I misunderstood Richard Thompson
I Misunderstood, by Richard Thompson, from the album Rumor and Sigh
Transcribed by phillip@princeton.edu.
The chorus has a little more going on than I've transcribed here, but
the bass line is mostly hitting a Bb. I play the riff and then a Bb on
the low E and sometimes a D on the A string as well.
Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Dm Bb C
She said, darling I'm in love with your mind
Dm Bb C
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Dm Bb C G Gsus G
Love to see you again, wish I had more time
Dm Bb C
She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
Dm Bb C
Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week
Dm Bb C G
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die
CHORUS

But I misunderstood

G C
I thought she was saying good luck

She was saying goodbye
Riff A /Bb

Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Things I try to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
She said, the thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I
CHORUS
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye

Richard plays this in B minor with a Capo on fret 3 .. which makes the lick over D and G a lot more simple.
Hope this makes sense .. thanx for the original transcription
