Cat Power – Moonshiner chords
Chords:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: StandardAm EmI've been a moonshinerAm EmFor seventeen long yearsAm EmI spend all my money on whiskey and beerAm EmI go to some hollowAm EmAnd set up my holy, holy stillAm EmIf drinking do not kill meAm EmThen I don't know what willAm EmI go to some bar roomAm EmAnd drink with my friendsAm EmSee if women and men would come to followAm EmTo see what I might spendAm EmGod bless them handsome menAm EmI wish they was mineAm EmTheir breath is as sweet asAm EmThe dew on the holy, holy vineAm You're already in hellEmYou're already in hellAm Em I wish we could go to hellAm EmWhen the bottle gets empty,Am EmThen life ain't worth the drown
