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---------|

A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------|

The intro is repeated, and then:
Em G

Repeat this progression with these lyrics:

Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
Cmaj7
I ..
Em
and leave ..
D

Cmaj7

Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics:
I follow ...
and ..,

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
Why is a ..
D(add9)
Love ..
A(add9)
war ...,
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.
