Tom Waits
     I hope that I don’t fall in love with you
     Album: Closing Time (1973)



   Okay so yeah this is officially my first tab. 
Ill prolly have many more to follow since there are many tabs 
Id like that aren’t on this site.  Well this is an amazing song. 
But since I am very broke I cant get the Tom Waits Recording of 
this song so I was forced to tab this off of Hootie and the Blowfish’s
Live Cover. It is still great and sounds amazing.  It isn’t
completely correct but damn close. And since I used Microsoft
word its kinda gay looking but hey it works. Enjoy….

Well that’s that. I hope this works and Im sorry I couldn’t do it 
straight from the Tom Waits version but this sounds great
 and does the song justice. Thank you and goodnight.


Peace Bitches,
