mark! that's essentially what i had settled on late last night as i was trying to get to sleep! thank you for that. does that mean the melody is the same throughout?

Here is a chord transcription but no "dots" for melody. Bob Steidl's transcriptions are acrually linked directly from Greg's site so you've probably already checked those out.

alternatively, is it just the same two lines repeated over and over?

E to F, D to E
C to D, D# to E?

with the chords something like:
Am F G C
F Dm B7 E

kind of a leonard cohen minimalist effect?

i found a clip that goes from "feet in the muck" to "hundred old lovers" and it sounds like it might repeat...

Does anyone have a midi/mp3/transcription of the melody and chords for "twenty or so"? It's on greg brown's album 44 & 66, which my library is ordering but which won't be here for months... i don't know if i can wait that long!

i'd accept tuneful renditions via phone, too... :) 206-947-4718
