Someone I Care About Jonathan Richman This song has two chords, A & E. I like to play them like this: A5 E5 e----------------- B----------------- G----------------- D-----7-----2----- A-----7-----2----- E-----5-----0----- Listen to the song for the rockin rhythm. Intro: A E A A E A Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with A E A Well I don't want just a girl to ball alright A E A What I want is a girl that I care about A E A Or I want nothing at all. Alright (and so on . . . ) Well I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled All I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all. Well I don't want some cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar Well I don't want a triumph in the car I don't want to make a rich girl crawl What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want no one at all Alright, listen to this now. Picture this: I'm walking with my girlfriend 28 misguided souls combined say, "We're moving in" There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much You say, "I don't care what you guys do to me, but her, DON'T TOUCH!" 'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with I don't want just a girl to ball What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all Oh alright Well I don't want a girl to fool around with no I don't want just a girl to ball no What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all. Alright gentlemen. ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
