Vivid by Greg Brown, from "Slant 6 mind" Submitted by Miles Hanisee Double Drop-D tuning D A D G B D ----------- D 0 0 0 2 3 0 Bm11 x 2 4 4 3 2 G 5 5 0 0 0 0 Intro: D chord - Travis Style Picking. Technique: -- On the third beat of each Bm11, Greg plays the 1st string open by removing the bar for that string - the E note becomes a D. -- Also, when playing the G chord, the D note on the 5th string is sometimes removed to play an open A to lead into the D chord. Bm11 G D You gave me flowers, all wet with dew Bm11 G D You gave me flowers. I'd like to give you something too Bm11 G D Vivid flowers. Raggedy yellow red and blue Bm11 G D Smell of rain and summer. Vivid. Just like you. You gave me music, with the bouquet from your hand. You gave me a living song, something I can understand. Let's go walking, when the party is through You gave me so much.
