INDIGO GIRLS - "mystery" Tablature

MYSTERY (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------
[The chords written down here are Amy's, more or less. She plays either
a 12-string or high-strung guitar (which is basically a 12-string with the
bigger strings removed). Some fingerings are at the end.]
[Emily's guitar is tuned DADGAD, so most of her chords actually have A and
D notes in them: G becomes G(9), A becomes A7sus4, Em becomes Em7(4), etc.
Buy the _Swamp_Ophelia_ songbook if you want Emily's chord fingerings.]
[Each chord, or pair of chords joined by hyphens, is one 6/8 measure.]

AMY'S CHORDS:
Dmaj9: x00220 G: 320033 Gm: xx0333 A7sus4: x02030
D/C#: x40232 Gmaj7/B: x20032 D7/C: x30232
C9: x32330 (actually x32333, but can _you_ play that?)
(The rest should be pretty standard.)


If you want to get that jangly 12-string kind of sound on an ordinary
6-string, put a capo at the 5th fret and transpose everything to the
key of A. Then, try using these for some of your chord fingerings:

Amaj9 D(9) A As2s4 A As2s4
x02100 x00230 x07650 - x07700 x07650 - x07700
[intro]
Amaj9 D(9) A Dm(9) A
x02100 x00230 x02220 - x03230 x02220
[intro]

Later in the song, the only suggestions I have are 32320x for G9,
and x02220 x02120 x00252 (A Amaj7 D(9)) instead of A A/G# Dmaj7/F#.
