Originally performed by Steve Winwood with his band Traffic on the album 'Mr. Fantasy.' The Dead included this song in their live repertoire, often performing it with their friend, none other than Winwood himself.

*Correction: The sixth verse should read: "Please don't be sad, if it was a straight life you had..."

Also performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Gov't Mule, and Widespread Panic.
