NOTES:
I stumbled upon this song serendipitously when searching for Nick Drake?s song of the same name. No weird
tunings or funky chords with John Prine - just three simple chords with the thumb playing the alternating
bass notes throughout.
The verse has exactly the same chords as the intro, although the picking pattern is a bit simpler. I?m not
sure I?ve got the pattern exactly as John Prine plays it in the verse but I would suggest it?s best to mix
it up a bit anyway.
Let me know if you have any suggestions and I will be happy to make corrections.

Do you like me? Well I hope you do,

?Cause if you like me, then I think I'm gonna have to like you too.
G D
We'll share our things, and have some fun,
A D
Then we'll say goodbye and go back home when the day is done.

If you tell me, I'll tell you too,

We'll keep it to ourselves, we won't hurt no one

We'll carve our names, on a tree
A D
Then we'll burn it down so no one in the world will see.

And we'll make love, while we watch the flame
A D
Then we'll walk away as if we never had no shame.
G D
Now we must hide, to be alone
A D
And we can't say our sweet things on the telephone.
G D
If we can't stop, what we've begun,
A D
We should say goodbye and go back home when the day is done.

Do you still like me? Well I hope you do.
