Subject: Chords for 'The Only Lesson Learned'

     Some of these songs are almost as chordy as they are wordy (not a 
     criticism!): there are moments here where you will be changing chords 
     with every syllable you sing. The only problem I found with this 
     transcription is that the intro was almost impossible to write down, 
     because it's a run of five double-stops which lasts for all of a 
     second. The chord of A seems to work fine underneath (I think that's 
     basically what the notes played imply), but if anybody has any better 
     suggestions, or can slow down the record to discover *exactly* what's 
     played, I'd be grateful to hear about it.
     
     Selah!
