Song: You and the Mona Lisa
by:   Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal
CD:   A Few Small Repairs
From: Andrew Lyon

The song starts in the key of G, and modulates up a minor third to the key
of Bb for the chorus.

I have transcribed this for three guitars;

1) The open tuning of C7/9 as follows;
E (022100@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G C (x32010@1)name="chord_022100@1">E

Em (022000@1)	- xx2020		Bb- (x1333x@1)xxx321
Dsus2/sus4	- xxx020		Eb- (x43121@3)xxx876
C (x32010@1)- xx2000		Gm7	- xx3323
Bm (x24432@1)- xx0422		F- (133211@1)xxx555


2) An altered tuning where the 6th string is tuned up to G;
G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022100@1">E

Em (022000@1)- 079xxx		Bb6 (x15xxx@1)- 013xxx
Dsus4 (xx0233@1)- 057xxx		Eb (x43121@3)- 068xxx
C (x32010@1)- 035xxx		Gm7 (no 3rd)- 053xxx
Bm7(no (x20202@1)3rd)- 224xxx 		F (133211@1)	- 233xxx


3)  Standard tuning.

Dsus2- (xx0230@1)xx0230
