well hey there people, this is William Johnson coming at you from Keene NH
saying that I've ben perusing the OLGA and would like to make my dent by
adding a few corrections and some new material.
Pop Song 89 you've got the chords right but are missing the main jangle.
So here it is.

rhythm guitar
verse: alternating A and D bar chords
chorus: going into open string E G D A (bar)
* = sometimes a slide
intro: A A D D A A D D D x 3
{ The opening lick is straight off an A blues scale. I don't have my guitar here to transcribe it. It doesn't sound good by itself anyway. Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha! no not the skin flute!} > &gAt; Hello DI saw youA I know you DI knew you > AI think I caDn remember youAr name.D..name A D A D&gAt; Hello I'Dm sorry AI lostD myself
> AI think ID thought you werAe someoneD else

E G D BaddE
> Should we talk about the weather'
&gEt; Should Gwe talk about theD governmenBt'
break: B / / / B / / / E / / / E7 / / / B / / / B / / / E / / / D/Dsus4 the melody on the break isn't too hard to pick out. The notes are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.
