Tracy Chapman (Cleveland, Ohio - 30 de marzo de 1964) es una cantautora estadounidense ganadora de varios premios Grammy y conocida por el éxito de canciones como "Fast Car", "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You" y "Give Me One Reason".
Desde muy pequeña aprendió a tocar la guitarra, y ya de niña empezó a crear sus primeras canciones. Es a partir de 1980, durante su etapa en la universidad de Tufts, en Massachusetts, donde se graduó en antropología y estudios africanos, cuando comienza a componer en serio.

Here's some more by Tracy Chapman:
If Not Now:
Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one. Follow the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that you're two frets up. A pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string two frets above the capo, not the nut. Gmaj7D F-----0------0--0------0--|0--0----0----2-----|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0-- C#-T--1------1--1------1--|0--1----1------3---|1------1--1------1--|0--1----1-- A--A--2------2--2------2--|2--2----2--------2-|0------0--0------0--|0--0----0-- E--B--3------3--3------3--|3--3----3----------|2------2--2------2--|2--2----2-- B-------------------------|-------------------|3------3--3------3--|3--3----3-- F-------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|-----------
F-----0---- This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make C#-T----1--your promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G. Again A--A------0remember that the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of E--B-------the D will be a C, the Bm and Am, etc. In case it's still unclear, B----------here are the actual chord forms to shape: F----------D (x32010), Bm (x02210), A (320003), F#m (022000, and G (133211). Change to an F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately thereafter. Change between G and A on the bridge to the repeat.
Hoped to finish her stuff up here, but looks like there'll be one more posting. I'm not going to include "Behind The Wall" as it's a cappella, but will try to throw in the rest from her first album and what I've figured of "All That You Have Is Your Soul". -Dave # LEWIS CARROLL 1832-1898 ## __________________________ # # | | He thought he saw a buffalo # | David V.
