Gorgeous song and pretty straight forward to play. Strumming pattern isn't hard to pick
up after listening to it.
Capo 5
(I think he plays it capo 5 on B-sides and Rarities but capo 7 live. So whatever sounds
right to you.)
[Intro]
C Am7 Gsus4/E C x2
[Verse]
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
Please pick me up on my long walk back home
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
Give me something to eat, for I’m weak to my bones,
Am7 Em F C
Hold me tight in your arms, give me glimmers of hope
[Chorus]
Am7 Em F G
Do not love me though
Am7 Em F G
Do not love me though
Am7 Em F G
Do not love me though

[Verse]
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
Let me lay in your bed, talk of things you don’t know
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
Take the clothes from my back, and make love to me slow
Am7 Em F C
and you’re free to think of all you feel and let go
[Chorus]
Am7 Em F G
Do not tell me though
Am7 Em F G
Do not tell me though
Am7 Em F G
Do not tell me though
C
[Verse]
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
Introduce me to friends, make excuses for me

I will tug on your coat when I’m ready to leave
Am7 Em F C
Please don’t let me stop you from thinking you are free
[Chorus]
Am7 Em F C G (The C is quick and just in there once)
Don’t fall for me
Am7 Em F G
Don’t fall for me
Am7 Em F G
Do not fall for me
C
[Verse]
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
And when I get tired and eventually leave
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
I’ll get back on the road and I’ll leave you in peace.
Am7 Em F C
And I won’t even look back as the tears hit your cheek
[Chorus]
Am7 Em F G
Please don’t look at me
Am7 Em F G
Do not look at me
Am7 Em F G
Don’t look at me
C Am7 Gsus4/E C
