Ween - So Long Jerry

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 .
