--I'd been looking for the tabs of this wonderful song by Harlan T. Bobo, but
found none. So I tried my first attempt at transcribing and found it quite an easy
song. Chords may not be 100% right, as this is my first transcription, but it
sounds reasonably correct to me.
---Capo chords on the 6th string, picking each note, last 4 strings, starting on
the 6th string, going to the 4th and back, listen to the song and you'll get the idea ---
B F#
I saw you walkin down the street the other day
Abm E
I went to you, and you just turned away
B F#
So I called you on the phone that night,
Abm E
Your roommate says your not home But uh, I could hear you talkin in the background.
B F#
And everytime I go out I run into your friends
Abm E
And they look at me like I’m some kind of demon, Like I got horns stickin out of my head
B
Babe…
F# Abm
I know you don’t wanna tell me what you’re thinkin
E
But I’ve got news for you
---Now it's the same, but instead of the last 4 strings you pick on the first
three, starting on 1 instead of 6---
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/harlan_t_bobo/stop_crd.html ]
B F#
I can read your mind dear
Abm E
Know what you’re thinking dear
B F#
You can’t hide anything from me
Abm E
So stop…
B
Acting so strange.
B
And in quick thursts: F# Abm Bb
---Now you pick the last strings as in the start, but end thrusting the chords to
give emphasis, listen to the song to get an idea-
B F#
Now if all of your hopes and your dreams don’t work out the way you planned
Abm E
Well, I can’t take all the blame for that.
B F#
You see I honestly believe what you and I have is somethin precious
Abm E
Sometimes precious things don’t last
B F#
So don’t tell me bout love
Abm E
Cause my messy feelins they weren’t love
B F#
And you can’t hide, you can’t hide
Abm E
I feel the same as you
B F#
I can read your mind dear
Abm E
Know what you’re thinking dear
B F#
You can’t hide anything from me
Abm E
So stop…
--- B, F#, Abm and E 'till the end, ending in Abm ---
fa lala flow
Stop stop stop stop stop stop (fa lala flow) stop stop stop stop
Fa lalalala stop stop stop stop stop stop fa lalalalala stop
---Hope I got this right, thanks for your attention, corrections, comments, any
sort of feedback will be welcome; write to eslebecydonia@gmail.com Thanks! -----
