The song with the lyrics goes like this:
[Intro]
Dm F Bb F
[Verse 1]
Dm F
I know she said it's alright
Bb F
But you can make it up next time
Dm F
I know she said it's not right
Bb F
There ain't no use in Lying
Dm F
Maybe she thinks I know something
Bb F
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine
Dm F
Maybe she knows something I don't I'm so,
Bb B5 C5
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I know she loves the sunrise
Bb F
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
Dm F
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Bb F
Well it might not work because of other ties
Dm F
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah,
Bb
I wouldn't want to break em
Dm F
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Bb B5 C5
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
[Interlude]

Then he starts to sing:

um, just one little thing if you wanna play it exactly how Johnson plays it. Bb is played barred at the 6th fret like this
E-6
B-6
G-7
D-8
A-8
E-6
they are the same note but thats how he actually plays it and i think it makes it a bit easier to play. Thanx for a great tab, peace

Good tab, but I'd like to see someone tab out all of the little fills and end solo
