Guitar Tab
"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.]

particular verse; it's a combination of what I thought were the
best-sounding parts from all the verses.]
