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.]
[Tbe E* cbords alternate between Esus4 and E.]
[Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and
the inspiration to write this one down.]

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
