Forget Her - Jeff Buckley (Unreleased)

Tabbed by William Smith - 2001

This is a provisional tab. Email waps100@york.ac.uk

for latest version. "Forget Her" is an unreleased

track, that I reckon ranks amongst Jeff's best

songs. It was originally going to appear on Grace,

but Jeff changed his mind right at the last minute

and dropped it, probably because he felt the

material was too personal (it was a about his only

really serious girl friend). However, during the

grace sessions he did record it and he played it

live a couple of times. It appears on some bootleg

CDs but it can easily be located on Napster in

192Kbps format. Please do not contact me regarding

the actual song as I won't distribute it. I would

love comments or corrections on the tab.

I believe this song uses DROP-D tuning, you can

play without, but it makes the chords harder.

The intro sequence:

E--------------|-------------- x 4

B--------------|--------------

G--------------|--------------

D------7-----7-|-----5-----3--

A----7-----7---|---5-----3----

D--7-----7-----|-2-----5------

Verse:

(NOTE: Lyrics do not lineup with guitar part

exactly, fit them how you think they should go)

E---------------|--------------- x 2

B--------0------|--------0------

G--------5------|--------5------

D------7---7----|------7---7----

A----7-------7--|----7-------7--

By this time he's finished sleeping

E---------------|--------------- x 2

B--------0------|--------0------

G--------0------|--------0------

D------5---5----|------5---5----

And all the noise has died away

-Repeat above pattern:

I walk the streets to stop my weeping

But she'll never change her ways
