Tuning: Standard (EADGBE), although the verse riff on the album sounds like it?s
in dropped D (DADGBE) so tell me if you find something that sounds better.
Intro/Chorus Riff: Just one chord shape. Barre with your first finger & use the
other three to hold the other notes. Simple.

Tab Legend:
X = mute by resting lightly on the strings with your
fretting hand.
PM = mute by resting the edge of your hand on the strings
near the bridge while playing to get that ?thump? sound.
TP = pick the strings as fast as possible to create a
vibrato style effect.
Lyrics:
A certain shade of green,
Tell me,is that what you need?
All signs around say move ahead,
Could someone please explain to me your ever present
Lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by rope?
Or do crutches cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear,
Street signs point the way.
Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a grey
Watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation
Signed ?Choose now or loose it all,?
Sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You?ve been raised in limitation,
But that glove never fit quite right.
The time has passed for hand-me-downs,
Choose anew, please evolve,
Take flight.
What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?
A public decliration?
A private cosolation?
That?s about it. There?s a noise in the background
that sounds like it?s a guitar note fading in and
out, but it might be DJ Lyfe messing about.This is
my first go at writing tabs, so go easy on me.E-mails
containing corrections,opinions & useful knitting
tips can be sent to the above address.Ta.
