- THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
- -------------------------------------------------
- [I _think_ these are the chords Mary Chapin uses. She might use a
- non-standard tuning, which would mean these are wrong. But I think
- these sound pretty good. Feedback is appreciated.]
- [Actually in G; capo 3.]
- [E=022100; Asus9=x02200; Bsus=x24400; C#m7=x46600.]

- E E Asus9 Asus9
- The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door
- Bsus Bsus E E
- There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me
- Bsus Bsus E E
- Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy
-
- C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
- And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
- C#m7 Asus9 E B
- And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
-
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I
- Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
- Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days

- C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D# C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E
- [instrumental]
-
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back
- Bsus Bsus C#m7 Asus9 - Bsus
- They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath
- Bsus Bsus E E - E/D#
- I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left
-
- C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
- And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
- C#m7 Asus9 E B
- And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
-
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
- Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
- Since I came to the end of my pirate days
- E E Asus9 Asus9
- And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
- Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
- So I came to the end of my pirate days

- E E Asus9 Asus9 Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
