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.
