Subject: Chords: Beekeeper’s Blues (Electric Guitar) by Susanna Hoffs
Beekeeper’s Blues
(S. Hoffs/D. Baerwald/D. Kitay)
Vocal/Electric Guitar (yes, the Rickenbacker): Susanna Hoffs
From Susanna Hoffs self-titled album released in 1996.
(London Records 422 828 820 2)
Performed on electric guitar and interpreted from live performance by
Susanna Hoffs. This is my own interpretation based on the viewing of Ms.
Hoffs in concert. There is a capo on the 5th fret. All chords are listed
with this capo in place.
If you have anything to add to this or any other Susanna Hoffs song
tabs (or Bangles tabs that aren’t listed in OLGA) please send them to me.
