Good Grief

Hello, everyone. I have enjoyed many of the transcriptions out there. They

are very helpful. I used previous versions of this posting to form my own

interpretation. So here it goes.

I hear this song a little flat. I basically play Jeff's (ArglBargle@aol.com)

transcription, but one step low, making A's, B's, and E's flat and making F's

natural (I took a guitar class. Doesn't it show?)

I use a "Dropped-D" tuning rather than retuning to E flat. The intro goes

something like this:

Verse 1:

Since I'm putting down all of the true things around but I like it

Handed down the crown, given the jewels and the answers of May

The thought of being ousted comes and goes comes and goes

Intro played

Verse 2:

Run me out of town, somewhere a move might intended a gown at

Pissed at all the bowels, always the blues and a delicate smile

Miss at all the sideways, gull and noun, gull and noun

Chills and petty band-aids, wrapped around Hate it...

Good Grief

Repeat Verse 1

And that's about it. It's a little different. I think it sounds cool this

way, and it's easy enough for me to play while singing. You can try without

the "Dropped-D" but the bridge is a lot harder. Have fun. Send comments to
