WOMEN SEEM
JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP
Tabbed by Jim Bauer ([email protected])
NOTE: When I did this tab I didn’t have time to figure
out the riff that follows under the rythm, nor the riff
after the verse tacet. I’ll post it as soon as I can in
a corrected version, unless someone beats me to it, of
course. 🙂
intro: E A B x2
verse:
E A B
Women seem to like me
E A B
They seem to like what I have to say
E A B
When they see me out in public
E A B
Women seem to look my way
E A B
Women seem to treat me so gracious
E A B
They sing me to sleep with a song
E A B
But there always seems to be a problem

Women don’t seem to like me long

The romance always seems to end

E A B
Like my last boyfriend really hurt me in bed
E (tacet) riff2
Hey but you seem to fit so well
