TUPELO HONEY
by Van Morrison
All the other tabs were either off, wrong lyrics or incomplete.  This has all chords, correct lyrics and
with the chords in the the correct position.
I prefer to play this as all barre chords
Bb
 - 688766
Dm
 - x57765
Eb
 - x68886
F  - x8.10.10.10.8  or 133211  (I play the F at barre 8 as it’s easier to slide up there from the Eb at barre 6)
It also sounds very good transposed down on to A-C#m-D-E.  Then you can play the verses as open chords, and
the chorus as barre - gives it a nice sound.  Van Morrison did the hard part - coming up with a great song -
it's up to us to play it nicely no matter what key or chord structure :)

[Verse 1]
Bb       Dm           Eb     Bb
 You can take all the tea in China,
Bb      Dm             Eb      F
 Put it in a big brown bag for me.
Bb          Dm            Eb    Bb
 Sail right round all the seven oceans,
Bb       Dm                Eb        Bb
 Drop it straight into the deep blue sea.
[Chorus]
Bb        Dm       Eb     Bb
 She's as sweet as Tupelo honey,
Bb        Dm           Eb        F
 She's an angel of the first deg-ree.
Bb        Dm       Eb     Bb
 She's as sweet as Tupelo honey,
Bb         Dm          Eb       Bb
 Just like honey baby, from the bee.
[Verse 2]
Bb         Dm             Eb      Bb
 You can't stop us on the road to freedom,
Bb         Dm               Eb       F
 You can't keep us 'cos our eyes can see.
Bb        Dm       Eb     Bb
 Men with insight, men in granite,
Bb          Dm             Eb     Bb
 Knights in armour bent on chival-ry.
[Chorus]
Bb        Dm       Eb     Bb
 She's as sweet as Tupelo honey,
Bb        Dm           Eb        F

 Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea.
