John Lennon - Bony Moronie Chords & Tabs

Bony Moronie
(Williams)

I heard this in the John Lennon album “Rock’n’Roll”, 1973




This is the riff we can here almost in the whole song :

e|------- ------- ------- ----|------- ------- ------- -----|
B|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|--7---7----------------------|
A|-------------------7---9----|----------9----7---------7---|
E|-5---------7-/-9------------|--------------------9--------| 


e|------- ------- ------- ----|------- ------- ------- -----|
B|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|--7---7----------------------|
A|-------------------7---9----|----------9----7---------7---|
E|-5---------7-/-9------------|--------------------9--------|

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_lennon/bony_moronie_tab.html ]
There’s a moment when there is the same, but higher. Instead of an A, begin with a D


e|------- ------- ------- ----|------- ------ ------- -----|
B|----------------------------|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|--12--12--------------------|
A|------------------12--14----|----------14--12-------12---|
E|-10--------12/14------------|-------------------14-------| 


e|------- ------- ------- ----|------- ------ ------- -----|
B|----------------------------|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|--12--12--------------------|
A|------------------12--14----|----------14--12-------12---|
E|-10--------12/14------------|-------------------14-------| 




Use distortion to get the same sound…
This my first tab, hope it will do.
Hope it will help someone too.

Enjoy !!!
