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 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
