Greg Graffin: Cold As The Clay Chords, from the album Cold As The Clay. Tabbed by Ricky Horror (mrrickyhorror@yahoo.com for questions or errors) I can't believe no one has posted this one yet. A great song by one of the best artists around. Intro/Riff1: E-A-Ab-F#m-E verse: E-A-B-C#m-B-{R1}-E chorus: {R2}-A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A-{R3}-F#m-E Riff2: E-F#m-Ab-A (Basically riff1 inverted) Riff3: A-Ab-E-F#m *note: I think the F#m's might simply be F#, but it sounds more accurate to me as a minor chord when I play it.
