"I Don't Mind At All" - Bourgeois Tagg From the album YoYo (1987) Transcribed by Dan Amrich - DanAmrich@aol.com This is by no means "the" way to play the song--but this is the arrangement that works for me as a mix between what I hear and what's comfortable to play. Learn the strum pattern by listening to the song. Also, I am not a good fingerpicking player and as such the fingerpicking runs are likely not accurate-- I can hear them but I can't play them--though they should give you an idea of how it's supposed to sound, and you can embellish/correct from there. :) Please send feedback if you come up with something better. -Dan The time for talking's over now, I guess it's time to E -----------------------------------------------------------| B --0------------------0-----------0-------------------------| G --9------------------9-----------9-------------------------| D --9------------------9-----------9-------------------------| A --7------------------6-----------x-------------------------| E ---------------------------------9-------------------------| let you go C#m E -----------------------------------------------------------| B -------------------------4---5---4-------------------------| G ---------------------6---------------5---------------------| D -----------------6-----6---6---6---6-----------------------| A ----------2--2/4---4---------------------------------------| E -----2/4---------------------------------------------------| But I don't E ------------------0----------------------------------------| B -------0--------0-------0----------------------------------| G -----2--------2-------2------------------------------------| D ---2--------2-------2--------------------------------------| A ----------0---0---0---0------------------------------------| E -2---2-----------------------------------------------------| no I don't mind at all E ---------------------------------------0-------------------| B -------0--------0---------0----------0---------------------| G -----2--------2---------4----------1-----------------------| D ---2--------2---------4----------2-------------------------| A ----------0---0-----2---2------2---------------------------| E -2---2-----------------------0-------0---------------------| It's important to me That I don't see you E -----0-----------------------------------------------------| B -----0-----------------------------------------------------| G -----6-----------------------------------------------------| D -----6-----------------------------------------------------| A -----4-----------------------------------------------------| E -----------------------------------------------------------| laughin' at me E ---0----\---0-----/0--/-0--\-0-----------------------------| B ---0----\---0-----/0--/-0--\-0-----------------------------| G ---9----\---6-----/9--/-11-\-9-----------------------------| D ---9----\---6-----/9--/-11-\-9-----------------------------| A ---7----\---4-----/7--/-9--\-7-----------------------------| E -----------------------------------------------------------| But I'm smart enough to know E -----0-----------------------------------------------------| B -----0-----------------------------------------------------| G -----6-----------------------------------------------------| D -----6-----------------------------------------------------| A -----4-----------------------------------------------------| E -----------------------------------------------------------| that I have to let you go Alt: you E -0-----------0---------0--------0----------|-----------0----| B -0-----------0---------0--------0----------|-----------0----| G -2-----------9---------8--------2----------|-----------4----| D -2-----------9---------8--------2----------|-----------4----| A -0-----------7---------6--------0----------|-----------2----| E -------------------------------------------|----------------| ^----------- just not sure! ---------| But I don't mind at all E ---------------------------------------0-------------------| B -------0--------0---------0----------0---------------------| G -----2--------2---------4----------1-----------------------| D ---2--------2---------4----------2-------------------------| A ----------0---0-----2---2------2---------------------------| E -2---2-----------------------0-------0---------------------| The time for talking's over now I guess it's time to let you go But I don't, no, I don't mind at all. It's getting so you never know when things are better left alone. But I don't, no, I don't mind at all. It's important to me that I don't see you laughing at me. But I'm smart enough to know that I have to let you go. But I don't mind at all. Sentimental tears will get you far as you might think they will. But I don't, no, I don't mind at all. Misery loves company but she will never foot the bill. But I don't, no, I don't mind at all. It's important to me that I don't see you laughing at me, but I'm smart enough to know that I have to let you go. But I don't mind at all. Several years ago I said goodbye to my own sanity. But I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't mind at all.
