#
#QUITTIN' TIME
#(by Robb Royer & Roger Linn;
#performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
#
# 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.
