Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is mostly the same tab by Harlan L Thompson under Bob Dylan, but for the Redbird version,
I like to tune the e string to F# and keep my fingers on the 3rd fret of the e and B strings at all times
like:
Bm G D A
F#|----------3----3-----3--------|
B|----------3----3-----3--------|
G|----4-----0----2-----2--------|
D|----4-----0----0-----2--------|
A|----2-----2----0-----0--------|
E|----------3-------------------|
If you don't want to tune your guitar down, he hits a note on the e string with the G, D, and A chords on the
5th fret, tuning the e string just makes it easier.
There's also this fill at certain parts of the song in the background:
F#|--1-0-----------| e|---3--2---0--------|
B|-------5---3----| B|-------------3-----|
G|----------------| or G|-------------------|
D|----------------| D|-------------------|
A|----------------| A|-------------------|
E|----------------| E|-------------------|
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Bm G D A
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Bm G D A
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
G A D G
I go to some hollow and set up my still
Bm G D
If whiskey don't kill me
A
Then I don't know what will
Bm G(Fill) D
[Verse 2]
Bm G D A
I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
Bm G D A
Where the women can't follow and see what I spent
G A
God bless them pretty women
D G
How I wish they was mine
Bm G D
Their breath is as sweet as
A
The dew on the vine
Bm G(Fill) D
[Verse 3]
Bm G D
Let me eat when I'm hungry
A
Let me drink when I'm dry
Bm G D
Give me dollars when I'm hard up
A
Religion when I die
G A
The whole world is a bottle
D G
And life's just a dram
Bm D
When a bottle gets empty
A
It sure ain't worth a damn
[Outro]
Bm G(Fill) D
