Biography:
Bush may refer to at least 2 artists:
1. A British post-grunge band
2. A Canadian rock band
1. Bush is an English alternative rock band formed in 1992. The group chose the name "Bush" because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London.
Their first album, Sixteen Stone (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive promotion on MTV and non-stop touring.

Bush - 16 Stone Album
Std. Tuning
Chords: (all power/5ths)
C# = x466xx
A = 577xxx (or x022xx)
E = x799xx
B = 799xxx (or x244xx)
D# = x688xx
F = x81010xx
F#m = 244xxx
This is an interpretation of the song for jamming on a single guitar. Chords for all
rhythm sections included. There are some decent tabs out there for this song, but no
chord posts. This is a Bush song, so I won't try to overcomplicate it as others have. I
found the tabs extremely hard to follow. My goal is to eliminate all the guess work in
offering a complete and intuitive version.
Note: I'm not playing it exactly per the CD. I am playing on acoustic. I also slow the
song down, eliminate some of the shouting/intensity, and it makes an awesome
alternative version. Can really put a lot of feeling into this song. (Chords should
work on electric, and cranked up as well)
