JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP
Tabbed by Jim Bauer ([email protected])
NOTE: When I did this tab I didn't have time to figure

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. :)

The romance always seems to end
chorus1:

A B
But in the morning there always seems to be some kind of fight
bridge:

verse:
E A B
Well women seem to be so clever
E A B
I love all the jokes that they tell
E A B
Like my last boyfriend really hurt me in bed
E (tacet) riff2

verse: (play riff1 alone)

E A B
They don't blabbermouth just for show
E A B
Fifty percent of their charm is illusion
