Because of a Dancer
 This is again a joint effort by Charlie Woodward and me.
 I sent him a rough sketch, he found at least 2 downright
 wrong chords, I added a few extra bass notes to the ones
 suggested by Charlie. Thanks, Charlie, that was fun.

 "Because of a Dancer" is on Rough Sketches, Folk Era cd (97).
 John plays it in the key of Em with a capo on the 7th fret,
 so it?s really in Bm.

     G4/C

    E-------3----------------
    B-1----------------------  this is the "4" part
    G------------------------
    D------------------------
    A-------3---------------- this is the "/C" part. Instead of the "normal"
    E------------------------          bass note "G" (the root) or the other
                                                 normal bass notes for theG-chord,
                                                 which are "B" or "D", a "C"
                                                 is played here.
                                                 I use this way of indicating bass notes
                                                 also for "normal" bass notes when they?re
                                                 part of a bass run.
