NOBODY CARES FOR ME by Mississippi John Hurt
tablature by Mark T. Verhaar
Here`s a transcription of Mississippi John Hurts `Nobody cares for me`
as can be heard on the CD Rounder 1082, recorded in Annapoli, Maryland,
April 2-4, 1963.
It is a simple 16 measure Waltz in D played. (In a tempo of 150 b.p.m. it
sounds quit oke)
I`ve used pretty standard notation, so I quess it doesn`t require much
explanation. ( the `/` stands for slide).
Two quitar sections are described: one which is used behind the verses and
a variation of it used as an instrumental break.
Happy picking,

Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining
bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn`t true, I`ll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
I`m coming home, no more to roam
darling I`m coming home
I`m coming home, no more to roam
darling I`m coming home
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining
bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn`t true, I`ll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove
