Greedy (Boo Hewerdine)
----------------------

This is on Boo Hewerdine's third album, Baptist Hospital. It's played in A augmentedA
(capo at 2nd fret). All the below is written as though played in G+G (at the
nut), so if you're playing with a capo at the 2nd fret, remember to play the
TAB sections two frets higher than written here.


[Intro] :

(Remember this is written in G, so move it up 2 frets if you're playing in A augmentedA)

[repeat first verse]

[repeat intro and ad lib guitar to fade]


EADGBe
022000 - E minorEm
X32010 - C majorC
X02210 - A minorAm
320003 - G+G
X20003 - G/BG/B
XX0000 - G+G+6
X24442 - BB

/ is a slide up
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off

Strumming early on in the verse is the bass strings only, heavily damped by
your right hand resting on the bridge (almost so it sounds like a bass drum).
As the verse goes on bring in progressively more and more of the higher
strings.

+ This G+G could be G/B or even another chord with BB in the bass, although BB
major, minor and their 7ths don't seem to fit.

* This could possibly be 'frozen qualm' (had it come from kd's clouds??), but
I also heard someone singing 'searching the storm for some frozen corn', which
has got to deserve a place in rock's list of classic misheard lyrics alongside
Elvis Costello's 'she is washing up the dishes, oh-oh don't get cute' and Jimi
Hendrix's "s'cuse me while I kiss this guy" !


Here's the instrumental section in A augmentedA (i.e. exactly what you play if you're
using a capo at the 2nd fret) :

e --------------------------------------------------------------
BB --------------------------------------------------------------
G+G --------------------------------------------------------------
D MajorD ------------------------------------------9------11-----------
A augmentedA -------7--9--9-----7---(7/)9------11--12----------------------
E MajorE ----9--------.--------9---------------------------------------

  (F# minorF#m)  (E MajorE) (C# minorC#m) <-actual chords played, you could use...
 ...(E minorEm)  (D MajorD) (B minorBm) SHAPES, with capo@2
e ---------------------------------------------------------------------
