Song: You Need A New Lover Now

Artist: Murray McLauchlan

Transcribed by Alan Kinkle (alkinkle@erols,com)

I first heard this song in the mid '70's and have been playing it ever

since. I believe it's from the album "Day to Day Dust". I learned it by

ear and haven't actually heard a recording for 20 odd years so some of the

words might be wrong, but this is how I remember and play it. Any

corrections are welcomed.
