BAND:        Live
SONG:        Beauty Of Grey
TABBED BY:   el sancco (sancco@hotmail.com)

This is my first actual chord tab, so bear with me.  This song
is played half a step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).  All the riffs
you need are here.  Also, the tabs are at the bottom.  Enjoy.


INTRO:
------
Bm  F#



VERSE:
------
Bm                        F#
If I told you he was your brother
Bm                                F#
We could reminisce then you would go about your day
Bm                     F# 
If I said you ought to give him some of your water
      Bm                           F#
You'd shake your canteen and walk away



PRE-CHORUS:
-----------
     G                                D    A
This perception that divides you from him
     G               D          A           G
Is a lie -- for some reason you never asked why
        D               A     G
This is not a black and white world
          D           A             C
You can't afford to believe in your side



CHORUS:
-------
        Bm                    Em  
This is not a black and white world
      Bm                               F# 
To be alive I say that the colors must swirl
      Bm                   Em
And I believe that maybe today
        D                 A                       Bm   F#      
We will all get to appreciate the beauty of grey



INTERLUDE:
----------
              Bm     Em
The beauty of grey
              D      A
The beauty of grey



BRIDGE:

Look into your eyes
No daylight
New day now
