Lyrics: Lennon, McCartney
Music: Lennon, McCartney
This was played twice by the Grateful Dead as a jam without lyrics.
Once, fleetingly, on 13 March 1982 between The Other One and Black Peter, and
once more substantively on 30 December 1991 between Saint Of Circumstance and
Drums. (Thanks to Andy McGaan for help with this.)
Jerry Garcia played it with Merle Saunders in 1979 in the band Reconstruction,
and subsequently with the Jerry Garcia Band.
Bob Weir introduced it with Ratdog in 2000.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to playNotes
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sky is blue, the birds will sing (note 1)
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, open up your eyes
Dear Prudence, greet the sunny skies (note 2)
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you (note 3)
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes
Chorus
Look around, round, round
Look around, round, round
Look around, round, round
Look around, round, round
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile
[chorus]
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile
[chorus]
