{c:chorus}
[Em]Two weeks in a Vir[G]ginia jail
[D]For my lover, f[A]or my lover.
[Em]Twenty thousand 	[G]dollar bail
[D]For my lover, [A]for my lover....
[C]And everybody thinks
[Aadd9]I'm the fool. (x02420)
[D]They don't get
any [C]love from you.
[Em]Things we won't do for love...[Aadd9]
[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]yo, you, you, you, you.  (x32000)
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.
[Cmaj7]I follow my heart
[Em]and leave my head to ponder
[D]deep in this love
no [Cmaj7]man can shake.
I follow my heart
and leave my mind to wonder,
is this love worth,
the sacrifices I make?
{c:(chorus)}
ny
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.
