Regretting What I Said tab by Christine Lavin

"REGRETTING WHAT I SAID TO YOU WHEN YOU CALLED ME 11:00 ON A FRIDAY
MORNING TO TELL ME THAT AT 1:00 FRIDAY AFTERNOON YOU WERE GONNA LEAVE
YOUR OFFICE, GO DOWNSTAIRS, HAIL A CAB TO GO OUT TO THE AIRPORT TO
CATCH A PLANE TO GO SKIING IN THE ALPS FOR TWO WEEKS; NOT THAT I
WANTED TO GO WITH YOU, I WASN'T ABLE TO LEAVE TOWN, I'M NOT A VERY
GOOD SKIER, I COULDN'T EXPECTYOU TO PAY MY WAY, BUT AFTER GOING OUT
WITH YOU FOR THREE YEARS, I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES: A MUSICAL APOLOGY"
(by Christine Lavin)

[Yes, that's really the title of the song.]
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[Use the tablature at the end of this file for chord fingerings
 and picking pattern.]

[spoken:] In this song, I attempt to take back everything I said while
     standing in a phone booth on the corner of 49th and 3rd.

[Intro: arpeggio C chord.]

TAB:

[This tablature isn't _exactly_ what Christine plays in any
 particular verse; it's a combination of what I thought were the
 best-sounding parts from all the verses.]
