"My Baby Just Cares For Me"
Nina Simone
Album - Little Girl Blue
Thanks to eyebright for “the basic jazz style chords for the song.”
They did the heavy lifting posting these chords in a comment on another version of this song.
All I did was submit it as an official tab adding chords throughout the song.
I was tired of scrolling through a Word doc on my laptop with the chords.
I think it is mostly accurate. Not certain about the end of Verse 4.
I play it on bass and it sounds good.
Post corrections and changes in comments and I will try adjust accordingly.
