Sky High Honey

(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: 

C            Em                F       G 
I bet you're laughing at some joke he told you 
C         Em             F         G 
With his arm around your sunburnt shoulders 
G           Em              F                G 
I spent the morning with my face against the windowseat 
G       Em              F                   G 
Looking down at all the things that got the best of me 



[Refrão]
C                  F/C 
No more late night drives to Boston 
F                  C (walkdown) 
No more Cure songs to get lost in 
C              F/C 
No more taxis, subway tokens 
F                   C (walkdown)    C 
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone. 

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. 



[Refrão]
C                  F/C 
No more late night drives to Boston 
F                  C (walkdown) 
No more Cure songs to get lost in 
C              F/C 
No more taxis, subway tokens 
F                   C (walkdown)    Em 
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone. 
C (walkdown)        Em 
I'm sky high honey, gone. 

Bridge: 

Em           F                C 
You wait too long, you never leave 
Em                F          C          G 
And it feels like dying, but still your heart beats 

Em, F, C, G 
Em, F, C walkdown 

Chorus 3 (quieter) 

C                  F/C 
No more late night drives to Boston 
F                  C (walkdown) 
No more Cure songs to get lost in 
C              F/C 
No more taxis, subway tokens 
F                   C (walkdown)    Em 
Arms wide open, I'm sky high honey, gone. 
C (walkdown)        C 
I'm sky high honey, gone.
