Tuning: E A D G B E
TUPELO HONEY
by Van Morrison
All the other tabs were either off, wrong lyrics or incomplete. This has all chords, correct lyrics and
with the chords in the the correct position.
I prefer to play this as all barre chords
Bb - 688766
Dm - x57765
Eb - x68886
F - x8.10.10.10.8 or 133211 (I prefer sliding up to barre 8 from 6)
It also sounds very good transposed down on to A-C#m-D-E. Then you can play the verses as open chords, and
the chorus as barre - gives it a nice sound. Van Morrison did the hard part - coming up with a great song -
it's up to us to play it nicely no matter what key or chord structure :)
