Dave Matthews Band Grey Street Guitar Tab

"Grey Street"

>From the unreleased Dave Matthews Band album Lillywhite Sessions

Transcribed by Matthew Grizzard (mattgrizz@telpage.net)

This is a pretty easy but powerful song. Dave is playing a 12 string

on this one, so it might sound different from the mp3 track. He also

has his guitar tuned sharp by a hair. His is tuned halfway between an

E and an F, but oh well. Here's the tab hope you like it. Feed back

is welcome.

Verse 1: Play the Main Riff here:

Look at how she listens

She says nothing of what she thinks

Just listens to abuses

And by the kitchen sink...

She thinks, "Hey!

Why do I live to this?

I'm latest on life

How did it end like this?"

Chorus 1:

Bm A/C#

Oh, then the wrongs in her heart fall

D/F# G

And she feels the weight in lies

Bm A/C#

And the colors mix together to

Post Chorus: Play Main Riff here:

Grey

Grey Street

Verse 2: Play Main Riff here:

Begging now the difference

She prays to God most everynight

Although she swears He doesn't listen

There's hope in her that He just might

She said, "I Pray!" "I Pray!" "I Pray!"

"But they fall on deaf ears

I'm supposed to take it all on myself

To get out of this place

Chorus 2:

Bm A/C#

But soon the wrongs in her heart fall

D/F# G

And then she rode the light in

Bm A/C#

Oh, the pain now seems it's over

D/F# G

And again she sees the pain

Bm A/C#

And then the colors mix together to

Post Chorus: Play Main Riff Here:

Grey

On Grey Street

Verse 3: Play Main Riff Here:

It's all colored in again

Take what you can from your dreams

Make it real as anything

Takes the work out of the courage

She said, "Please!" "Please!" "Please!"

"There's someone sleeping outside my door

I live on the corner of Grey Street

And the end of the world."

Chorus 3:

Bm A/C#

And the wrong in her whole plan

D/F# G

I as hopeless as the day she came

Bm A/C#

And the man she calls her father

D/F# G

Ignores her and ignores her pain

Bm A/C#

Oh, when I walk out in the morning

D/F# G

In all this sunlight

Bm A/C#

And all the colors mix together to

Post Chorus: Play Main Riff Here:

Grey

On Grey Street

On Grey Street

It's Grey Street, you go

Final Chorus:

Bm A/C#

So, if you don't see your Heaven

D/F# G

Don't convince yourself you're done

Bm A/C#

Just 'cause the things around you seem heavy

D/F# G

Doesn't mean you can give up this ground

Bm A/C#

When you hold me down in the heart now

D/F# G

Move out and, oh, the wait is over

Bm A/C#

Oh, might notice of your worry

D/F# G

One another HEY hey laa.

Bm A/C#

And the colors mix together to

Ending: Play Main Riff Until End

On Grey Street

On Grey Street

To grey...

Yeah, yeah...
