THOMPSON RICHARD - "I Misunderstood" Tablature

Official THOMPSON RICHARD Tablature & Sheet Music »

I Misunderstood, by Richard Thompson, from the album Rumor and Sigh
Transcribed by phillip@princeton.edu.
The chorus has a little more going on than I've transcribed here, but
the bass line is mostly hitting a Bb. I play the riff and then a Bb on
the low E and sometimes a D on the A string as well.

Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Dm Bb C
She said, darling I'm in love with your mind
Dm Bb C
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Dm Bb C G Gsus G
Love to see you again, wish I had more time

She was laughing as she brushed my cheek

Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week

Things I try to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
She said, the thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I

CHORUS

She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
