SENSITIVE NEW AGE GUYS (Christine Lavin)
----------------------------------------
[This song is really in D, I think. I play it in A, capoed up five frets.
Turns out Christine probably plays in it D (capo 2). I`ve written the
chords down in A; if you want Christine`s chords, buy her songbook.]

along on this song, it`ll help you with your male bonding
kind of thing. And to help you, I`ve rounded up every
sensitive guy I could find in New York City tonight, so you
