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.]
[Eacb cbord is balf a measure.]

You got me ^G walking through ^G fire ^{C(9 D}
You got me ^G walking through ^G fire ^{C(9 D}
Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain
But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
