   The committee are emotional big spenders at the Lovers' Society
 Dm               G7            C               Cmaj7    Am
   They've always got a quorum --- they love to love  to always agree
        Dm                 G7                 C        Em     F      C
   But this is the lovers' famous forum and they've excluded cynical me
         F           Em       Dm
   They say it's paranoia and I've got to pay time
           F            Em            G
   But I think it's paranormal that they're so blatant... They're so blatant!

 F                      G                C      Em       F      C
   'Cause it sure felt cold and lonely, suckin' my thumb in the annexe.
    F                 Em       Dm
   You should see the archives on the shelf,
          F           Em         G
   Proves every lover just loves him or herself,
                                          G7
   Him or herself, him or herself, Woah!

   I'm vaguely bitter, 'cause they've written me

   Out of the text of the Lovers' Society
   C          Am      C       Am

 BASS RUNS are shown in the music in square brackets, e.g. [A B C C# D]
 
 At the end of KISS, {12th fret trebles} uses a single finger (index or middle)
 to fret the 3 or 4 treble strings of which usually 3 or  maybe  4  are  played
 with a sequence of down, up, downstrum, etc.
 
 
 Notes
 =====
 
 1. The first part of Kiss  is  played  in  bass-strum  style,  but  I  haven't
    included the bass notes, only the chords.
 
 2. There's no reason you have to sing Kiss with Lovers' Society, and in fact I
    expect Wes sometimes sings it on its own.
 
 3. If anyone has a better idea for the fourth line of Lovers' Society then let
    me know.  "Finn and Esse" is merely what I thought sounded,  syllable-wise,
    like what Wes sings.  It doesn't make any sense to me in the context of the
    famous lovers and romantics mentioned in the rest of the song.   Perhaps he
    is trying to say he lacks finesse and he wishes the two parts of  the  word
    would come together.
 
 4. Thanks to Patrick Barnett for sending this to me before I was able  to  get
    hold of the original CD.
 
 5. Feel free to email me with any comments (see header for  email  address)
    or to request tabs for songs.  If you have a favourite  JWH  song  you'd
    like me to have a go at, let me know.   I now have the four full albums,
    "The Name Above The Title", "It Happened One Night",  "Why We Fight" and
    "Here Comes The Groom".  If I haven't got the songs,  I  could  only  do
    them if you send me an audio tape with them on.  If you could  work  out
    the lyrics, that would be a great help.  The songs  I've  tabbed/chorded
    so far are:
 	From "The Name Above The Title":
 		I Can Tell (When You're Telling Lies)
 		Save A Little Room For Me
 		The People's Drug
 		The Person You Are
 		Long Dead Gone              } lyrics supplied by 
 		Backing Out                 } Alan Pulliam - thanks
 	from "It Happened One Night":
 		Roy Orbison Knows (The Best Man's Song)
 				            - thanks to Will Vaughan & "Sen"
 		Kiss/Lovers' Society
     and from "Here Comes The Groom"
 		The Red Rose And The Briar  } thanks to Patrick Barnett
     and coming soon, the version not from "Here Comes The Groom" of
 		When The Sun Comes Out      } thanks to Patrick again

    Wes's tabs are archived under ???/guitar/h/john_wesley_harding
 
 6. The FTP archive at Trinity College Dublin  (ftp.maths.tcd.ie)  has  also
    uploaded a lot of Wes songs in the directory:
 	/pub/music/guitar/h/john_wesley_harding
 
    In addition to the songs I've worked out, there is  a  copy  of  Crystal
    Blue Persuasion, originally by Tommy  James  and  the  Chandelles  (sp?)
    which appears on "The Name Above The Title".  There doesn't appear to be
    a mirror site to Trinity College Dublin.
 
 7. Enjoy!
