"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:
BmOh, then the wrongs in her heart A/C#fall
And she D/F#feels the weight in Glies
And the BmcolorsA/C# 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:
BmBut soon the wrongs in her heart A/C#fall
And then she D/F#rode the light Gin
Oh, the Bmpain now seems it's A/C#over
And D/F#again she sees the Gpain
And then the Bmcolors mix A/C#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:
And the Bmwrong in her A/C#whole plan
I as D/F#hopeless as the day she Gcame
And the Bmman she calls her A/C#father
D/F#Ignores her and ignores her Gpain
Oh, when I Bmwalk out in the A/C#morning
In D/F#all this Gsunlight
And all the Bmcolors mix A/C#together to
Post Chorus: Play Main Riff Here:
Grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
It's Grey Street, you go
Final Chorus:
So, if Bmyou don't see your A/C#Heaven
Don't D/F#convince yourself you're Gdone
Just 'cause the Bmthings around you seem A/C#heavy
Doesn't D/F#mean you can give up this Gground
When you Bmhold me down in the A/C#heart now
Move out and, D/F#oh, the wait is Gover
Oh, might Bmnotice of your A/C#worry
One D/F#another HEY Ghey laa.
And the Bmcolors mix A/C#together to
Ending: Play Main Riff Until End

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