Graceland (The Bible!)
----------------------
This is on `Random Acts of Kindness` and also `Walking the Ghost Back Home` by
The Bible! Written by Boo Hewerdine and Tony Shepherd. Unless there`s
something wrong with my CD player or guitar tuning (quite possible), the key
seems to be about halfway between G and Ab. Below is written as though played
in G at the nut.

ooh ooh ooh , etc. over A E D E
Right hand:
v is a downstroke
^ is an upstroke
Va is slightly arpeggiated downstroke
^a is slightly arpeggiated upstroke
N.C. is no chord
* The section oo oo oo, all my wanting. . . waiting. working, etc. is
played as the lowest 4 notes in each chord, played as a slow arpeggio, but
this can sound a bit thin without keyboards underneath it, so strumming this
bit might be better unless you`re playing with a band.
h is a hammer-on

320003 - G
XX0000 - G+6
XX0232 - D

XX023x - D2 hit it hard on the D&G strings
X32010 - C

Any improvements welcome.
