NEIGHBORHOOD (Tift Merritt)
---------------------------
* Actually in F; capo 8.
* Each chord is one measure, but chords joined with hyphens
  (e.g., G - D) are one measure TOTAL.
* Before the A chords in the verse, hammer-on from 0 to 2 on the G and D strings
  (x0002x -> x0222x); for the D's, hammer-on on the G string (x0003x -> x0023x).
* It looks like Tift slips in a quick D before the G's in the chorus.
* Only the first chorus has an extra measure of A at the end.

[intro]

A                    D     A                 D
  I saw you with somebody,   that you don't love
A                       D   A                           D
  You like to show her off,   you like to think highly of
A                            D    A                       D
  The easy mistake that you made,   she's a friend of a friend
A                       D    A               D
  A pretty fight in a dress,   just a goodbye again

G     -     D          A      G     -     D          A
  Baby, you can't run 'round;   honey, it don't look good
G     -     D          A                  G     -     D            A    (A)
  Baby, you can't run 'round with just anybody in the neighborhood

Someone else's dishes, someone else's window
Someone else's engine, underneath someone else's radio
I know what they told you, 'cause I've seen the way that they do
I'm sick of the hard way, I'm gonna walk right up to you, tell you honey

Baby, you can't run 'round;  honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run 'round with just anybody in the neighborhood

Em                     Bm     Em                    Bm
  Go on and take my midnight;   go on, and take it down
Em                    Bm                  A            A
  Go on and give it away, baby, to the stranger you are living for
A              A                G - D   A   G-D  A  G-D  A  G-D  A
  What stranger are you living for now [guitar solo]

Baby, you can't run 'round;  honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run 'round with just anybody in the neighborhood

Baby, you can't run 'round;  honey, it don't look good
Baby, you can't run 'round with just anybody in the neighborhood

G - D   A    G - D   A    G - D   A.
[guitar ending]
