BLACK BOYS ON MOPEDS
Sinead O'Connor
(from _I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got_)
Intro/strum pattern:
D A G, with an A on the last beat before returning to D.
Spelled out in 3/4 time, it goes: D D D A A A G G G G G A D...
D A G
Margaret Thatcher...
A D A G
A D A G
A D A G
CHORUS:
(G) A D A G
England's not the mythical...
D A G
D A G
D A G
(hold G for extra measure, then A on last beat before verse)
Young mother...
These are dangerous...
CHORUS
"Ooo" to fade over verse chords, end on D
Thanks for the tab. To pull it off in B, the key Sinead sings it, in try
capo at the fourth fret and then
D=G
A=D
G=C
I think this voicing matches up pretty well and sounds good against barre
chords starting with B
at the seventh fret.
Thanks again.
