Artist: Dinosaur Jr.
Song: I Don't Think So
This is one of my favorite songs, by an awesome yet relatively unknown band.
It can be found on the 'Without A Sound' album (1994).
The song is played in standard tuning.
To get the exact timing and rhythm, listen to the song.
This tab isn't exactly correct, but it's pretty close.

Lyrics:
In the morning
It's the last time that I saw her face
In that special way to me
Without a warnin'
She pulled every trick to name a few
What was I supposed to be
I'd like to think she cried for me
But I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
In the morning
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me
I don't think so
In the evening
I don't think it was a peaceful scene
Seemed to me a little rough
She was leavin'
But she forgot to leave a piece of me
I didn't know she was that tough
I don't know why she took me
I don't know what else to be
I'd like to think she cried for me
But I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
In the morining
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me
I don't think so
[Solo]
Is there somethin'
That I could do to make her feel a thing
I don't know what to expect
Guess there's one thing
I got left but then I could be wrong
Maybe that's the thing she wrecked
I don't know why she took me
I don't know what else to be
Hope she's diggin' bein' free
But does she cry for me
I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
But in the morning
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me
I don't know
I'd like to think she cried for me
I don't think so
