Here's some more by Tracy Chapman:

If Not Now:

Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one.  

Follow the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that  

you're two frets up.  A pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string  

two frets above the capo, not the nut.

      Gmaj7                                    D

F-----0------0--0------0--|0--0----0----2-----|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--

C#-T--1------1--1------1--|0--1----1------3---|1------1--1------1--|0--1----1--

A--A--2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--------2-|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0--

E--B--3------3--3------3--|3--3----3----------|2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--

B-------------------------|-------------------|3------3--3------3--|3--3----3--

F-------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|-----------

F-----0----     This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make

C#-T----1--your promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G.  Again

A--A------0remember that the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of

E--B-------the D will be a C, the Bm and Am, etc.  In case it's still unclear,  

B----------here are the actual chord forms to shape:

F----------D (x32010), Bm (x02210), A (320003), F#m (022000, and G (133211).

Change to an F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately  

thereafter.  Change between G and A on the bridge to the repeat.

Hoped to finish her stuff up here, but looks like there'll be one more  

posting.  I'm not going to include "Behind The Wall" as it's a cappella, but  

will try to throw in the rest from her first album and what I've figured of  

"All That You Have Is Your Soul".
