Rarely Spoken - Better Than Ezra
(Written by Kevin Griffin)
(Words Transcribed by Ferlen David III)
(Music Transcribed by Douglas Kojetin - envirodug@aol.com)

NOTE:  the intro and refrain are used in other places of the song
    :  the song starts with the intro and refrain
To make it sound better, it is good to pick the bass note
of the chord, then strum the strings.
To get the strumming correct, listen to the recording.
(I used the 99x Live X '95)
