Careless Tab

by Paul Kelly


Hello everyone,
This is my first posting so I thought I would pick an easy one.
This is a great song from a great siger/songwriter.

Verse
              
How many cats in New York city

How many angels on a pin
              
How many notes in a saxophone

How many tears in a bottle of gin
              
How many times did you call my name
                                            
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in

Chorus 1
                    
I know.......I've been careless

Verse
                 
I've been wrapped up in a shell

Nothing could get through to me
          
Acted like I didn't know

I had friends and family
           
I saw worry in your eyes
                           
Didn't look like fear to me

Chorus 2
                             
I know.......I've been careless
                   
I lost my tenderness
                 
I've been careless
      
I took bad care of this

Verse
        
Like a mixture in a bowl

Like a frozen over lake
           
Like a long time faded smile

Got so hard I had to crack
               
You were there, you held the line
                                     
You're the one that brought me back

Chorus 2
                             
I know.......I've been careless
                   
I lost my tenderness
                 
I've been careless
      
I took bad care of this

Verse
              
How many cats in New York city

How many angels on a pin
              
How many notes in a saxophone

How many tears in a bottle of gin
              
How many times did you call my name
                                      
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in
              
How many stars in the milky way
                                         
How many ways can you lose a friend
