Hi again from Zack. Here's the tab for Grace by Stuart Davis. I'm working off a video from the concert at Macalester College in October 2003. Email me with any questions or comments: zyoumans@macalester.edu In the video, Stuart plays the song with his guitar tuned down a half step, but with a capo on the first fret. So the end result is that the song sounds like it's in standard tuning without a capo. You can play it either way, but tuning down and using the capo makes riffs a and b easier as it shortens the distance you have to stretch... The Lyrics: Grace comes home drunk sometimes, Beats on the doorway to my guts. I fumble with the locks till the wound opens up. She falls in, laughing. Honey, I'm home. Honey, I'm home. I wince as she stumbles up my spine, and leaves a trail of bruises on my ribs. I choke on her dancin' on my tongue. She kicks out a tooth. Honey, I'm home. Honey, I'm home. She lights a cigarette inside my head, and blows all the smoke into my eyes. Until she sees a tear, then she sighs. Just what I thought, another fragile buddha.
