BASS RUNS are shown in the music in square brackets, e.g. [Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramBB Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramC#C# Chord diagramD MajorD]

At the end of KISS, {12th fret trebles} uses a single finger (index or middle)
to fret the 3 or 4 treble strings of which usually 3 or  maybe  4  are  played
with a sequence of down, up, downstrum, etc.


Notes
=====

1. The first part of Kiss  is  played  in  bass-strum  style,  but  I  haven't
   included the bass notes, only the chords.

2. There's no reason you have to sing Kiss with Lovers' Society, and in fact I
   expect Wes sometimes sings it on its own.

3. If anyone has a better idea for the fourth line of Lovers' Society then let
   me know.  "Finn and Esse" is merely what I thought sounded,  syllable-wise,
   like what Wes sings.  It doesn't make any sense to me in the context of the
   famous lovers and romantics mentioned in the rest of the song.   Perhaps he
   is trying to say he lacks finesse and he wishes the two parts of  the  word
   would come together.

4. Thanks to Patrick Barnett for sending this to me before I was able  to  get
   hold of the original CD.

5. Feel free to email me with any comments (see header for  email  address)
   or to request tabs for songs.  If you have a favourite  JWH  song  you'd
   like me to have a go at, let me know.   I now have the four full albums,
   "The Name Above The Title", "It Happened One Night",  "Why We Fight" and
   "Here Comes The Groom".  If I haven't got the songs,  I  could  only  do
   them if you send me an audio tape with them on.  If you could  work  out
   the lyrics, that would be a great help.  The songs  I've  tabbed/chorded
   so far are:
	From "The Name Above The Title":
		I Can Tell (When You're Telling Lies)
		Save Chord diagramA augmentedA Little Room For Me
		The People's Drug
		The Person You Are
		Long Dead Gone              } lyrics supplied by
		Backing Out                 } Alan Pulliam - thanks
	from "It Happened One Night":
		Roy Orbison Knows (The Best Man's Song)
				            - thanks to Will Vaughan & "Sen"
		Kiss/Lovers' Society
    and from "Here Comes The Groom"
		The Red Rose And The Briar  } thanks to Patrick Barnett
    and coming soon, the version not from "Here Comes The Groom" of
		When The Sun Comes Out      } thanks to Patrick again

   These are archived on the guitar tab archives,  ftp.nevada.edu  and  its
   mirror sites such as ftp.uwp.edu - you can find local  mirror  sites  by
   using a program such as "archie".   Cal Woods  &  Jim  Carson,  the  new
   maintainers of the Nevada archive have kindly placed in it a file to aid
   archie searches.  It is called "Nevada.Guitar.Archive".   You  can  find
   the guitar directory of any nearby mirror sites using:

   unix% archie -m5 -N Nevada.Guitar.Archive

              FILE -r--r--r--         80  Jun 16 09:21  Nevada.Guitar.Archive


   Wes's tabs are archived under  ? /guitar/h/john_wesley_harding

6. The FTP archive at Trinity College Dublin  (ftp.maths.tcd.ie)  has  also
   uploaded a lot of Wes songs in the directory:
	/pub/music/guitar/h/john_wesley_harding

   In addition to the songs I've worked out, there is  a  copy  of  Crystal
   Blue Persuasion, originally by Tommy  James  and  the  Chandelles  (sp )
   which appears on "The Name Above The Title".  There doesn't appear to be
   a mirror site to Trinity College Dublin.

7. Enjoy!


Regards,

Ryan Harding
