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
Grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
To grey...
Yeah, yeah...
