Monterrey Honey (Cotton Mather cover)
I heard Nicole Atkins performing this at Johnny Brendas in Philadelphia.
It was a fantastic night... The concert was sold out and I was stuck in the
rain until Irina Yalkowsky stepped outside to have a smoke... Nicole's
version is just beautiful and I was surprised that there were no tabs for this song.
I don't usually do this so I am sure this version is full of mistakes but you should
get the idea... besides I refuse to try to transcribe anything else that was
performed that night -
Irina is just too good of a guitar player for me to attempt that!
Cheers,
Victor Schinazi

I wish I had that one back 'cause I'd tell her yes like nobody else could

Gone broke in time with our money

I gave it all to my Monterrey honey

And learned about the great temptations
(G) (A)
I'm lost where no one can find me
(D) (F#)
I think of her and my future's behind me
(G) (A) (G) (D)
So now I'm back to join the great parade
(D) (A)
She asked me aren't you done yet
(Bm) (F#)
And then broke my heart with her last cigarette
(G) (Gm) (D)
There are some things a man tries so hard to forget
(A) (G) (D)
Like that face that she made when I knew things had changed

Now she's gone
(G) (A) (G) (A)
I've marched on to some secret song that can't drown out her name
(G) (A)
Gone broke in time with our money

I gave it all to my Monterrey honey

I dream of her and my future's behind me

So now I'm back to join the great parade
