Tori Amos - Pretty Good Year (ver 2) Chords
"Pretty Good Year" tab by Tori Amos
Ok. Let's get a few things straight. First of all, you need to strum this,
not pick it. You need to tune down a half-step, but I'm just going to call
them by what they would normally be. Here are the chords needed to play
this song. Some of the timing is kinda weird, but that is a given in most
Tori Amos songs. You can listen to the song to get all the timing and
also to get the exact structure.

Ok. That's it. If you're tuned a half-step down, then I guarantee you that
this is the closest you can come to having a perfect guitar tab for this
song. Unlike some of these morons I see everywhere, I don't submit a tab
unless I know it's right.

About artist:
Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and was noteworthy early in her career as one of the few alternative rock performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", and "A Sorta Fairytale".
Amos had sold 12+ million records worldwide as of 2005[1] and has also enjoyed a large cult following. Having a history of making eccentric and at times ribald comments during concerts and interviews, she has earned a reputation for being highly idiosyncratic. As a social commentator and sometimes activist, some of the topics she has been most vocal about include feminism, religion, and sexuality.
