INDIGO GIRLS - "watershed" Tablature

WATERSHED (Emily Saliers)
-------------------------
[Emily fingerpicks most of the song except for the bridge and possibly the
last chorus; her guitar has the low E tuned down to D. Amy strums all the
chords, and I don't know if her guitar has the low E tuned down.]
[Do NOT rely on the chord names in the verse and chorus; refer to the tabla-
ture for fingerings. The strummed chords in the bridge are: Bm7(4)=x20230;
E7=x20130; C(9)=x32033; G=x20033; A7=x02020; A7sus4=x02030.]
[As written, each chord is half a measure, except pairs of chords joined by
hyphens are a half-measure _total_.]
