"Honesty is no Excuse" as performed by Thin Lizzy.

From Thin Lizzy's self titled first album.

This wonderful song is in 3/4 time.

Tune your guitar to the recording.  On the CD I have, everything seems to be
a quarter-tone flat for most of the tracks on the album.

Play to the basic rhythm of each bar having 4 eighth notes followed by a
quarter.  You'll obviously know the rhythm if you have heard the song
before.


Play most chords as barre chords.  The A, A7 and D are in the 5th position,
until you go to the turnarounds, then you can play in the standard open
form.

Each chord name represents one bar.

INTRO :

A    A    A    A


Verse: (Play verse twice the first time through)

A    A    A    A
A7   D    G    G7
Bm   Bm/A E    E7
CBm   A    E    E7


Chorus:

A    C#m  G    Bm=A=D (Each chord gets one beat for this measure)
E    E    E    E


Verse:
Up 'til now ....
