Tom: C
An attempt to improve my chords version of this song.
Not at all perfect, but enough to play something very similar to
the recording.
Fret numbers are referred to a gtr capoed at the 5th fret.
Chord names are the true ones (actually you play the C with a G
fingering and so on). I know it's stupid but this the way it came out.
This the little solo at the beginning (NOT the slide gtr. part)

During the verses I fingerpick something like:

You should try and blend together the two parts (arpeggio & solo);
that's not impossible (I do it), but it's difficult and boring to
tab out.
C
I don't want nobody better off alone
F
I'm sworn to independence
C
My heart is made of stone
G C
But your breaking on thru there's something about you
C
I've been tapping my toes to the way you talk
F C
I've been singing along when I watch the way you walk
G C
I've got to do something about you
G F
I got this place of mine it's nice and quiet
C
And I like it fine
G
I work real hard got no time for you
I've whiskeyed up my coffee cup
F C
I'm sitting here trying not to call you up
G
And it getting to where I don't know what to do
G7 C
Something bout you
SOLO
Dm C
There something about you like distance thunder
Dm C
I can't say I ain't been warned
Dm C
Even if there is no shelter to crawl under
D G
Heavens gonna save me from this storm
C
There's something about you babe I can't shake
F C
There's something about you that's been keeping me awake
G C
The whole night thru something about you
G F
I got this life of mine it's nice and quiet
C
And I like it fine
G
I work real hard got no time for you
I've whiskeyed up my coffee cup
F C
I'm sitting here trying not to call you up
G
And it getting to where I don't know what to do
G7 C
Something bout you
That's all, folks.
I hope it helps.
