The Name:		John Wesley Harding

The Title:		SAVE ALITTLE (x02220@1)ROOM FOR ME
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NB: For the progression of chords in the main part of song and  "Dylanish bit"
    as I call it to sound right, you should use the chord fingerings described
    at the end, especially Em7, Cmaj7 and Amsus2.

Notes:
~~~~~~
     1. The chords with dots after them are only played briefly as they are
	transitional chords.

     2. If you don't know what I mean by the "Arabian" or "Dylanish"  bits,
	just play along to the album and find out which  bits  match  which
	chords.  The rhythm with which the chord  changes  and  vocals  fit
	together needs to be learnt by listening to the song (which  is  on
	the album "The Name Above The Title" in case you didn't know),  and
	the strumming rhythm, too, which is pretty consistent throughout.

     3. You should soon get used to the main chord progression (as  in  the
	"Dylanish bit") and it will become second nature.   What afabulous (x02210@1)	harmonic progression it is!  You can spot a (x02210@1)progression  of  notes
	within the chords which matches the bassline  (G F# (244322@1)name="chord_022100@1">E D (xx0232@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C B (x2444x@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A DG). (xx0232@1)
     4. The chord shapes below are the ones I'd recommend.   The Em7, Cmaj7
	and Amsus2 chords should be fingered the same as the  normal  chord
	of the same key  except  that  the  appropriate  finger  should  be
	removed.

     5. Finally, the FADE OUT!  Unless you're recording it, you can't  fade
	out, so either leave off the whole thing or  do  it  (or  something
	similar) and improvise an ending.   You should have the feel of the
	song well enough by then to improvise something, but I wish I could
	fade myself out gradually - that rhythm and chord progression  just
	seem to want to continue for ever, and to interupt  the  inexorable
	flow just doesn't seem quite right.  (It's so good I even  come  up
	with long words for it).
