SO LONG JERRY - words and music by Ween
**from the EP "You Were The Fool / Piss Up A Rope"
I don't understand why they didn't put this one on the Country Greats album.
In my opinion it would have been one of the strongest songs. Gener never
sounded so sensitive. The intro and break are played almost exactly the same
as the verses, with slight variations. Also when playing the G chord at the
end of a line play (=0=3=0=3=) on the low E, listen to the song and you'll
know what I mean.
