Artist: Dinosaur Jr.
Song: I Don't Think So
Album: Without A Sound (1994)
This song is played in standard tuning with a capo on the 5th fret.
I got an email from someone (sorry, I don't remember your name) that
clued me in to the way J. Mascis uses the capo. So thanks to that man indeed. The tab
was written with respect to the 5th fret capo. Enjoy.

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
