Dr. Gregory Walter Graffin (born November 6, 1964 in Racine, Wisconsin), better known as Greg Graffin, is the vocalist and co-founder of the punk rock band Bad Religion. He attended El Camino Real High School.
In 1980, at age 15, Graffin and a few high school classmates formed Bad Religion in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. After making a name for themselves in the Los Angeles punk scene, releasing three EPs and two full-length albums, they disbanded in 1984.

Greg Graffin: Cold As The Clay Chords, from the album Cold As The Clay. Tabbed by Ricky Horror ([email protected] for questions or errors) I can't believe no one has posted this one yet. A great song by one of the best artists around.
*note: I think the F#m's might simply be F#, but it sounds more accurate to me as a minor chord when I play it.
Intro: E-A-Ab-F#m-E {rpt} EA Whispers of ancients buried by dust, BC#m Echoes of ages in canyons of rust, B {Riff1: AAbF#m}E {rpt riff1} Is heaven so lonely? I'll know soon enough {Riff2} EF#mAbAB Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, C#mBA Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime BA {Riff3:AAbEF#m} E {Rpt R1} Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
{Verse} E-A-B-C#m-B-{R1}-E The tools of the trade lie shopworn and old The skills of the master done died with his soul And the worklike routine is so lonely and cold
{Chorus} {R2}-A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A-{R3}-F#m-E Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
{Verse} E-A-B-C#m-B-{R1}-E The land was converted, the river was moved, The village expanded, some say it's improved, But the lingering feature is a grim attitude
{Chorus} {R2}-A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A-{R3}-F#m-E Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
