Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter, Glasgow, May, 2018

_ _ _ _ I [B] know we're not that far away from each other, _ _ [E] but when you're _ _ _ _ talking to me, _
[D#] _ _ _ what [B] I hear is,
[A] Oh, I don't know.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So, how powerful.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ Someone told me once [A] this was the most _ autobiographical song they'd ever heard me come up with.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ I think they're [B] all autobiographical [D] in a way. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G#m] Every time I write a song that I [B] think is about _ _ _ [D] someone else,
_ _ _ I realize that [B] we'll all know.
_ [G#m] _ That's what I give to [A] you.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So, [B] I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of [E] Virginia, _ [A] _
with [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ some dogs and some [Bm] cats. _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] I'm the hermit that lives down the road. _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [G#] I've got this [A] great big hill behind my [D] farmhouse. _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ I [B] like to go there _ _
[G#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ during [F#m] what my [D] mother used to call a magic time.
That [B] time between dusk and [E] darkness.
_ _ [A] The golden [D] light. _
It looks so different.
_ It feels [Bm] different.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A] _ So, I get the gang [D] and _ we go up to the hill. _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ And if [A] you've seen a _ copy [D] of the new album, _ _ the cover is [B] me sitting on top of that [G#m] hill.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] I think it's my favorite place in the world.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] I _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ have a _ need _ [Bm] _ _ for [E] _
_ _ _ _ solitude. _ _
[D] _ _ _ I'll never _ [F#m] be _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] safe in a [A] crowded _ world.
[D] _
I _ like the [F#m] sound _ _ [B] _ _ of [E] _ _
silence [A] coming _ [D] home. _
I've come around, _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] but _
[A] everyone has _ [D] gone. _
_ _ _ _ _ I _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ have a _ [F#m] need _ [B] _
for _ _ [E] cool, vibrant _
[A] spaces _ _ _ beneath the _ trees.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Secret, [A] empty _ places [D] _ that _ nobody knows.
[F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ It's an [G#m] all [A]-unwilling _ truth.
[D] _ _ _ I have a need _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ for [A] _ solitude.
[E] _ _ _ But you [F#m] can find me [E] _ _ when _ _ [D] the light is [E] _
changing.
_ _ At [F#m] that time of day [D] when _ _ [F#m] there's little [B] _ [A] daylight.
_ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] You can find [E] me _ _ _ where [D] _
I've been waiting.
[Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] Waiting _ here _
_ [D] for you. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
I _ never _ _ [F#m] was [B] a _ _ [E] pretty _ [A] girl in _ school.
[D] _ _
I never was _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] a fair, nice, [A] tough, and _ [D] cool.
I'm all I was.
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] All my [A] life it _ seems [D] _ it's _ hard to _ love.
_ [B] _ _
_ [E] And hard _ [A] about to [G#m] keep.
_ _ _ But you [F#m]
can find [E] me _ _ when _ [D] the light is [E]
changing.
_ _ _ At [F#m] that _ time of day [D] when _ _ [F#m]
there's little [Bm] _ _ daylight.

_ [D] _ _ _ I'll never _ [F#m] be _ _ [B] _ _ _ _

[D] _ home. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ And [E] all the [A] rest have _
