NOTES:
-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I
was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.

MI LA DO#m
She came all the way from America
LA SIsus SI
Had a blind date with destiny
MI LA DO#m
And the sound of Te Awamutu
SIsus SI
Had a truly sacred ring
LA MI
Now her parents are divorced
SOL# LA
And her friend's committing suicide
SI MI
I could not escape
LA
A plea from the heart
RE SI
You know what it means to me
MI
She said don't walk away
LA
I'm down on my knees
RE SI
So please don't be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
No, I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
To walk out the door
RE SI DO#m
You know what it means to me
LA DO#m
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
LA DO#m
I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me)
LA SI
Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know
I could not escape
You're down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn't wait for a chance
To walk out the door
Mean ...
You know what it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means

NOTES:
-- to play this the way it was originally played, all chords on the
verses are bar chords: Em on the 7th fret, A on the 5th fret, and
C on the 8th fret.
-- in the tab of the Richard Thompson solo, the notation "11^" means to
play the 11th fret but bend the note up (not necessarily all the way up
to the tone of the 12th fret--just a quick, ornamental bend. you know,
Thompson is famous for this kind of thing.)
