From: Glen Norman Pavan
artist: Ugly Kid Joe
title: «Busy Bee»
album: America’s Least Wanted
key: E/c#
tuning: ha ha ha… now I’m well aware that when ppl try and tab for a
band who tune down their guitars, they still call the 3rd fret for
example on a string tuned Eb as being G and not the note they’re playing,
Gb. Well, as it is one of my biggest pet peeves, I’ve decided that I’m
going to depict the note played, and you can decide on how you want to
tune your instrument. Bear in mind, this song incorporates
the Eb HEAVILY… so, tune down, or move up 11/12 of an octave 🙂
intro:
Everybody’s alright with me (Eb)
Possibly you’ll disagree (Ab)
(Eb) (Bb)
(Ab) Busy bee watch the world go by
verse:
(Eb) Everybody’s alright with me
(Eb) Cause that’s the way I choose to be (Ab)
(Eb) Everybody’s on my mind
(Bb) Can’t sit aside and watch this
(Ab)world go by, that ain’t me.
chorus:
(Eb) (Bb)
(Ab) Busy bee watch the world go by
(Eb) (Bb)
(Ab) Busy be watch the world go by
(Eb) Yeah (Bb) (Ab)
second verse:
Now everybody does their time
Those people walk in crooked lines
Everybody’s got their choice
But often, we don’t use our voice
repeat chorus
bridge:
(Ab)Yeah, busy bee watch the world (Bb) go by
(Ab) How could you be (C) so (Ab)blind
(Bb) some people they just (Ab) ain’t satisfied
(Eb) (Bb) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (Ab)
repeat bridge during guitar solo
third verse:
I always hear the schoolbell ring
Let the children dance and sing
Just let us find what’s been lost
So many people get turned and tossed away
repeat chorus
second guitar solo:
(Eb) (Bb) (Ab) repeat 3 times
outro:
(Bb)World goes (Ab)by repeat twice
(Eb)Watch the (Bb)world go (Ab)by repeat 3 times
well, there you go… questions, comments, feedback are well appreciated

-I’m here, I’m queer, I play 5 string bass
and, yes, I am too lazy to just tune down half a step! 🙂
