• Nobody's Fault But Mine

    An instrumental played by Howard Wales with Jerry Garcia

    Nobody's fault but mine
    Nobody's fault but mine
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Had good love in my home
    Had a good love in my home
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Loves my sugar in my tea
    Loves my sugar in my tea
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Nobody's fault but mine
    Nobody's fault but mine
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Love will cry when I leave
    Love will cry when I leave
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Nobody's fault but mine
    Nobody's fault but mine
    If I leave my love behind
    Nobody's fault but mine

    Played intermittently by Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead throughout their career, sometimes with lyrics, sometimes without. The earliest versions are played much faster, and with different lyrics to the later versions. The recording on "Birth of the Dead" is credited as "traditional, arranged Grateful Dead."

An instrumental played by Howard Wales with Jerry Garcia

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Had good love in my home
Had a good love in my home
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Loves my sugar in my tea
Loves my sugar in my tea
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Love will cry when I leave
Love will cry when I leave
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I leave my love behind
Nobody's fault but mine
