------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAD FOR YOU - Haley Bonar http://www.haleybonar.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Rvaen Email: [email protected] This tab is for C.G.
I first saw Haley Bonar when she opened for Andrew Bird at the Chicago Opera House in 2009. This song was my favorite, mostly because its such a raw, exposed song that's all her lovely pipes. The hardest part about this was transcribing the lyrics, the chords simple, and taken from a video, so I'm 100% that this is how she plays it.
In the video I watched she has capo on 1st fret, but in her Daywalker Session recording, is played without. Also in the Daywalker session she arpeggiated all the chords, she just strummed the chords in the video.
Intro: C
CFmaj7C Everything's bad for you, honey, everything's bad for you C Don't forget what they told ya, you'll never be older, GC Cause everything's bad for you.
C Don't laugh too much, or cry too much, Fmaj7C Or eat a candy bar for your lunch C If hope don't dope or hate the Pope <-(not sure on these lyrics) G Or use unhypoallergenic soap C Don't eat don't chew don't drive your car Fmaj7C Or pick up strange men from the bar C Pet stray cats or smoke cigars GC Cause all of it's bad for you
Am Ohh- Everything's bad for you Fmaj7C From the sun and the sky and the gum on your shoe C Sleepin' in too much and havin' nothin' to do GC Oh everything's bad for you
Am Everything's bad for you Fmaj7C Rock and roll, and the government too C Swearin' and starin' into swimmin' pools GC Everything's bad for you
C T.V. shows and magazines Fmaj7C Huffin' on markers and gasoline C Dressin' like a tramp or a beauty queen G Tryin' to get to Heaven when your hands ain't clean
Am Ohh- Everything's bad for you Fmaj7C From the sun and the sky and the gum on your shoe C Sleepin' in too much and havin' nothin' to do GAm Oh everything's bad for you GAm Oh everything's bad for you GC Oh everything's bad for you
Last notes: The last verse and last chorus were not in the Daywalker Session either. I promise I didn't make them up. They were in the video I tabbed from.
