Precious And Grace Chords & Tabs
This is a really kick ass version of ZZ Top's song. I'm pretty sure they play this in C
tuning (cause at the end there's a slide on the E note and it goes lower then an E), but
I'm playing this in standard E tuning. i'm getting lazier with my tabs, so i'm stacking
the lyrics rather then giving them their own space
