Jeffrey Scott "Jeff" Buckley (born in Anaheim, California, USA on 17 November 1966 – 29 May 1997), raised as Scotty Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was the son of musicians Tim Buckley and Mary Guibert.
He had emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live At Sin-é, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records.

this is just a transcription of the chords to the song, it's not note for note. you'll need to listen to the cd to get the feel of it, and figure out some of the fills, but this is a beautiful song, and this should at least get you stated playing it. it should be pretty accurate, but Jeff uses some obscure chords in his music.
