Here's my latest Lightfoot tab offering: I'm Not Supposed To Care. I
would appreciate any comments or corrections being emailed or posted, and
questions can be mailed straight to me. I've checked it out fairly well,
but it seems I usually miss something tiny. :-(
Also, this appears to have come out a bit wider that 80 columns, so if you
have the luxury of using a *really* small font, please do so, especially
to print.
Sorry this is so long. It just seemed it had to be that way. I tried to
make it as short as possible without (hopefully) making it confusing.
Enjoy!!!

(c) 1976 Moose Music
Song Notes:
----------
This song is played using a capo on the third fret. The chords are based on the
apparent key of A. This is a bit of a difficult song to tab by hand, so I
expect it won't be a snap to read immediately. I recommend printing it
out and making yourself familiar with the chord structures and then
working your way through the song. It is quite a pretty song , so take
your time and work the whole thing out!!!
THE CHORDS:
