Sorry to disappoint, Mark--I've been sick--

Anymore, I just ignore the chord names and TAB, and all and just listen to the stuff and try to figure out a way to recreate what is going on. A lot of the stuff Harry Chapin did is a lot more simple to pick out than it is to work out from chord symbols--

Anyway, if it is music pedantry you want, I will throw you thisthought--a suspension is not a chord, it is a horizontal harmonic effect in which additional note or notes are suspended over a chord in passing--so the name of a suspension really depends on which chord was sounding before (or after) the fourth sounds(or whatever other note is being used)--if this effect doesn't happen(and you've heard it a billion times, think of the Beginning of "Eve of Destruction") then the chord should really be called an 11th--
