Okay, a couple notes about this song. First of all, the electric guitar
plays this song in D, and Mary-Chapin plays the acoustic guitar in C, capoed
up two frets (as I've written it here).
Don't worry too much about the bass notes in the chorus; they were just
so obvious I had to put them in.
The little riff at the end of the C Fmaj7 G G lines (after "tell me what
we're gonna do") is just Gsus4-Gsus4-G, Gsus4-Gsus4-G. Finger G as 320003,
and use your index finger to do the first fret on the B string. (Of course,
it's Asus4-Asus4-A if you play it in D.)
Each chord is half a measure. Capo 2.
One more thing: in her 1994 Acoustic Tour, MCC performed a slowed-down
version of this song. The chords were pretty much the same, but it was
finger-picked instead of strummed, and there was an E or E7 chord between
the G and Am, right before "But you pretend..." Try it.
