	Here's some more by Tracy Chapman:

	If Not Now:

	Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one.
Follow the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that
you're two frets up. A augmentedA pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string
two frets above the capo, not the nut.
   Gmaj7Gmaj7                  D MajorD
F-----0------0--0------0--|0--0----0----2-----|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--
C#-T--1------1--1------1--|0--1----1------3---|1------1--1------1--|0--1----1--
A--A--2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--------2-|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--
E--B--3------3--3------3--|3--3----3----------|2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--
B-------------------------|-------------------|3------3--3------3--|3--3----3--
F-------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|-----------

F-----0----   This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make
C#-T----1--your promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G. Again
A--A------0remember that the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of
E--B-------the D MajorD will be a C, the B minorBm and Am, etc. In case it's still unclear,
B----------here are the actual chord forms to shape:
F----------D (x32010), B minorBm (x02210), A augmentedA (320003), F# minorF#m (022000, and G+G (133211).
Change to an F#m7F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately
thereafter. Change between G+G and A augmentedA on the bridge to the repeat.

	Hoped to finish her stuff up here, but looks like there'll be one more
posting. I'm not going to include "Behind The Wall" as it's a cappella, but
will try to throw in the rest from her first album and what I've figured of
"All That You Have Is Your Soul".
