The current tab of Greedy Fly by Bush is a little off. This tab should
be a little better, especially the intro.
Greedy Fly
Recorded by Bush
>From the album Razorblade Suitcase
Transcribed by Matt Koenig (mmkoenig@students.uiuc.edu)
This is pretty close...maybe a couple notes off in places.
I put a bar in the places on the intro that make it easiest to learn.

This is 'Greedy Fly' by 'Bush'. It's a really cool song off the 'Razorblade Suitcase' album.
I know there is another copy of this song posted, but I tried playing it with the CD and it
was not right. So, I decided to tab it myself. It sounds right, however there may be a few
missing notes here and there. Anyway, here it is.

The solo isn't worth the time to type out, most of it is simple high E
eighth fret and a full bend on the 11th fret on the B string.
