ok, here's the last one. it's probably my favorite one, but i can't get
it to sound like it does on the album. i'm pretty sure the chords are
close, but something is missing. it might be that i don't have any
effects;
a little chorus and delay may be what what you need to make it sound just
right. this is as close as i can get.

divorce song
------------
the main theme is just variations of these crds (i think). the B is the
one that sounds a little funny. like usual, liz only plays 2 or 3 notes
are
for each crd.
i might be some notes in between the chords, i can't quite tell.

C# Ab B Ab
e----------------------------4--
B---------6------------------4--
G-----------6----5---2-----5---- or some variation thereof. i can't
D-------6--------6---2-----6---- remember if the third crd is a B or a C.
A-------4----------------6------ it might be played on the 3rd fret instead
E------------------------4------ of the 2nd.

C# = A shape barre crd at 4th fret
Ab = E shape barre crd at 4th fret
B = A shape barre crd at 2nd fret (maybe 3rd?)

this theme is played thru all the verses.

for the chorus part...(i don't remember if the 1st crd is F# or F#m)

F#(m?) C# G Ab G Ab
boxed it up and buried it in the ground... (3x)

e--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------6--------------------------------
D-------4--strum-a------6--6-----------------------------
A-------4--couple----------4--0---5/6--6--66--5/6--6--6--
E-------2--times--------------0---3/4--4--44--3/4--4--4--
* **

F#(m?) C# G Ab G Ab
burned it up and thrown it away...

* = slide up a fret
**= pick down then up really fast


and for the harmonica break at the end, the crds are just
F#(m?) Ab C# or some combination of crds used above.

sorry this was kinda vague, but play it along w/ the cd and it'll become
obvious. lemme know if you come up with anything better...

whew, that's it for now...
