Chord/Tab song: You Don't Have to Do That

You Don't Have to Do That
John Hartford
Nobody Knows What You Do
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3(Capo 1 on sound byte)

Now why y[A]ou got to spend all that time in front of [A]the mirror?
And why you got to spend all that time trying on clo[A]thes?

You[E] don't have to do that
You don't have to do t[E]hat

You're be[A]autiful, and you'll always co[A]me through
Like Buddy Em[D]mons when he plays[D7] his steel[A] guitar

Why y[A]ou got to get all them jams, jellies, a[A]nd preserves?
And why y[D]ou got to smear them on your fac[D7]e right before yo[A]u come to bed?

Yo[E]u don't have to do that
You don't have to do [E]that

You're[A] beautiful and you'll always co[A]me through
Like Benny's g[D]oing to do after me and [D7]Mack sing the br[A]idge

Bridge:
Now, I [A]wish you wouldn't worry, and let it all hang down[A]
I wish yo[D]u wouldn't worry, that[D7] I won't be a[A]round

Instrumental:

Well your judgment gets a little strange when your looking in the mirror

There're Certain things you just can't see cause you're not a man, (and that's a good thing)
No, you don't have to do that
You don't have to do that

You're beautiful and you'll always come through,
Like Sam playing on his mandolin

Instrumental:
