I'm Not the Guy -Dan Bern

transcribed by Kai Ostwald

Standard or 1/2 step down tuning??? Unsure!
try it with a harmonica in the key of C

Chords:
C :032010
G :320033
Am:002210
F :133211 (barred)

Intro- (you should "palm" these chords)
sticcato (really quick and bold)

C x8, G x8, Am x8, F x4, G x4

C       G     Am      Em
You can categorize me
F                    
Lump me with the others
   G                            C         
If that's the way you wanna play
        G                     Am
You can say that the way it's been
   F
Is exactly 
    G                     C
The way that it's gotta be
                       G
And I'll make you feel right
Am                Em
If you gotta feel right
     F                         G
Well if you're willing to live truthfully I think you'll see
      Am
That, Babe, I'm not the guy who hurt you 
F          G  C
Many years ago

G           Am
I'm not the guy
Em          G
I'm not the guy
F           C
I'm not the guy

(do intro again!)


Babe, what are you seeing?
When you look in my eyes
Maybe someone from a magazine
Is that someone who hurt you?
You don't gotta explain it
I used to read that magazine myself
But last night in the kitchen, yeah
I cancelled my subscription, yeah
And maybe you'll believe me, Babe
That you don't need to carry yours
Around anymore

'Cause I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy

c			     g
I'm not the guy who made you crawl into the shell
Am			       Em
I'm not the guy who threw your heart against the wall
F                            G  
I'm not the guy who made you feel like all you did was lost
    Am                                     F              G       C
I'm not the guy who loved you, Babe, and kept his fingers crossed


I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy

I'm not the guy who tried to hide his wedding ring
I'm not the guy who disappeared after the spring
I'm not the guy who took care of you for a weekend stay
I'm not the guy who loved you babe, and took his love away

I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
I'm not the guy
