(ver. 1)
The Wood Brothers
*Main Riff*
*Verse 1*

  D7             G7        
e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------2/3---|
G|--------------------3/4---|
D|---------3----------2/3---|
A|5--5-3-5---5-3------4/5---|
E|----------------3-3-------|
Play this 7 times per verse, twice per line and on last line strike 
the D and mute it til the singer's done, then play the riff once

D7                          G7                        D7      G7             
Standing on the back of that train with your open arms
D7                    G7                           D7      G7 
Looking at the big sky listening to the smoke alarm
          D7                                G7                              D7      G7 
If you’re wondering what happened well your heart must have jumped the track 
             D5                                                           D7      G7 
You put your lips out in the wind and you hope you get some kissing back

*Chorus 1*
     
      E7
Every night you get the same old dream
           G7
There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be

(slow it down and make it super lazy, put some funk on it)
            D5             Am      C     D5   Am   C
And there’s honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon

*Verse 2*
(Exactly the same as the first verse, in the guitar part at least)

     D7                      G7                  D7      G7 
Yeah white skin freckles big heart candy green eyes
I bet you wish you had your red-headed woman back sometime
Yeah the last thing you got was a left handed letter
        D5                                                  D7     G7
And you opened up the seal like you didn’t even know better

*Chorus 2*
(again, exactly the same as 1st time)

       E7
Every night you get the same old dream
           G7
There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be

            D5             Am      C     D5   Am   C
And there’s honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D5             Am      C    D5     Am     C
Honey dripping off of your spoon


*Bridge*
(keep it slow)

E7
And don’t you know the spoon’s getting low
G7
You worry and you wonder just where all the honey goes
E7
And you’re hoping and you’re praying real hard
G7
If you will it you can wish it if heaven has a honey jar

(Then go back into main verse riff and repeat a lot for solo. Not figuring it out cause 
this is blues, make your own, have fun, go nuts, D is a really easy key)

(After 16/32 bars, just strum chords once for-

         D7                                G7                             D7          G7
Yeah you wondered what happened well your heart must have jumped the track
              D7                          G7                             D7          G7
You put your lips out in the wind and you hope you get some kissing back

*Chorus 3 to end*
       E7                
Every night you get the same old dream
           G7
There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be

(now just repeat main riff til the end)
            D7                         G7
And there’s honey dripping off of your spoon
D7                          G7
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D7                          G7
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D7                          G7
Honey dripping off of your
                      D7                          G7
Heaven is a honey jar
                      D7                          G7
Yeah it’s a honey jar
D7                          G7
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D7                          G7
Honey dripping off of your spoon
D7                          G7

Honey dripping off of your
