Here's my attempt at the Verlaines' ``Gloom Junky'' from the *Ready to
Fly* album.

Notational oddnesses: I use a ^ in the chord name E^7 to simulate the
triangle often used for major seventh chords; I also use lower case
Roman numerals (eg ``viii'') to call for chords fretted in specific
positions.

I'm extremely interested in any Verlaines-related comments, chords,
and lyrics (especially lyrics to the tunes on the *Juvenalia* album).
Most Verlaines chords are quite hard for me to figure out.

I've seen the Verlaines live a couple times, but all I was able to
figure out guitar-wise is how Graeme wears his shirt sleeves.  :-)

Other Verlaines tunes I can post: ``Joed Out'', ``Slow Sad Love
Song'', ``Don't Send Me Away'', ``Jesus What A Jerk'', ``Whatever You
Run Into''.  Maybe a couple more.  If anybody else has any, please
post or email.

(Corrections to my chords are most welcome.  Also corrections to my
chord names (is Am (add 9) correct for the chord I give under that
name?).)
