My Tiger My Heart Chords & Tabs
Props to Robert Leyland for doing the original tab, but the chords are a bit off.
Here's the revised and correct version.
Standard Tuning
Intro: Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and
ending on the bass note.
G Bm
As sweet as a plum (Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
It's quite easy to catch onto.)
C Bm
And lovely as dawn
C G D
Rolling its tongue over its gums
G Bm
Like tiger and me
C Bm
As happy as could be
C G
Sat out on the porch
Bm C
As the whole of the sky
Am D
Clouds quietly over
Bm C
And it starts to cry
Am D
Softly on my shoulder

Happier being free
