Submitted by Ian C.T. vom Saal I've transcribed this version of Grey Street from the "Busted Stuff" CD version, NOT "The Lillywhite Sessions". Remember, as with many Dave Matthews'songs it's usually easiest to seperate your head from what you are singing & what you are playing ~ enjoy. Let me know if you'd like a complete version with the entire lyrics. Always . . .
