NOBODY CARES FOR ME by Mississippi John Hurt
tablature by Mark T. Verhaar
Here's a transcription of Mississippi John Hurts 'Nobody cares for me'
as can be heard on the CD Rounder 1082, recorded in Annapoli, Maryland,
April 2-4, 1963.
It is a simple 16 measure Waltz in D played. (In a tempo of 150 b.p.m. it
sounds quit oke)
I've used pretty standard notation, so I quess it doesn't require much
explanation. ( the '/' stands for slide).
Two quitar sections are described: one which is used behind the verses and
a variation of it used as an instrumental break.
Happy picking,

Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining
bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
I'm coming home, no more to roam
darling I'm coming home
I'm coming home, no more to roam
darling I'm coming home
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining
bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove
