The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.
Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

KID FEARS (Amy Ray) -------------------
NOTES about the chords: * In the last chorus, where all the voices are tangled together, I tried to notate it as best I could. Amy's part is on the first line in capital letters; Michael Stipe's part is below that, in capitals and in parentheses; Emily's part is at the bottom, in parentheses but no caps. I went through the trouble of doing this because the songbook is completely useless for figuring out the end of this song... * Where it says C, that might often be C(9). Mix it up. * C(9)=x32033 or x32030; D11=554030 or x54030; Em7=022030
[Key of G] [Moderate 3/4 time; each chord is one measure]

This is the only tab I have (and you probably already figured this out):
EmCmaj7D11 E ------------|------------|------------|------------| B 0-----3-----|------0-----|------------|------------| G ------------|2-----------|0-----2-----|--0---0---0-| D ------------|------------|------------|4---4---4---| A ------------|------------|------------|------------| E +---+---+---|+---+---+---|+---+---+---|+---+---+---|
The chord fingerings I use for those four measures are: 022000 022030 | 022200 022000 | x32000 x32200 | x54030 | If you use these fingerings, you should be able to hear that tab part in the chords.
