- # From: schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu (Adam Schneider)
- {t:Walking Through Fire}
- {st:Mary Chapin Carpenter}
-
- #(This song is actually in the key of A, then it switches to B; I'm guessing
- # that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A with a capo on the second fret.)
- #(On a single guitar, you can do a pretty good rendition of the descending
- # pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) as x30010 and then changing to x30000
- # right before the D. For D(9) (in the latter part of the song), play it
- # as xx0230, and then xx0220 right before the E.)
- #(Each chord is half a measure.)
