"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.

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.
