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:welch05@mc.edu 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. i.e., the "Bb" becoming a "G". There is a legend at the bottom of the page for those transpositions. thanks! Verse: Bb F/A Be good is her name Gm F Bb And I sing my lion's song and brush my mane Bb F/A She would and she could Gm F Eb Dm7 Gsus G So she pulled my lion's tail and caused me pain Chorus: Gm7 F#dim She said lion's are made for cages F Edim Just to look at in delight Gm7 F#dim You dare not let 'em walk around F Eb '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) Bb F/A Gm7 F Bb e|------------------------0--------------------------------------------------------| B|-0------3-------3-------3---------3----------------------------------------------| G|-0------2-------0-------2---------0----------------------------------------------| D|-0------0-------2-------0---------0----------------------------------------------| A|-2------x-------2-----------------2----------------------------------------------| E|-3------2-------0------------0-2--3----------------------------------------------| 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!
