Here is my transcription for Dave Matthews Grey Street - From the
album "Busted Stuff". This transcription is self-explanatory as most
of my transcriptions are. You will have to work at getting the
rhythm right, & especially keeping it going while singing - not an
easy task - but then again, so many of Dave's songs are that way.
Have fun - As always . . . Ian C.T. vom Saal 8/2002

Verse1
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street
She thinks, Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can't get out of this place
-------------------------------
Chorus
Bm A
There's an emptiness inside her
D/F#G
And she'd do anything to fill it in
BmA Intro/Verse Chords
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
-------------------------------
Verse2
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears he doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her he might
She says, I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it all myself?
To get out of this place
---------------------------
Chorus
There's loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
intro
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
----------------------------------------
Verse3
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It'd take the work out of the courage
But she says, Please
There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street, and the end of the world
---------------------------------------------------
Chorus
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
intro
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
