The Grateful Dead
He’s Gone (Live at Rheinhalle, Düsseldorf, West Germany, April 24, 1972)
[Intro]
I say, my dog has no nose. (No nose? How does he smell?) Blooming awful. We just thought we'd try that to see how many of you understood it. (Said raise your hand)

[Verse 1]
Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

[Verse 2]
Nine-mile skid on a ten-mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smilе, smile

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now hе's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone, gone, woo
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

[Outro]
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

[Instrumental]
