Be Careful Of My Heart - Tracy Chapman Beautiful song and a sophisticated 4 chord trick!

A ------------------3-----2-3-3-----2-3-3-------| E ----------------------------------------------| Chords (You can hear she plays the open high 'e' on the album track. I recommend using your thumb for the low F.) ^ Dm F C G e -1---0--0--3-| B -3---1--1--3-| G -2---2--0--0-| D -0---3--2--0-| A -x---3--3--2-| E -x---1--x--3-| You and your sweet smile You and all you tantalising ways You and your honey lips You and all the sweet things that they say You and your wild wild ways One day you just up and walked away Oh you left me hurting But I can forgive you for that now You taught me something Something it took me have my life to learn When you give all yourself away Just tell them to be careful of your heart

Where you see a '(B)' you can hear that she plays the C chord and drops the low C to a B, then back up. This is massively reinforced by the bass, but can be easily enough replicated for playing on a solo acoustic. This has been my first tab and I transcribed it from ear, so it's open to debate. I think it's fairly accurate, I hope it helps. Good luck and thank you.
