m           F#7          B7
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. 
 E                                       E7        A        E
You might think that I'm taking it hard since you wrote me off 
with a call, 
                                                      B7 E
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might lay 
right down and bawl. 
 
                 E
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, 
 A            E                                       F#7 B7
Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, 
tryin' not to fall. 
 E                                        A                  E
My heart's out of the running, true love scratched for another's 
sake, 
             E                                        B7   E
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner 
loses all. 
 
           E
One day I ventured in love never once suspecting 
          A                  E
What the final result would be. 
                                      C#m
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning, 
     F#7                            B7
And finding that you're gone from me. 
          E                               E7          A   E
There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one 
that I hated to face, 
                                              B7            E
Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place. 
 
                 E
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, 
 A            E                                      F#7   B7
Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, 
tryin' not to fall. 
 E                                        A                 E
My heart's out of the running, true love scratched for another's 
sake, 
        E                                        B7        E
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner 
loses all.
