QUITTIN' TIME
(by Robb Royer & Roger Linn;
performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-----------------------------------
Okay, a couple notes about this song. First, I _suspect_ (but I don't
know for sure) that the electric guitar plays this song in D, and that
Mary-Chapin plays the acoustic guitar in C, capoed up two frets (as I've
written it here). (The recording _is_ in D.)
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.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
[intro]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
Hey baby, tell me what we're gonna do
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
It's getting crazy and I need some help from you
C C F F G G G G
We were so connected that you were a part of me
C C F F G G G G
Now I feel an emptiness right to the heart of me
Am G/B C F F C/E G G
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine
Am G/B C F
And though we should be at an end
Am F (2/4) G
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time
(4/4) C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
[instrumental]
Hey baby, I'm running out of things to say (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)
Please don't hate me, this feeling just won't go away (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)
Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy (C C F F G G G G)
Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be (C C F F G G G G)
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo, same chords as chorus]
[Repeat second verse]
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C F F C G G)
And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C F F C G G)
And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin'... (Am F G)
(So hard admittin' when it's quittin'...) (Am F G)
So hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)
