Moonshiner by Cat Power
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chan's take on the classic folk song, from 'Moon Pix' (1998). Again, as with a
great many of her songs, just two chords arpeggiated (picked). Not going to bother
tabbing this, but if you play around with the chords, you should be able to figure
out the picking pattern (note that she plays some of the open strings as well). I
figured out how to play this by ear in about 2 minutes, which, coming from me,
means it's fairly simple. I believe she bends the B string while picking A minor
before alternating to the E minor chord.
Tuning: Standard
Am Em
I've been a moonshiner
Am Em
For seventeen long years
Am Em
I spend all my money on whiskey and beer
Am Em
I go to some hollow
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/cat-power/323816.html ]
Am Em
And set up my holy, holy still
Am Em
If drinking do not kill me
Am Em
Then I don't know what will
Am Em
I go to some bar room
Am Em
And drink with my friends
Am Em
See if women and men would come to follow
Am Em
To see what I might spend
Am Em
God bless them handsome men
Am Em
I wish they was mine
Am Em
Their breath is as sweet as
Am Em
The dew on the holy, holy vine
Am
You're already in hell
Em
You're already in hell
Am Em
I wish we could go to hell
Am Em
When the bottle gets empty,
Am Em
Then life ain't worth the drown
