Honest Man Acoustic

Honest Man -- Fantastic Negrito

It's about time Fantastic Negrito (a.k.a. Xavier Dphrepaulezz) made his Ultimate Guitar debut. "Honest Man" is
the theme song of the Amazon original "Hand of God." This is a tab of the original version of the song (solo 
acoustic).

/*
Style notes:  

This piece is all about the style, baby. Play it acoustic, no pick. Strum with your thumb for the Pre-chorus
and other soft parts. For riffs, accents, and anything you want loud, strike down with the nails of your 
fingers.

Speaking of which, keep an eye out for the ^ accent. Strike down hard and quickly mute the strings. This 
detail really brings the song together!

There are a lot of (probably improvised) variations, mainly in the chorus. I've tried to present them all; 
think of them as options to pick and choose from, not a formula to follow exactly.

[Repeat Intro]

[Verse 2]

I'm alone again. I'm empty black and very cynical.
I can't get enough, no, my condition is critical.
Deep dark lover momma sure got enough to eat when I'm not alone cryin'.
Wandering murdering. I'll rip your heart out with my pretty smile.
