	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

D              A

Em              G

A(add9)

D

Cmaj7 (x32000)

	Repeat this progression with these lyrics:

Everyday ..

Dope ..

And ... etc.

	Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
Cmaj7
    I ..
Em
    and leave ..
D
    deep ..
Cmaj7
man ..
	Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics:
I follow ...
and ..,
is ..-
fices ..

	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 ...
G                                         A
Why, ..
Bm
Why are the ..
G                             A

D(add9)

A(add9)

Bm
   no ..
G

Bm

G

A

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.
