Whoops, Clinton's chords are in C, not D. So my version of the bridge would be:

Am - Em -
F - - G
F - Em Am
F - - G

Joe, I'll try to get the Tamarack CD out of the library again this week and tell you what I can about the song's specs and James Gordon's connection to Tamarack.

Katlaughing, if all else fails, call me up and I'll sing it to you.

I find this song striking in the way that the lyrics scan into the music. It has a complex sound in that sentences and phrases stretch over several lines and there is very little in the way of pauses for the singer, or squeezing or stretching words to fit them onto the notes. It's like the words and music are a perfect fit, not a syllable extra or missing, and it isn't even clearly broken into "lines", but rather a steady flow... ah, you'll see what I mean when you hear it.
