Verhaar) Subject: TAB:'Nobody cares for me' by Mississippi John Hurt 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.
