 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...
