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
AmI've been a Emmoonshiner
AmFor seventeen Emlong years
AmI spend all my Emmoney on whiskey and beer
AmI go to Emsome hollow
AmAnd set up my holy, Emholy still
AmIf drinking do not Emkill me
AmThen I don't know Emwhat will
AmI go to some Embar room
AmAnd drink with Emmy friends
AmSee if women and men would Emcome to follow
AmTo see what I Emmight spend
AmGod bless them handsome Emmen
AmI wish they was Emmine
AmTheir breath is Emas sweet as
AmThe dew on the holy, Emholy vine
AmYou're already in hell
EmYou're already in hell
I wish we could Amgo to hell Em
AmWhen the bottle gets Emempty,
AmThen life ain't worth the Emdrown
