  'Awful Bliss' by Guided by Voices

                   from the album 'Bee Thousand'



        standard tuning (EBGDAE) - the recorded versions guitar

        is tuned somewhat sharp (approx A450 instead of A440) so

        if you're playing along with the record, tune up to match...

        otherwise no one will notice.



            chords (from low E to high E)
