Chords with lyrics

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 BB string while picking A augmentedA minor
before alternating to the E MajorE minor chord.
Tuning: Standard
A minorAm E minorEm
I've been a moonshiner
A minorAm E minorEm
For seventeen long years
A minorAm E minorEm
I spend all my money on whiskey and beer
A minorAm E minorEm
I go to some hollow
A minorAm E minorEm
And set up my holy, holy still
A minorAm E minorEm
If drinking do not kill me
A minorAm E minorEm
Then I don't know what will
A minorAm E minorEm
I go to some bar room
A minorAm E minorEm
And drink with my friends
A minorAm E minorEm
See if women and men would come to follow
A minorAm E minorEm
To see what I might spend
A minorAm E minorEm
God bless them handsome men
A minorAm E minorEm
I wish they was mine
A minorAm E minorEm
Their breath is as sweet as
A minorAm E minorEm
The dew on the holy, holy vine
A minorAm
You're already in hell
E minorEm
You're already in hell
A minorAm E minorEm
I wish we could go to hell
A minorAm E minorEm
When the bottle gets empty,
A minorAm E minorEm
