Hi folks, 

I was very happy that Joan went to NYC to support OWS and in fact really 
happy that someone filmed her with a perfect angle so we can we at last 
the chords she plays. Especially, the Esus4 chord that makes it sound so 
particular. You will notice that her capo is on 4th, but she is, as usual, 
half a tone down, so put yours on 3rd. See the video at: 
time you read this). The fingerpicking pattern as she played at woodstock
is easy and I tabbed it here for you. She sometimes plays the E*** part, 
as I named it, in a simplier way, but I thought I'd show you how it goes. 
for comments or just to say hi!

Cheers to all Joan fans!

Pierre S.
