Subject: TAB: grace by Jeff Buckley
Grace: written by Jeff Buckley + Gary Lucas.
>From the album "Grace"
Trans: Eliiott.
note: h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide
pre-verse:
note: When I figured this out, I had a capo on the second
fret. Therefore an 0 represents a capoed 2nd fret. I'm not sure if
this is all correct. Some of it sounded a bit dodgy when it was played
along with the tape but sounded fine on its own.

| "wait in the fire" is he referring to life, possibly, as he waits for death to extinguish the flames? if so that would imply a painful life. i dunno, Buckley seems very accepting of death in this long, but not in a 'please put me out of my misery' kind of way. Hence the reason why this line throws me off. Maybe i'm just way off here. | |

| Could the lyrics be interpreting the loss of emotion. Realisation that the fight cannot go on forever, and with true love the flame may finally extingush. wilde's " One always kills the one it loves" Jeff is killing himself from the inside out. | |

| I think the fire is maybe what you could call the torment of existence, the continuous struggle to understand and rationalise one's own existence and being. I think in this song JB is saying that he has come to accept that the struggle cannot be won against death in the end - not that he necessarily wants to die, but more that he is no longer afraid to give in to the ultimate enigma of death, the extinguishing of the 'fire' of existence - "I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow." Not at all negative in my opinion. Perhaps a little spooky in conjunction with his young death. | |
