Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
I really loved this song from the first time I heard it. At first, it may sound
difficult with chord voicing and movement, but you'll get the hang of it. Hope it works out
for you. Keep jazz alive.

Be Good (Lion's Song)-Gregory Porter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Andrew Welch
E-mail:[email protected]
Key:Bb
Capo 3rd Fret
IMPORTANT: I usually play this song with a the Capo on the 3rd. If you choose to do
that, you must play the chords in G formation, which are in parenthesis. i.e., the "Bb" becoming a "G". There is a legend at the bottom of the page for those transpositions. thanks!
Verse:
Bb(G) F/A (D/F#)
Be good is her name
Gm (Em) F (D) Bb (G)
And I sing my lion's song and brush my mane
Bb F/A
She would and she could
Gm F Eb (C) Dm7 (Bm7) Gsus G (Esus, E)
So she pulled my lion's tail and caused me pain
Chorus:
Gm7 (Em7) F#dim (Ebdim)
She said lion's are made for cages
F (D) Edim (Dbdim)
Just to look at in delight
Gm7 F#dim
You dare not let 'em walk around
F Eb (C)
'cause they might just bite
Bb F/A
Does she know what she does when
Gm F Bb
she dances 'round my cage and says her name?
Bb F/A Gm F Bb
Be good.. Be good
You'll notice the upright carrying the rhythm and walking up continuously from the F
back to the Bb. Here's a quick tab for that:
(relative to capo 3)

On the Gm7 for the Chorus, I start with a different variation of Gm7: (You'll notice why)

The rest of the song quite simply repeats what's tabbed above. The solo under the sax
may deviate slightly, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.
If there are any questions, please email me!
