- SOMETHING OF A DREAMER (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
- ----------------------------------------------
- [Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this in A with a capo on the 2nd fret;
- John Jennings' lead part is in G with a capo on the 4th fret. The
- chords written here are MCC's.]
- [It's possible that MCC's guitar is in a weird tuning, but I can't tell
- for sure.]
- [The E* chords alternate between Esus4 and E.]
- [Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and
- the inspiration to write this one down.]

-
- D E A D
- She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
- D E F#m E [note: no A chord here]
- Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
-
- And she used to hear his voice at night
- A sweet whisper from the shadows, dancing with the back porch light
- And she used to feel him in the wind
- His warm breath upon her neck, and goosebumps up and down her skin
-

- She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool

- Well she should have known by now, but that's the foolish part of her
- D E F#m E - A
- She should have seen somehow, but a dreamer's never cured
- D E A E - A
- When heartbreak fast approaches, when a love ain't truly love
- D E F#m E - A
- He promised wine and roses, and she thought that was enough
