Talkin Candy Bar Blues

Standard tuning  117 bpm I couldn’t find any tab for this song so I decided to create my own. I’ve tried to work it out from the original PP&M recording and I think it’s pretty close but there may be some errors in the Intro riff and Ending riff. If anyone has suggestions I’d be happy to hear them. The song is fingerpicked. It is in the "talking blues" tradition where a pattern is repeated while a spoken story is recited over the top of it. but these are made more interesting by incorporating a hammer-on for each chord. The chord pattern for the verses is: Except for Verse 5 which is: Riff A The Intro riff is: |--------------------------------|-------------------------|--------------| G|0-------------------------------|-0-----------------------|---0-------0--| D|----3---2---1---0---1---2-------|-----3---2---1---0-------|---0-------0--| A|----2---3---4---0---2-------2-0-|-----2---3---4---0---2p0-|------0h2-----| E|3---------------------------3---|-3-------------------3---|-3------------| This riff is also used at the end of Verse 4 The verse hammer-ons are like this: B|---------------1------1-----3-----3---3----3-| G|---0-----0-----0------0-----2-0h2-----2-0h2--| D|---0-----0-------0h2-----0----------0--------| A|-----0h2----3--------------------------------| E|3--------------------------------------------| Riff B The turnarounds at the end of the verses [except for Verse 4 which has the Intro riff]: B|---------------1------1-----3-------------------| G|---0-----0-----0------0-----2-----------0-----0-| D|---0-----0-------0h2-----0--------------0-----0-| A|-----0h2----3------------------2p0--------0h2---| E|3-------------------------------------3---------| End Riff:                           e|-----------------3---3--| B|-----------------3---0--| G|-------------0---0---0--| D|-----0h2-------------0--| A|-0h2-----------------2--| E|---------------------3--| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (spoken story with guitar accompaniment) [Intro]               [Verse 1] Bought a candy bar the other day Only ate half s’gonna throw the rest away When I saw this kid playin’ in the street I said "Hey kid you want somethin’ to eat?" He said "Whut?" I said "Candy son." He said "HELP!" Then he started to run And I stood there    Watchin’ him go      Half a bar of chocolate                   Riff B Runnin’ down my fingers [Verse 2] Well the kid comes back in a minute or two But his mom’s with him and the neighbors too And they got the kid scared it’s plain to see They say "Which one done it?" he points at me He says "Him"       I say "What do you mean?" He says "YOU!" then he starts to scream And I’m standin’     everybody’s lookin’ Everybody’s starin’        -at me- ... (nervous laugh) [Bridge] "Howdy doody... y’all waitin’ for the bus? Ah ... A little late isn’t it ... Anybody got a watch? ... We could uh see how late it is ... I got a better idea let’s find somebody with a watch              Riff B And stare at him!" [Verse 3] Well some start pickin’ up baseball bats And the others are pullin’ the pins from their hats - "I think this thing’s gone a little too far Hell I only offered him a CANDY BAR!" I said "WAIT!"        I said "What are you doin’?" They said "PRE-VERT the kid’s life is ruined!"      "Oh well then you better check what he’s chewin’   Cause I got the feelin’                           D           Riff B He’s in the middle of a bubble gum orgy!" [Verse 4] Well they’re comin’ at me and I’m backin’ away And then I hear this policeman say "Are you positive he’s the right man?" (I quick flicked the candy bar out of my hand) He says  --  "Show me."     I says "Show ya what?" He says "The CANDY BAR you degen-a-rut" And he grabs me       He grabs both my hands   Pretty easy to see ...   Which hand’s got the chocolate! [Verse 5] Well I’ve had some troubled times before But none like the trip from the candy store ...    Sympathize with the kid all right Somebody’s nice to ya probably ain’t right    I’ll grow up     I’ll learn the way   I’ll learn so that my later days’ll be     prosperous     (Chocolate covered) ...   If I don’t bite off   more than I can hide    [Outro] End riff ************************************ | h  Hammer-on | p  Pull-off ************************************
