Subject: last liz phair tab for now

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 ...(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 ...
 
* = 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...
