Morning Theft by Jeff Buckley





                             Morning Theft








this is just a transcription of the chords to the song, it's not note for note. you'll
need to listen to the cd to get the feel of it, and figure out some of the fills, but
this is a beautiful song, and this should at least get you stated playing it. it should
be pretty accurate, but Jeff uses some obscure chords in his music.
