Don't look at me
----------------

By Melissa Etheridge. From the movie 'Welcome home Roxy Carmichael'.
Lyrics to the first verse from Maarten van Egmond's 'MLE unreleased' page
(coz I didn't get to the 'record' button in time!).

Since this is not on a ME album, I've tabbed out the melody to the vocal,
so you don't have to go to the video store before you can sing it.


Time sig 4/4, 96 beats per minute.

Add it up, count me out I'm taking a different route

    So I'll be on my way

Em                   C       D
