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

mirror sites such as ftp.uwp.edu - you can find local mirror sites by
using a program such as "archie". Cal Woods & Jim Carson, the new
maintainers of the Nevada archive have kindly placed in it a file to aid
archie searches. It is called "Nevada.Guitar.Archive". You can find

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!
Regards,
Ryan Harding
