I Hope That I Don't tab by Tom Waits

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You  -  Tom Waits
 from the album 'Closing Time' (1973).

 This was recently requested, so here it goes. It's not 100% accurate, but this should get you going. The lyrics were already downloaded by Johan Kristian Sveen <johans@ifi.uio.no in the 'nevada archives', but I am sure he doesn't mind me using it here ;-). However, I adapted some of the chords.

 Tabbed by Koen van der Drift <v.d.drift@ams.chem.ruu.nl.

 This fingerpicking pattern is continued through the whole song with some small
 variations, like one or two extra notes, or 'connecting bass notes'.
 In the chorus, the chords change, but the pattern stays roughly the same, except for the 'turnaround'.


 chords during chorus:

  F       C        G       C        F       C        F       F/G

  This is the Tom Waits's song called 'I hope that I don't fall in
love with you', which I tabbed from the recording 'The Early Years'.
I think it is a faithfull transcription, at least for the beginning
of the song (I didn't tabbed all the variations that occur after),
and for possible misprints.

I didn't write all the lyrics, because they have already been sent to
this group. (I tabbed some others Tom Waits songs. Does it interest
anyone . I prefer answers by e-mail).
