Greedy (Boo Hewerdine)
----------------------
This is on Boo Hewerdine's third album, Baptist Hospital. It's played in A
(capo at 2nd fret). All the below is written as though played in 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] :
G -------------------------0------------------------------------- ||
D -----4-p-2--4----2-h-4------4--2-p-0---------------------------.||
A ----------------------------------------3-----2--0-------------.||
E -0--------------------------------------------------3----0----- || x 2
Em C
You can call me greedy coz I keep a piece of me
Em C
You can call me greedy there's a place you'll never see
Am G +
where the lights are all out and the door stays slammed
Am G+6 B
if that's being greedy, that's what I am
[repeat the intro]
Em C
You hate me changing it's the change you can't control
Em C
You hate me changing and the wandering of my soul
Am G +
searching the storm for some frozen calm*
Am G+6 B
if that's being greedy that's what I am

/ 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 could be G/B or even another chord with B in the bass, although B
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 (i.e. exactly what you play if you're
using a capo at the 2nd fret) :
e --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------9------11-----------
A -------7--9--9-----7---(7/)9------11--12----------------------
E ----9--------.--------9---------------------------------------
