A Good Man Is Hard To Find


I love this song. It's fairly simple. The most obvious way to play it is by putting a on the 1st fret and playing D, A, A7, D, D, D7, Em, E, E7, etc. But I lost my capo.. so the barre version. It also has a wonderful dooo-dooo-dooo doodoodoo thing going on between verses and in beginning.. as in: E|------6-----6-----6--------| B|------8-----8-----8--------| G|------8-----8-----8--------| D|---------------------------| A|---6-----5---------------5-| E|---------------8-----6-8---| Verse 1 Eb Bb I always play Russian Roulette in my head Bb7 Eb Seventeen black and twenty-nine red Eb Eb7 How far from the gutter Fm How far from the pew F F7 Bb Bb7 I'll always remember to forget about you Chorus Eb C A good man is hard to find Fm Bb Only strangers sleep in my bed Eb C7 My favorite words are good-bye Fm Bb Eb And my favorite color is red Verse 2 A long dead soldier looks out From the frame No one remembers his war; no one Remembers his name Verse 3 Go out to the meadow; Scare off all the crows It does nothing but rain here, And nothing will grow Chorus A good man is hard to find Only strangers sleep in my bed My favorite words are good-bye And my favorite color is Fm Bb my favorite color is Fm Bb Eb my favorite color is red
