Tracy Chapman

Text File

From: ihateuw@u.washington.edu (David Wong) For My Lover: I use "^" for hammer-on, and the "d" and "u" to indicate downaward and upward strums. Here's the intro: Em G D Cmaj7 D u D u D u D u e-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|2---2---2---0---------| B--T--0---0-----------0---0-----------|3---3---3---0---------| G--A--0---0-----------0---0-----------|2---2---2---0---------| D--B--2---2-------0---0---0-------0---|0---0---0---2---------| A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------| E-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|----------------------| The intro is repeated, and then: Em G Two weeks in a Virginia jail D A For my lover, for my lover. Em G Twenty thousand dollar bail D A For my lover, for my lover.--- C And everybody thinks A(add9) (x02420) I'm the fool. D They don't get---any C love from you. Em Things we won't do for love--- A(add9) Em I'd climb a mountain if I had to, G risk my life so I could have you--- D you- you- you- you... Cmaj7 (x32000) you- you -you -you -you. Repeat this progression with these lyrics: Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed for my lover, for my lover. Dope me up and I tell them lies for my lover, for my lover.--- And everybody thinks... etc. Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for: Cmaj7 I follow my heart Em and leave my head to ponder D deep in this love--- no Cmaj7 man can shake. Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics: I follow my heart and leave my mind to wonder, is this love worth- the sacri- fices I make? Now repeat the from the "Two weeks in a Virginia jail" verse. Why?: The chords used in this are Bm (x24432), G (320003), A (x02220), D(add9) (xx0230), and A(add9) (x02420). The intro is merely alternating between Bm and G, and adding hammers-on. In the case of the Bm hammer-on the three fingers other than the one barring at the second fret. With the G hammer on the pointer finger. After that: Bm Why do the babies starve, there's enough food to feed the world? G A Why, when there's so many of us are there people still alone? Bm Why are the missiles called peacekeepers, when they're aimed to kill? G A Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home? D(add9) Love is hate A(add9) war is peace, Bm no is yes,- G we're all free.---- But, some- Bm body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon. Amidst G all these questions and contradictions there're A some who seek the truth. Tell me... Then repeat. She's Got Her Ticket: Chords are C, G and Am. Mountains O' Things Chords in this one are Am, Dm, F and G. All That You Have Is Your Soul: Basic fingerpicking pattern embellished with hammers-on, changing between A, E, D, and D(add9) (xx0230). I think that she might play this capoed at the fifth fret, but am not sure. The version I do is without a capo. Hammer-on A "D" on the A chord pattern, A "C" on the E, A "G" on the D, and A "D" on the D(add9). Coming next: April Come She Will by Simon & Garfunkel. # LEWIS CARROLL 1832-1898 ## __________________________ # # | | He thought he saw a Rattlesnake # | David V.
