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.
