THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------------------------

[I _think_ these are the chords Mary Chapin uses. She might use a

non-standard tuning, which would mean these are wrong. But I think

these sound pretty good. Feedback is appreciated.]

[Actually in G; capo 3.]

[E=022100; Asus9=x02200; Bsus=x24400; C#m7=x46600.]

[intro]

E E Asus9 Asus9

The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door

Bsus Bsus E E

There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for

E E Asus9 Asus9

And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me

Bsus Bsus E E

Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#

And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas

C#m7 Asus9 E B

And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

E E Asus9 Asus9

We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I

Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9

Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D# C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E

[instrumental]

E E Asus9 Asus9

This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back

Bsus Bsus C#m7 Asus9 - Bsus

They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow

E E Asus9 Asus9

And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath

Bsus Bsus E E - E/D#

I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#

And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas

C#m7 Asus9 E B

And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

E E Asus9 Asus9

And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend

Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9

Since I came to the end of my pirate days

E E Asus9 Asus9

And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend

Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9

So I came to the end of my pirate days

E E Asus9 Asus9 Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9

[instrumental; repeat and fade]
