note: any piano music, not to mention tori music specifically, does not

translate into guitar music very well. in fact, trying to do this with

any of tori's stuff is akin to some sort of blasphemy. take this for what

it is worth. all the chords are sketchy at best due to tori's often unique

chord choices... these chords are not on absolute pitch, but the relative

pitch should be fairly good.

try picking the chords, it sounds much better than simple chords.

capo first fret

 

 

tears on the sleeve of a man

don't want to be a boy today

heard the eternal footman

bought himself a bike to race

and greg he writes letters and burns his cd's

they say you were something in those formative years

hold onto nothing as fast as you can

well, still... pretty good year -- ah... pretty good

 

maybe a bright sandy beach

is gonna bring you back

maybe not so now you're off

you're gonna see america

well let me tell you something about (stutter) america

pretty good year ah... pretty good

 

some things are melting now

some things are melting now... well

hey...

well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright

well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright

 

 

and Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen

sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in

Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed

well, still... pretty good year -- ah... pretty good

ah... pretty good year
