Obviously enough "in" is the introduction, A is the main verse, B is the chorus, and part C is where Garcia normally takes a solo against that descending line A, G#, G, F# which corresponds to the chords A-, A-^7, A-7, D7 etc. I've not scored the transition to A and D where they sing "Across the rio grande-o" since it doesn't fit in the iReal edit window. I wish I knew how to make part C go on it's own line without inserting lots of spacees, let me know if you know how please.
Hope you enjoy, Rob

Hi Rob,
I edited a duplicate of your chart to offer some ideas. I didn't delete the empty measures so you could easily add the additional section(s).

Fire On The Mountain - Grateful Dead
I've put a drum intro for a couple of bars then the simple chord pattern (B to A) before the verse for a bit of improv. Although the verse is just B to A repeated 6 times I've written it out in full since I often print out to pdf then annotate that to insert lyrics, I have used a 4x repeat on the chorus though since they just sing Fire, fire on the mountain four times.
The Pop Funk with 2/2 actually gives a feel remarkably like the tune (did mickey hart have iReal? ;-)
Fun to jam along to.

Could I ask for clarification on your edit of my Mississippi Half-step chart you edited? Much better use of space and layout but where the Am repeats for four bars I had:
Am | % | % | % |
which seemed straightforward, but you had it as:
Am | % | but then with a double percentage spread over two bars, what's the advantage of that, in that it uses the same space of four bars and doesn't seem quite so easy to read, but is it a music convention perhaps, I'm not at all up on such things.

Either way works fine and is understood by the player. The chord name A- could also be written four times.
I used the double bar repeat as I only needed to make just the single entry (2 birds...)
As well as to show it in use.
The double bar repeat is most useful when you have a two-bar phrase that is repeated in the subsequent two bars.
Sure, you could put it in repeat brackets, but then the chart wouldn't be "square".
It's just another tool in your kit.

Here's a version of Tennessee Jed, not too bad in terms of chords, but the rhythm isn't right, I'm using Jazz - slow swing at 115bpm

Russian Lullaby, Old Rockin' Chair
While I'm posting to the Jerry Garcia thread I might as well continue with a couple more. The first is Russian Lullaby, which works quite well:
Russian Lullaby - Irving Berlin
Then there's Rocking Chair, which I love, especially the live takes with David Grisman, the move to F# is just wonderful:
Rockin' Chair (Garcia) - Hoagy Carmichael (1930)
Such a perfect song.

Touch of Grey (needs bridge)
Touch Of Grey - Hunter/Garcia
That's what I've got so far, doesn't include the bridge thing though

I changed a few of the chords and the rhythm... lines up nicely with the Garcia Grisman version google jdarks tabs has a transcription to go with this
Russian Lullaby 1 - Irving Berlin
I changed a few of the chords and the rhythm... this fits the Garcia Grisman jdarks tabs
Russian Lullaby 1 - Irving Berlin
So I changed this a bit more the measures are correct now so it doesn’t need a double time beat
