Better Off Dead(Tabs)

	        Australia 
Artist: Grinspoon 
Song: Better Off Dead 
Album: Easy 
Transcribed by: [email protected] 
 
	Here's something different... this song is not tuned in standard drop D as 
with all (well almost all) other Grinspoon songs 
Tune guitar to drop D down an extra half step (one fret) which puts it in 
C#

	I tabbed this song using an acoustic guitar so the solo may, or may not be 
out.  Anyway it's pretty damn close.
