There are actually a few ways you can play this song. The Key is Ebminor, so you can
it using barre chords or by CAPOING the 6th fret to play it in Aminor. You can also lower
tuning 1/2 step to Eb and play it open in eminor (this is what is probably happening on
record.)
Or, you can always play it in Eminor open with regular tuning, knowing it will be 1/2
higher than the record. I transcribed it as sounded on the recording - at the bottom is
out the alternate chords. If the key is too high to sing you can transcribe to Dm or
the capo one or two frets if you use the capo.
ENJOY!!!
[Ebm]At the [F#]sharp end of the v[C#]iew
The [Ab]edge of me and [Ebm]you
And all good se[F#]nse that tread no[C#] further[Ab]
[Ebm]And as the g[F#]host will shiver [C#]trees
How I'm tr[Ab]emblin' on my kn[Ebm]ees
But I'm still d[F#]rawn on by the the [C#]murmur
Are you l[Ebm]aughing at me n[E]ow?
[B]In my c[Bb]ircumstance
When s[Ebm]till I wear your [E]crown
[B]My life's p[Bb]enitence
For [Ab]what? What's so funny?
A B[F#]ox full o' honey
[Ebm]What I th[F#]ought a pretty tun[C#]e
Was h[Ab]owling at the m[Ebm]oon
To keep me c[F#]ompany this e[C#]vening[Ab]
[Ebm]It's so lone[F#]ly in the [C#]dirt
A scra[Ab]tching at the [Ebm]hurt
That I s[F#]o generously did [C#]leave you[Ab]
Are you [Ebm]laughing at me [E]now?
[B]In my [Bb]circumstance
When s[Ebm]till I where your c[E]rown
[B]Some cruel p[Bb]enitence
For wh[Ab]at? What's so funny?
[F#]A Box full o' honey
Break: Ebm - F# - C# - Ab
Is she [Ebm]flirting with me[F#] now?[C#-Ab]
Is she [Ebm]dallying with me [F#]now?[C#][-][Ab]
Are you f[Ebm]lirting with me [E]now?
[B]You'll al[Bb]ways be my q[Ebm]ueen of tumble d[E]own
[B]Miss Me[Bb]lancholy
Are you l[Ebm]aughing at me [E]now?
[B]In my circ[Bb]umstance
When s[Ebm]till I wear your c[E]rown
[B]And my life's a p[Bb]enitence
[Ab]For what? What's so funny?
[F#]Ain't it funny?
[E]A Box full o' honey[Ebm]
