I figured this one out about christmas time but i forgot to mail it.
The whole song is in the key of D which makes the cords to it D G A-
your typical I IV V cord change.
The lead is played with your basic D chord- and the melody can be heard
on any bootleg or any version of playin'. Anyway-

Playing in the Band  Grateful Dead

start with a D chord-

sl slide
h hold note
p pull off
h hammer on
s sustain

let the open D ring out				(sl)      (h) (p)      p)(h          (s)
