Sky High Honey Matt Nathanson Tabbed by: Robbie Vogel (robbievogel@gmail.com) (All Fs should be barred) There's a chord in the chorus that I don't know the name of, but I know it's right. I'm calling it F/C, and it's fingered like this: e|-----x--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----2--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----3--------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----1--------------------------------------------------------------------| The low E string 1 is optional, and played by the thumb. It's basically a C chord with a bar over the G and B strings. Also, in the chorus, there is a C (walkdown). If you listen to the song the guitar mimics the melody in the "sky high honey" part, which you can do by playing a C chord and then going: e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----1---0----------0-------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------2------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Alternatively, if you want it to sound bigger, you can go: C G Am7 G C Sky high honey, gone. OK, on to the music.

VERSE 2 (same chords) I take the streetcars around San Francisco Get winks from the pretty boys down in the Castro Through the turnstiles roll the Jappy (?) girls, the shabby dolls I can't resist myself, I get their names, I never call.
