SENSITIVE NEW AGE GUYS (Christine Lavin)
----------------------------------------
[This song is really in D, I think. I play it in A, capoed up five frets.
Turns out Christine probably plays in it D (capo 2). I've written the
chords down in A; if you want Christine's chords, buy her songbook.]

car or lying on the beach with your Walkman on, please sing
along on this song, it'll help you with your male bonding
kind of thing. And to help you, I've rounded up every
sensitive guy I could find in New York City tonight, so you
just sing along with them, please, don't be shy!
