Song: Ballad of Bitter Honey

Tabbed by: Jonas Krainbring


Eef plays the C mostly with a G in the bass so he can play this alternating bass line C-G-C-G.
He does this on most of the other chord, too.
The Fmaj7 - Am7 e - Dm is a descending bass line on the D-string.
You'll know if you listen to the song...

C : 332010
Am7 e: 002010
Fmaj7: x33210
C b : x20010

Am G Fmaj7 Am7 e Dm
And all those other hoochie skanks, they ain't got shit on me
And [C]one of[C] N[b]elly's[Am] bodyguards[G], he totally ag[C]rees
[C] Yaa[C]da[b]ba[Am]dababam[G] Badababa [C]Bam

My [C]mother cleaned the [Fmaj7]homes of wealthy [G]people till the [C]day
She died and so to[Fmaj7] California[Dm] I did make my [G]way
Am G Fmaj7 Am7 e Dm
I tried to finish nursing school, I really wanted to you see
[C] But all those[C] b[b]roke[Am]n bodies well they[G], they really got to [C]me
[C] Yaa[C]da[b]ba[Am]dababam[G] Badababa [C]Bam

[C] They all think I'm [Fmaj7]stupid,[G] I can see it in their [C]eyes
But I know what's in[Fmaj7]side their hearts[Dm], I'll penetrate their [G]lies
Am G Fmaj7 Am7 e Dm
Sometimes it gets me crazy, but I keep my feelings hid

Am G Fmaj7 Am7 e Dm
No one should have to suffer, no one should go without
Don't [C]hate me [C]ca[b]use I [Am]know just what this [G]world is all [C]about
Don't hate me cause I know just what this world is all about
