This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Gratitude -- by Ani Difranco

--------- ---------------

(from the album Not So Soft (1991)

-- for ordering info see her web page:

http://www.cc.columbia.edu/~marg/ani/

Standard tuning -- no capo

Disclaimer -- same as before; this is very approximate. Ani

plays it much better somehow. In particular, she seems to

be able to slide between one chord and another, which must

mean she's playing all these with some sort of bar chords?

I don't know.

Main part -- play twice as intro and keep repeating

thereafter. She does slight variations occasionally on

these (e.g. play Chord1 twice and skip chord2 sounds pretty

cool. Also strum across the chords instead of picking.) I

don't know "letter names" for these chords, so I just

numbered them, though it starts outwith an ordinary D:

Chord 1:D Chord 2(000230) Chord 3(320030)

--3------------|---------------|3--------3-----|
-----2--------2|---2--------2--|0--------------|
--0-----2------|---------------|---0--------0--|
