Subject: RE: Chord Req: White Rabbit
I dug my old tapes out tonight and listened to this several times to try to get some of the elusive words. Some of the words on the internet sites are just wrong.

As to the above

"Call" is right, the internet site that has "cord"

"slow" is defintely "low" on the recording - even with max treble boost there is no hint of a sibilant, and many of the other "s" sounds are quite strident on the recording.

"Heed your head" is plainly "feed your head".

The hard one is the other one. I don't think it's "sloppy".
THe "en" in fallen could be "in" with a different word in front.

"faults in side your head" makes sense, but where I have "your" the recording defnitely has an "ee" sound.

It could be "fallen to be dead", but I am not sure. I'm stuck with tape as my vinyl seems to have been lifted by someone - I suspect my stepson, but he denies it of course. Nice to see some hippy values persisting.

Has anyone got a wonderful digitally remastered recording, or can someone who has both compare the Jefferson Airplane version with the Great Society version? Is there a Starship re-recording? Are there other covers?

Enquiring minds want to get this absolutely right!
