Here's some more by Tracy Chapman:
If Not Now:
Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one.
Follow the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that
you're two frets up. A pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string
two frets above the capo, not the nut.
Gmaj7 D
F-----0------0--0------0--|0--0----0----2-----|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--
C#-T--1------1--1------1--|0--1----1------3---|1------1--1------1--|0--1----1--
A--A--2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--------2-|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--
E--B--3------3--3------3--|3--3----3----------|2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--
B-------------------------|-------------------|3------3--3------3--|3--3----3--
F-------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|-----------
F-----0---- This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make
C#-T----1--your promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G. Again
A--A------0remember that the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of
E--B-------the D will be a C, the Bm and Am, etc. In case it's still unclear,
B----------here are the actual chord forms to shape:
F----------D (x32010), Bm (x02210), A (320003), F#m (022000, and G (133211).
Change to an F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately
thereafter. Change between G and A on the bridge to the repeat.
Hoped to finish her stuff up here, but looks like there'll be one more
posting. I'm not going to include "Behind The Wall" as it's a cappella, but
will try to throw in the rest from her first album and what I've figured of
"All That You Have Is Your Soul".

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TRACY CHAPMAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
