Black Betty The Moon


----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Betty & The Moon - The Horrible Crowes - Elsie Full Step Down (DGCFAd) Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brilliant tune from a brilliant long awaited new album - there's a tricky strumming pattern to this tune but you should get it with practice. Sorry about the tab title - I got it wrong and now UG won't let me change it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords used: Relative to standard tuning Mute/Don't play the strings marked with an 'x' G (320033) Em7 (022033) F#/D (20023x) Cadd9 (x32033) Bm (x24432) D (x00232) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 1: Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion Em7 Cadd9 G F#/D Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath 'til it's blue Em7 Cadd9 G F#/D And they can't turn away like I can't, when you're lookin' like you do Pre-chorus: G Well looky Black Betty, what they tying to you Em7 You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do G And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web Em7 F#/D I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in Verse 2: Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 My heart, my heart, you're the moon and her shining light Em7 Cadd9 G F#/D Darkness in void of form, like you were keeping me alive Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 And I've been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies Em7 Cadd9 G F#/D G Clever as the viper dear, but gentle as a stampede of stones Pre-chorus: G Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you Em7 D You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do G And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web Em7 F#/D I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in Chorus: Em7 F#/D Bm And they want you to doubt every trust that you've known Cadd9 Em7 And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed F#/D And they come on whispering, Bm If you just do this for me...
