------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mostly Grey" by Emerson Hart From the album "Beauty In Disrepair" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I've included 2 versions of this song. The 1st sounds the closest to the original recording and the way that Emerson plays it live. The the 2nd is the Capo'd version I like to play so that I don't have to change my guitar tuning.
Version 1:
Both E's dropped to C#
All other strings 1/2 step down
Chord names have been altered to be more recognizable as if in standard tuning. Actual chord names are listed below the chord chart.
