                           "Mostly Grey" by Emerson Hart
                        From the album "Beauty In Disrepair"
E|E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|||

Tabbed by: Aaron Field


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.

Intro:  Dsus2 - Em7



Verse 1:

Dsus2            Em7
 I used to be so beautiful
Dsus2                 Em7
 I used to build with my own hands
               Dsus2           Em7
But I sold it away, I sold it away



Verse 2:

Dsus2               Em7
 I used to know the taste of tears
Dsus2                Em7
 I've found a way to sell my fears
                 Dsus2             Em7
And I sold them away, I sold them away



Bridge 1:

F#
 I used to be
F             Dsus2 (Riff)
 I used to be here



Verse 3:

Dsus2            Em7
 I used to care about the fight
Dsus2                Em7
 I'll fall to one, I broke my light
                 Dsus2             Em7
Now it's fading away, It's fading away



Bridge 2:

F#
 Don't fade away
F               Dsus2 (Riff)
 Don't go away, please



Chorus:

  Dsus2
I told myself a thousand times
  A5
I live and breathe between these lines
    Em7
And when it shakes, I wash away
    Asus4              A
And all that's left is mostly grey
     Dsus2
I've locked myself inside a thought
  A5
I tried to hide, but I got caught
      Em7
Can't be undone, no more to say
    Asus4               A          (F# - F)
And all that's left is mostly grey



Bridge 3:  F# - F then

  F#
I used to think I had no end
    F
But all I see is break
        Dsus2 (Riff)  Dsus2
And I'd felt
