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 (x1333x@1) F/ABe (x03211@1)good is her name
Gm (355333@1) F (133211@1) BbAnd (x1333x@1)I sing my lion's song and brush my mane
Bb (x1333x@1) F/AShe (x03211@1)would and she could
Gm (355333@1) F (133211@1) EbDm7 (x43121@3)Gsus G
So she pulled my lion's tail and caused me pain
Chorus:
Gm7 F#dimShe (2312xx@1)said lion's are made for cages
F (133211@1) EdimJust (3423xx@1)to look at in delight
Gm7 F#dimYou (2312xx@1)dare not let 'em walk around
F (133211@1) Eb'cause (x43121@3)they might just bite
Bb (x1333x@1) F/ADoes (x03211@1)she know what she does when
Gm (355333@1) F (133211@1) Bbshe (x1333x@1)dances 'round my cage and says her name?
Bb (x1333x@1) F/A (x03211@1) Gm (355333@1)F (133211@1)BbBe (x1333x@1)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 (x1333x@1) F/A (x03211@1) Gm7 F (133211@1) Bb (x1333x@1)e|------------------------0--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-0------3-------3-------3---------3----------------------------------------------|

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.
