Gretzy Rocks
The Pursuit of Happiness 
- from the album "Where's The Bone ?"
Words and Music by Moe Berg

Transcribed by Michael Allcock (oldols@btinternet.com)
Corrections much appreciated (if there's anyone out there still listening to TPOH!)

Where's the Bone ? Where's the album more like; I'm doing this from memory
so please forgive me if some of it (especially the lyrics) is a little wrong

I've done this in G but he actually plays it in A, so just bung a capo 
on fret 2. There's 3 little fills but other than that it's easy,

Pattern 1:
e 3--3-3-3-3-3---3--3-
B 3--3-3-3-3-3---3--3-
G 0--0-0-0-0-0---0--0-
D 0--0-0-0-0-0--2--0--
A 2--2-2-2-2-2--------
E 3--3-3-3-3-3--------
Pattern 2:
e 3--3-3-3-3-3---3--3-
B 3--3-3-3-3-3---3--3-
G 0--0-0-0-0-0---0--0-
D 0--0-0-0-0-0--------
A 2--2-2-2-2-2--------
E 3--3-3-3-3-3--1--3--

These 2 are always played consecutively
or to use one of my crap rythmn charts (let's use 10/4 to make it clearer) 
/=downstroke, \=upstroke -=rest, p=pick note, not play chord

 G       ED   G       FG
|/-\/\/\-pp| |/-\/\/\-pp|

anyhow between these 2 lame attempts to tab it and a good listen you should
be able to figure it out

Pattern 3 (fill):
e -3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3----3---3-
B -3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3----3---3-
G -0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0----0---0-
D 3-2-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0----------
A ------3---2-2-2-2-2-2----------
E ----------2-2-2-2-2-2-1~3-1~3--
~ is slide btw 

crap rythmn chart returns: (who knows what the signature is by now....hard
to get semi-quavers in tabs unfortunately)

 FEDCG     FGFG  
|pppp/\/\/\pppp| 

Right so, here's suggested chordings and then lets get on with it:
G:320033
C:x32013
D:x54035 yes, try it ;)
Bm:224432
