Song: "Name"
Album: A Boy Named Goo
By: Zack Smith, [email protected]

I have seen many versions of this song, but I believe that mine is the 
closest to the actual CD recording. If you have anything to say, please 
email me at [email protected].
I am confident that this is the most accurate version you will find.  
There may be some shady parts in the chorus, but if you listen to the 
original recording closely then you should be able to figure them out.  
Email me with suggestions, because I am always open for advice. I hope 
that you can use this.

Drop the low E string to D.
Raise the G string to A.
Drop the B string to A.

"/" means: slide up
