Biography:
Suzanne Vega (born Suzanne Nadine Vega on 11 July 1959 in Santa Monica, California) is an American singer-songwriter noted for her eclectic folk-inspired music. Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: " Luka" and "Tom's Diner".

Here's my version of Suzanne Vega's "Rock In This Pocket". The
chords I've listed as D/B and D/Bb have more proper names (Bm7
and Bbmaj7 repsectively), but I think this is easier to
understand. Most of the time, you concentrate on the last four
strings and play the higher strings for affect (listen to SV
doing it acoustically to see what I mean). Also with the D/B and
D/Bb its OK to hit the open E every once in awhile. Play them for
a half measure each and then the A5 for a full measure in the
verse. Enjoy

You'll know me now
You'll know me now
