Moonshiner by Cat Power

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 Chord diagramBB string while picking Chord diagramA augmentedA minor
before alternating to the Chord diagramE MajorE minor chord.

Tuning: Standard
Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramE minorEm
I've been a moonshiner

Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm
For seventeen long years

Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramE minorEm
I spend all my money on whiskey and beer


Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramE minorEm
I go to some hollow

Chord diagramA minorAm         Chord diagramE minorEm
And set up my holy, holy still

Chord diagramA minorAm         Chord diagramE minorEm
If drinking do not kill me

Chord diagramA minorAm        Chord diagramE minorEm
Then I don't know what will


Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm
I go to some bar room

Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramE minorEm
And drink with my friends

Chord diagramA minorAm             Chord diagramE minorEm
See if women and men would come to follow

Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm
To see what I might spend

Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramE minorEm
God bless them handsome men

Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramE minorEm
I wish they was mine

Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramE minorEm
Their breath is as sweet as

Chord diagramA minorAm          Chord diagramE minorEm
The dew on the holy, holy vine


Chord diagramA minorAm
You're already in hell

Chord diagramE minorEm
You're already in hell

        Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm
I wish we could go to hell


Chord diagramA minorAm          Chord diagramE minorEm
When the bottle gets empty,

Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm
