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 B string while picking
 A minor
before alternating to the E minor 
chord.

Tuning: Standard



Am          Em
I've been a moonshiner

Am            Em
For seventeen long years

Am             Em
I spend all my money on whiskey and 
beer



Am      Em
I go to some hollow

Am                  Em
And set up my holy, holy still

Am                 Em
If drinking do not kill me

Am                Em
Then I don't know what will



Am           Em
I go to some bar room

Am             Em
And drink with my friends

Am                         Em
See if women and men would come to 
follow

Am            Em
To see what I might spend

Am                      Em
God bless them handsome men

Am              Em
I wish they was mine

Am              Em
Their breath is as sweet as

Am                   Em
The dew on the holy, holy vine


Am
You're already in hell

Em
You're already in hell

                Am            Em
I wish we could go to hell


Am                   Em
When the bottle gets empty,

Am                        Em
Then life ain't worth the drown
