Subject: CRD/quasi-TAB: As Long As It Matters

Here's what I've come up with on As Long As It Matters.  I think it's
relatively easy to fake -- any comments, changes, tabbed
solos, real tab, other songs off CIS would be great and appreciated.

Chords:
G  (320033) actually, I think it's a Gadd9, but I'll just say G
D  (xx0230)    "      "   "    "   " Dsus2,  "   "     "   "  D
C  (x32010)
Em (022000)
A  (x02220)
Bm (x24432)


Intro:
        G   G D Em C D


Verse, something like this:

root of chord for first "bass" note
on the 1st beat of measure
followed by these strings
where 'x' corresponds to the
appropriate fret number in the chords below
E------------x-------
B--------x-------x---
G------x---x---x---x-

G D Em D C G Em D
G D Em D C G Em A


Chorus:
        G D Em C D

Bridge: (where Robin say something something "our time has almost gone"?
        G D C G C Bm? A

        G D Em C D repeat till end, ending on a "real" D (xx0232)
