Hi, 

         You'll find the chords here with the lyrics for Jack-A-Lynn, and 
     Down At The End Of Your Road. You may want to compare these lyrics to 
     others to see the missing words. The -> shows which line and [ ] shows 
     the lyrical chance. 

         Ian plays many of his songs using a capo on the 3rd, 5th, and 
     sometimes even the 7th fret. Mother Goose on the album was done on the 
     5th, but on last tour I noticed he had moved it down to the 3rd. Most 
     likely because of his vocal-cord problem. On Jack-A-Lynn the song is 
     done on the 5th. Above the lyrics are the actual chord names, but with 
     the capo on the 5th fret for example a G is shaped like an open D 
     chord without the capo. Also, these are just the chords printed and 
     not all the hammering of the pull-ups and pull-downs, positionings, 
     and the leads that Ian or Martin uses. Maybe someday I'll work out a 
     tablature to show some of the hammering that Ian uses and pass it on 
     the St. Cleve.
