You think Ripple is tricky, try The Eleven!

I am trying to work out one of my favorite Hunter-Garcia trad-sounding songs, Mountains of the Moon and have this so far

Mountains Of The Moon
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia

(G)Cold mountain(F) water, the(Dm) jade merchant's (G)daughter
(G)Mountains of the(F) moon, Electra, (Dm)bow and bend to (G)me
(G)Hi-ho, the (F)carrion crow, (Dm)folderol-de-(G)riddle
(G)Hi-ho, the (F)carrion crow,(Dm) bow and bend to (G)me

Hey, Tom (G)Banjo
Hey, a (G)laurel
(Dm)More than laurel (G)you may sow
(Dm)More than laurel (G)you may sow
(G)Hey, the laurel,(G) hey, the (F)city (D)in the (G)rain
Hey, (D)hey, (F)hey the (C>wild wheat waving in the (Dm)wind

(G)Twenty degrees of (F)solitude,(Dm) twenty degrees in (G)all
(G)All the dancing(F) kings and wives (Dm)assembled in the (G)hall
(G)Lost is the long and(F) loneliest time,(Dm) fairy Sybil (G)flying
(G)All along the,(F) all along the (Dm)mountains of the (G)moon

Hey, Tom (G)Banjo
(C>It's time to(G) matter
(Dm)The earth will see you on(G) through this time
(Dm)The earth will see you on (G)through this time
(G)Down by the water, the (G)marsh king's (F)daughter, (D)did you (G)know?
Clothed in (D)tatters, (F)always will be, Tom where did you (Dm)go?

(G)Mountains of the (F)moon, Electra, (Dm)mountains of the (G)moon

(G)Heigh ho, the (F)carrion crow, (Dm)folderol-de-(G)riddle
(G)Heigh ho, the (F)carrion crow, (Dm)bow and bend to (G)me
Bend to (Dm)me

Anyone else know this one? It seems that there is no chord or tab chart of the net as of yet. I would appreciate any comments or corrections on this beautiful old chestnut.
