Forget Her - Jeff Buckley (Unreleased)

Tabbed by William Smith - 2001

This is a provisional tab. Email [email protected] 
for latest version. "Forget Her" is an unreleased 
track, that I reckon ranks amongst Jeff's best 
songs. It was originally going to appear on Grace, 
but Jeff changed his mind right at the last minute 
and dropped it, probably because he felt the 
material was too personal (it was a about his only 
really serious girl friend). However, during the 
grace sessions he did record it and he played it 
live a couple of times. It appears on some bootleg 
CDs but it can easily be located on Napster in 
192Kbps format. Please do not contact me regarding 
the actual song as I won't distribute it. I would 
love comments or corrections on the tab.

I believe this song uses DROP-D tuning, you can 
play without, but it makes the chords harder.

The intro sequence:

E--------------|--------------    x 4
B--------------|--------------
G--------------|--------------
D------7-----7-|-----5-----3--
A----7-----7---|---5-----3----
D--7-----7-----|-2-----5------

Verse:
(NOTE: Lyrics do not lineup with guitar part 
exactly, fit them how you think they should go)

E---------------|---------------   x 2
B--------0------|--------0------
G--------5------|--------5------
D------7---7----|------7---7----
A----7-------7--|----7-------7--
D--7------------|--7------------

         By this time he's finished sleeping

E---------------|---------------   x 2
B--------0------|--------0------
G--------0------|--------0------
D------5---5----|------5---5----
A----5-------5--|----5-------5--
D--2------------|--2------------

         And all the noise has died away

-Repeat above pattern:

I walk the streets to stop my weeping
But she'll never change her ways

but these chords sound about right)
